Plus, it's adorably pastel yellow and incredibly tasty. View this post on Instagram New donut shop in Chinatown! @mellovancouver offers brioche style filled donuts🍩. The selling point is their amazing monochromatic interior😌 swipe to see! ➡️ . My opinion is that the dough/sugar reminded me of asian style “maxim’s bakery” donuts. Iykyk 😂 I went twice and it did seem like they improved a bit. I also tried their corn flake cereal cookie and enjoyed it. It was not too sweet, almost savoury, and very chewy.
