I think the first time we tried Gavino's donuts, we were in Megamall. We were just walking around and this little stall popped into view. "What a weird/cute looking donut" was the first thought in our heads :) We ended up trying some and it kind of clicked. So here we are at one of the bigger stores they have in the Greenhills area.
Here's what we had that day: some Oreo and choco-almond styled donuts. It's not big, actually it's pretty average size-wise. The difference is in the unique chewiness of the dough. It's kind of a cross between the lightness of a J. Co. donut and the chewiness of a Chewy Jr. donut; combining both textures into one not-as-light-and-not-as-chewy donut. It's hard to describe, so that's as much as I can do it without giving you one :).
The choco-almond donut had some nutty flavors to offset the sweetness of the chocolate coating.
And the Oreo donut was all sugary, but not too sweet for us.
If you ever drop by their stores, we don't think it would hurt to give their donut a try. In an increasingly donut-filled country we live in, it's nice to experience their one-of-a-kind take on donuts. At just under 40Php for one, it doesn't really hurt the pocket too much either.
