Hipster doughnuts, latest attraction in Kuala Kangsar
KUALA KANGSAR: Doughnuts in fanciful colours and varieties could normally be found at franchise outlets of reputable companies only, but they are now available at regular food stalls that it has gone viral on social media.
For doughnut lovers in Kuala Kangsar, they can now enjoy this sweet snack, known as ‘hipster doughnut’ at a food stall owned by husband- and-wife team Mohd Izwan Mohamed Nazir, 36, and Nor Nafishah Ab Hamid, 35, in Taman Chandan Puteri, here.
Nor Nafi shah said she and her husband started the doughnut business about two weeks ago by offering customers a wide range of variety and flavours such as strawberry, durian, pandan, chocolate and blueberry.
“I have been in the business of selling various types of snacks such as Malaysia burgers, cucur badak, curry puffs and banana cheese for the past two years. Only recently that we started selling doughnuts too,” she told Bernama, here, recently.
Nor Nafishah said she did not expect that her ‘hipster doughnuts’ priced at 50 sen each could be sold up to 600 pieces per day and go viral on social media.
“I am surprised to see people come to our stall even before it opens at 3.30pm and the doughnuts will be sold out by 4pm or 5pm.
“I am thankful that this snack has gone viral that I get many customers and the profit is good,” said Nor Nafishah, adding that her stall operates daily except Fridays.
The mother of three said she used 15 kg of flour to produce about 600 pieces of doughnuts and assisted by her husband at the stall.
“I have a plan to make more doughnuts, but can’t do it yet as I am the only one who prepares the dough as early as 5am daily and I am also the only one frying the doughnuts,” she said.
Sharing her experience, Nor Nafishah said she initially wanted to commercialise her banana cheese snack and didn’t expect her trial run of making hipster doughnuts would receive overwhelming response from customers. — Bernama
