As Singapore’s 59th birthday rolls around, F&B brands in Singapore are pulling out all the stops to wish the nation a happy birthday. Mister Donut is one such brand—the Japanese mochi doughnut franchise has announced a limited-time collaboration with the iconic Ya Kun Kaya Toast in the name of National Day.
The collaboration stars two exclusive doughnuts that, according to a press statement, “combines the heart-warming flavours of traditional Singaporean breakfast with the classic sweetness of Japanese-style donuts”. The two flavours will be available from 1 August to 31 August at all Mister Donut outlets islandwide, at $3 apiece.
Now, onto the flavours. Diehard Ya Kun kopi lovers will be delighted by the Ya Kun Kopi Pon De Ring, which features a mochi doughnut infused with Ya Kun’s celebrated sock-brewed kopi. The doughnut is finished with a bittersweet coffee milk chocolate glaze. This was a collective favourite in our office, and we think it’s definitely worth a try.
And of course, those who love kaya toast have to try the Ya Kun Kaya Cream doughnut. This isn’t a mochi doughnut, but instead, a classic bombolini. Customers can expect a fluffy doughnut filled generously with an airy whipped cream blended with Ya Kun’s signature creamy kaya. Don’t expect a jam-like consistency; instead, you get a velvety smooth kaya filling that’s more coconutty than sweet!
While each piece retails at $3, you can also purchase a box of six for $14 or 10 for $23.
Mister Donut is also running an exclusive promotion, wherein ordering any two doughnuts from the collab will get you a Ya Kun Kaya Toast Scratch-and-Win card. Scratch the card, obviously, and stand to win various prizes, including $1 off a Ya Kun muffin, a free upsize for your next hot kopi or teh order, or $1 off their Value Set Meals A to D. This promotion is limited to the first 100 customers per store, per day. Each customer is also only entitled to one card.
