Krispy Kreme Milkshakes

Taste

Krispy Kreme advertises their milkshakes as “Old fashioned milkshake just like the way it used to be.”. I guess by that they mean they use flavoured syrup instead of real fruit? There’s nothing wrong with that, when sometimes all you want is some comfort food. My caramel ($3.95) was quite nice, malty and sweet, with a scoop of ice-cream to thicken things up. It actually tastes a bit like their donuts!

Slokky loves that fake strawberry taste, so for him, the strawberry ($3.95) was heavenly. For me, it was just like having a Maccas thickshake, except with better quality ice-cream.

Look

Even the packaging evokes that old-fashioned milkshake. We watched them make it with the sugar syrup in the classic silver shaker.

Not too bad as you do get a pretty big serving.

Taste

After my disappointment of my last smoothie here, after having such great smoothies on occasions beforehand, I was really hoping that this will be nice, and I’m happy to report they were up to scratch. They can make either milkshake (1 scoop) or thickshake (3 scoops) with any flavour you like.

I couldn’t go past the banana d’lite, but I made sure I had a taste test first before I got it made. I didn’t have to worry though, as it was one of the best banana ice-cream I’ve had.

I decided against my usual picks of nutty cream flavours, and went for the strawberry surprise instead. This one made a smooth fluffy strawberry milkshake, much better than the Krispy Kreme version, with real strawberry flavours!

I’m glad I went for the milkshake as it wasn’t too creamy or overpowering, the ice-cream and milk blended together very well.

Look

In the usual green packaging. The straws you get are a bit weak to slurp this up, but it was nice and fluffy.

Regular for $4, I think it’s much better value than the smoothies.
