If you guys have followed for a while, you'll know that I've been eating manoush at Suhhtan Bakery since the beginning of high school. I love this place. Anyway, somewhere along the lines the owner started challenging himself to make donuts. I never really took an interest in them because I was always just there to grab my manoush fix. I'm not much of a sweet tooth either so it felt weird to me to follow up my glorious za'atar and cheese fold with a sweet treat. Over the years, the donuts started getting thicker and more puffy/airy in appearance. And recently there was one donut that caught my eye. It reminded me of this stupidly good donut I had in Korea, a twisted donut called chabssal kkwabaegi from Gwangjang Market (photo on the last slide!). I remember biting into it. It had a warm crisp on the outside, and it was very pillowy. The cushiony bite came from their use of glutinous rice flour in the dough. I don't think the donuts at a Lebanese bakery use glutinous rice flour (or do they???), so of course I didn't expect it to be exactly the same but nevertheless, it was a damn good twisted donut so I'm writing home about it. I'm just as surprised as you are that a manoush bakery has such donut prowess. The twisted donut is dusted with cinnamon sugar, and, like in Korea, it's also very pillowy when you bite in. Wasn't warm though because it's not kept under a food warmer. I've tried the twisted donuts at a couple of Korean shops in Lidcombe actually, Sunshine King Dumpling, Prince Bakery, but funnily enough Suhhtan Bakery has so far best scratched the itch for a good twisted donut. P.S. the owner is the only one that makes the donuts here, so you'll only see donuts for sale when he's around. He also only makes one big batch of donuts around 9am every morning at the moment so visit early when they're the freshest. I haven't tried the other flavoured donuts here, but if you do let me know if they're good! Price: $5 📍 Suhhtan Bakery, Regents Park
