Tweez,the only reason they didnt give out doughnuts that they were making at Marina was cause it was the first time they started the machines.Since production is automated,the machines have to be fully calibrated for them to make doughnuts upto KK standards.They would never give anyone doughnuts from test runs.I dont think people would want them either. KK's commissary is one of the cleanest in Kuwait.How do i know that? i've seen it and I know for a fact that they spend hours cleaning up,which is considered unusual in Americana. Moocherx,the commissary is for specialized doughnuts and other products.They do have a donut machine, which is being setup at the moment,which will make the original glazed doughnuts fresh in the store.Also all the icing on the flavoured doughnuts will be done by hand in store. soory for the long comment.

You'll see these guys walking around with porta-kiosks on their backs pushing a trolley loaded with boxes of KK. I got 2 boxes last evening. Oh yea, they start 7pm onwards. PS: If you wanna catch em as soon as they get in, take the starbucks exit (from the fountain) and watch the first exit on the left. At least, thats where they were coming in from yesterday ;) Hey Mike,

Is it to make people *think* they've been made on the premises, wheras really you're getting the factory ones iced with rat pee? Talking of Kuwaiti gluttony - does anyone know if the "old" Burger King on Belajat St. beach is going to still be a BK when it's finished? It looks wayyyyy too smart now. umm… if they’re making the donuts in fairwaniya and bringing them in by truck, what’s the point of having the donut machine?

When you have that first bite, it's all good and you feel great. Then you get that sugar high and your head hits the roof. But after that 4th one you downed, you start to feel like Dumbo the Elephant. Kuwaiti gluttony will reach a phenomenal high if KK has a drive-thru. *sigh* I like the smell of KK.

I ate fottor with my some guys and wanted to see how KK was going and we found out that they were making doughnuts and couldnt be happier. We asked the Indian manager to give us a few sample, heck we even told him that we'll buy some, but he decided that the trash was worthier than the customers. He then told us that they will bring in some fresh ones from their factory and will distribute them to people at the Marina Mall at around 8. Anyways, I just wanted to share this interesting bit of information to ya'll. mark,

The donuts will have a weird taste to them when they are made from a brand new machine. After about 10,000 donuts, then the machine will have donoughty taste.
