While y'all cry over Cronuts in New York (they do look delicious), Hillary was feeling deprived of American sweets and wanted a simple doughnut (all the cake here is a kind of sponge cake, so we really miss the richer American sweets). So we went to the local bread store and picked up what was labeled a "vanilla doughnut".
But alas, similar to this whole trip so far, things were not as they seemed as the donut was not a donut, but instead a bagel cut in half with some kind of vanilla flavored cream spread between.
It wasn't that bad tasting. but when you were expecting a doughnut it was kind of gross. We really aren't sure what was in between the bagel slices but we do know now to be a little most skeptical with our pastries (as with all other things here).
UPDATE: We went to a doughnut shop called Bapple to try again but didn't have much luck. Chinese doughnuts look pretty but the actual pasty itself is rather dry and stale. It was better tasting than the weird bagel thing though.
