Take 3
We are well into Hanukkah and so the sufganiot tasting continues. On Monday night we tasted a sampling from the Roladin bakery. This is a national chain, known for its over the top creations for the holiday. As an aside – Sunday night was the first night of Hanukkah and we went to a party for Millie’s class. On the way, we saw a very long line out the door of Roladin bakery! Gotta get those sufs.
The four kinds we tasted were pineapple, Oreo cookie, chocolate chocolate, and vanilla with crunchies on top.
Oreo cookie was the first, and everyone gave it a thumbs up.
Next was pineapple, which turned out to be Bev’s favorite but Millie did not like it. I thought that I would not like it all but it was pretty good.
Next was the super chocolate one. Millie squeezed the filling and we all liked that one.
Finally, the vanilla. Aviva did the filling honors. Again, a good donut but no one’s favorite. Overall, much better than the last batch we tried and we would eat them again!
By the way, Aviva’s idea of eating a sufgania is to lick the topping and leave the donut part.
Take 4
On Tuesday we headed to the Golan for a little Hanukkah break (Millie is off from school and no doubt we will share more from the trip later). We made sure to grab four sufs from one of our favorite bakeries, Dulce, so that we would have some to sample at the hotel.
We started with the traditional – jelly filling. Not anyone’s favorite but a solid donut. Next was the strawberry cream. We all liked it – and Bev really liked it. Third was the chocolate covered one, which had chocolate filling. The filling was a lot like the chocolate spread they have here, so not anything special (though the chocolate on top was good). Finally, the one that I will call caramel. It was very good and very sweet with a lot of filling. As per usual, Aviva just wanted to taste what was on top and not per usual, Millie did not seem that excited about any of them. (Not too long after she let us know that she was not feeling well.)
I am not sure we can keep this up! Actually, at the hotel we are staying at they have sufganiot every evening at 6 pm, but they are the traditional jelly filled donuts, so no fun in that!
