Custard Cream Donuts

A bakery is not a bakery if it does not have custard cream donuts. If you pass by one, look for small bread coated with sugar and some excess filling on the side (usually tells the flavor of the filling). Custard cream donuts is one of my favorite pastries ever since. This is our usual snack after we play patintero and piko at the nearby playground. We have this with some ice cold sago’t gulaman also from the bakery.
