Doughnuts are best served fresh while the dough’s still warm and soft. Good thing these doughnuts are hard to leave untouched, whether it’s a tukshop-like jam-filled number, churros dripping with chocolate sauce, Guy Grossi’s globi (Italian ricotta doughnuts) or the jin deiu (sesame doughnuts with custard) from Flower Drum. Try stopping at just one.
