We’re no strangers to Mister Donut since they made their mark in Singapore in early 2024. The Japan-famous chain is also known for their seasonal flavours, the most recent ones being Uji matcha, and kopi and kaya. Now, they’re back again with a special launch: purple sweet potato doughnuts!
There are two new doughnuts as part of this Autumn series. The first one that’s just rolled out on 17 September is the Daigaku Imo Pon De Ring ($2.80), which stars the brand’s iconic mochi-like doughnuts infused with purple sweet potato. After it’s fried, the doughnut is glazed with a caramelised sugar syrup for added crunch and sweetness, then topped with nutty black sesame seeds. The glaze and sesame seed garnish are characteristic of Daigaku Imo, a Japanese delicacy of candied sweet potatoes.
Next up is the Benitenshi Cream ($2.80), slated to launch on 8 October. This filled doughnut is made with Benitenshi sweet potato from Kaisuka, a popular confectionery store in the Ibaraki prefecture in Japan.
The fluffy round doughnut is packed with a smooth cream infused with actual Benitenshi sweet potato, then dusted with more purple sweet potato powder.
You can buy both doughnuts at all Mister Donut outlets when they’re launched. While you’re there, consider getting a bundle of six pieces for $14, or 10 pieces for $23. Do note that there’s a top-up of $0.30 per piece if you’re ordering the Daigaku Imo Pon De Ring or Benitenshi Cream doughnuts.
Mister Donut now has seven outlets across the island, including 313 Somerset and Anchorvale Village.
If it’s your first time trying their doughnuts, we recommend going for the classic Pon De Ring Chocolate ($2.50), topped with a dark chocolate glaze. The Japanese-style mochi doughnut is made with tapioca flour for that chewy, QQ texture, and is also available in flavours such as plain and strawberry.
In related food news, there’s a new atas food court at Dairy Farm Mall by the name of Farm House! Check them out the next time you’re in the West. Otherwise, read our Orchard Road cafe guide for food recommendations in town.
