New West BC
Popped in to get myself another of the Vancouver area’s better doughnuts.
My favorite wasn’t available today, the Lemon Zinger. It is brilliant. That post is here
Some good choices today though. We ended up with the Strawberry Vanilla and the Raspberry Custard.
Of the two I definitely preferred the strawberry vanilla. That’s a dollop of real cream with a bit of real strawberry on a ring donut. It’s light and not overly sweet.
I personally found that while delicious, the Raspberry Custard donut was a bit much. The custard was excellent, you can really taste the raspberry. But I found there was just a bit too much cream inside. You can’t eat it without making a huge mess.
Now I know complaining about too much cream is a first world problem. For me it just made the doughnut overwhelming.
But that’s my personal preference. I’m sure there are lots of you out there that would say put more cream in it.
Regardless both donuts were excellent.
I haven’t had a sample from every doughnut shop in Vancouver, but of the places I’ve tried Yum is close to the best doughnut in Vancouver.
