Yamato Cronut

Hi there! How's your September? It's already mid September and in a few more months it will be December again! Whoah! It's as if we are just starting 2013! And for 2013 Cronuts rules!

That being said, here's another Cronut experience of moi. This time I tried the one from Yamato. I actually wasn't planning on getting some Cronuts but then my sister brought me to Yamato and I saw that Cronuts were still available so I definitely got it at once. Since I've already experienced Cronuts I made sure to get Yamato Cronut with a unique flavor that the others are not offering. 

If I can remember it right Yamato Cronuts are originally available in 4 flavors: Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate and Matcha and are sold Php 130.00 each. But wait! They have a new flavor and it's a little different but I already forgot the flavor :). It's like cheeseburger something and it costs Php175.00 each.   

Now let's get going with what I think about Yamato Cronuts.

Close Up look, it looks crunchy!

What I like about Yamato Cronut:

• It smells more of the donut and little green tea aroma
• It's big in size too
• It has generous amount of Matcha and the cream in between the Cronut is in Matcha flavor too
• The cream has the same texture of the Bavarian cream in donuts
• I can taste the green tea flavor but it's very light
• This Cronut is soft (which I like) and has a crunchy texture
• Since it is soft, it's easy to bite but I can still fill the crunchy texture
• I love that it doesn't taste masebo even if I didn't reheat it anymore
• I didn't taste the sugary sweet (which I like)
• I was able to get it even if I didn't order it (I saw that they produced enough quantities)

 What I don't like about Yamato Cronut:

• Like any other Cronuts..... it's pricey

Look at the oozing Matcha flavor!

The middle part is more of the donut texture while the outer part is the one that has the croissant texture. (Sorry for the messy photo, the matcha flavor oozed out as it is in generous amount)

Will I buy Yamato Cronut again? Yes. :) I like this the most from the Cronuts that I tried.

I would still want to try the other Cronut brands. :)

What do you think about Yamato Cronuts?

Wildflour Cronut

Here's another Cronut which I am excited and wanted to try. I said to myself that if I will get my first Cronut, it should be from Wildflour. But too bad it didn't happen. haha Wildflour Cronuts are hard to get since it's always sold out so most of the time it's by order. I will be around BGC so I decided to order it, but they only accept maximum of 6 pieces per reservation unless you pay it in full. You have the option to deposit via bank or pay it at the store.

So here it is.. Keep on reading!

Their box looks good, simple and clean look. It holds 6 pieces of Cronuts.

Wildflour Cronuts are available in Chocolate, Strawberry, Mixed Berries, Plain and Vanilla priced at Php 120 each. They also have Dulce De Leche and Tiramisu at Php 150 each. I got a dozen pieces in different flavors.

On the first look, it doesn't look as appetizing and it looks hard.

Let's take a closer look of each of the flavors.

Chocolate

 The chocolate is good! I am not sure to what chocolate they used but it taste premium.

Strawberry

 The Strawberry flavor is also good! It taste very strawberry and not super artificial, it's very flavorful.

Vanilla

  The Vanilla flavor tastes very Vanilla and not super sweet.

Lastly, mixed berries like the other flavor tastes like berries. It's sweet but not super sweet and it's also not sour. All of the toppings / flavors smells good.

Wildflour Cronuts are big in size and are very thick.

Each Cronut has cream inside too and for the strawberry, the cream is with strawberry flavor too.

My Verdict:

• The flavors are great! It's very tasty and flavorful.
• The Cronut itself is crunchy on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside. It has the flaky croissant texture.
• The size is very big and thick.
• I find the flavored toppings somehow few, they can add a little bit. But not too much since it will be too sweet.
• It has its distinct taste as it doesn't taste like a croissant nor a donut.
• I hope that we can lessen the sugar on the outside, those big sugar bits.
• It's recommended to eat it at once when it's still fresh as I notice that it leaves a different mouth feel. I think it's the sebo? If you can't eat it fresh, I recommend to reheat it for a few seconds only so that you'll enjoy your Cronut better.

Will I repurchase? Yes, but I don't and won't go through the hassle anymore. I'll just buy if it's available when I visit.

Who would want to send me some Cronuts?? haha! Joke.

Do you like Cronuts?

Le Cour De France Croughnut

There is a Cornut Craze here in the Philippines and it's only now that I will be able to try it. It was very hard to get cronuts as I tried to get it from 4 different stores and every time.... Cronuts were sold out. So here I am, first time to try Cronuts from Le Cour De France. I first saw that Cronuts are available at Le Cour De France too from Jenni Epperson's instagram.

With the Cronuts craze, we already know what's it and how it started so I'll skip that intro and talk about the Cornut itself. For Le Cour De France they call it Croughnut. It's available in three flavors, Double Belgian Chocolate, Mixed Berries and Parmesan Cheese.

Image grabbed from Le Cour De France website

I've tried their Belgian Chocolate and Parmesan flavors.

Peek a boo!

Sorry for the messy photo. :)

My Verdict:

• Each Le Cour De France Croughnut costs Php 89.00.
• It's smaller than the size of the other cronuts.
• The Chocolate flavor tastes so good! It's like dark choco but not that bitter. It's not super sweet too. It has a great chocolate.
• The Parmesan cheese is also good. It's not salty but flavorful. It's a little smelly, but normal for this kind of flavor. 
• The cream in between of the croughnuts are great too! It's light and not so sweet but delish. The amount of the cream is generous too.
• The Croughnut base is a little hard (but not that super hard) and not chewy. It's not super flaky.
• For my first time to try a Croughnut I actually liked it specially the taste. But I find it pricey for the size.

Would I repurchase again? I will consider buying it again.
