The story behind this bakery is inspiring. A couple who lost their jobs during the pandemic started making these donuts from their apartment. Fast forward to today: They have a waiting list of 10k who want these donuts. Crazy!
Absolutely inspiring. AND the best donuts I have EVER had!
Sounds like you are peddling a Reality Show rather than food that is base on culture or tradition.
She did not lose a job during pandemic lol..she resign
They're a couple?
She is a nurse i guess?
Kora is actually the name of the late grandmother of the Filipina owner/chef. After her lola died, they run through her stuffs and found the recipe book containing the leche flan recipe. These doughnuts were made to pay homage to her departed lola.❤️
Such a beautiful story. Makes them even better
@@Foodiebunked also the chips are purple yams (different from Ube yam) but the starch was soaked out, just to give a different texture to the donut. Ube can only be shipped to the USA (not grown in USA) and they use frozen ube (that’s already pre-mashed) shipped to their store. Still yummy though, only Taro is grown in the USA but Ube is specific to the Philippines.
Actually many people here in the Philippines knows how to make a leche flan. So that's no secret. It's just that their lola didn't teach their grandkids how to make them.
Thank you for this video. I hope that Kora's Donut branch will be introduced in the Philippines soon! It is about time that we have our own donut recipe that is proudly Filipino! Can't wait to eat their donuts 🥯🥯
That would be amazing! I know so many of the recipes come from her grandma!
Oh yes please..they should bring it the Philippines.. I'm mouth watering now ..
Maybe they need to raise more funds as bringing a business to philippines require a big amount of money and also need to consider the COVID situation.
it would be a Php300+ per donut.
Yes pls. We should counter J.Co of Indonesia. 😅
Filipino food is so underrated. I wish more people were cultured. So they can come out of their bubble and taste the many varieties of food from around the world.
And that is exactly why I have my channel! we are challenging the ideologies of what fine dining and refined flavors are by exploring the depths of food and culture in order to learn as we go! You should check out my IG for more! @foodiebunked
OMG I was just watching the documentary of Kora's Doughnuts just yesterday. And found this review / taste test just now. Wow that was really so stuffed doughnuts.
Ooo what is the documentary called?? (And yes SO stuffed!)
@@Foodiebunked the vid is from the channel eater!
@@keziahtagao2002 thank you!!!!
same! that's algorithms for you lol
Same!
Too bad I am on the west coast.
I wish the owners good health and patience to be consistent with their craft.
Their doughnuts are BOMB, get it line if you haven't tried it yet.
Me too! They are great people
I really love how they are really generous about the size and the filling lol, the donuts looks stunning and delicious ❤❤
Right!
BTW, my congratulations to the people of the Philippines and your weight-lifting athlete who has brought home it's 1st medal. One more thing, I still believe that you have the best singers on this planet.
Are you the real madri player ?
@@jennetarosete5407 I wish, I do have Spanish blood in addition to 3 other flags. Now I found out about him by way of a Jamaican employee who crossed over to my dept. When he saw the schedule, he asked the question "hey Bro, where's the person that goes by this name, so I answered him, you're looking at him. I'm assuming that this Sergio must be maybe his late 30's or early 40's. Only that this Sergio is pushing 70.
The packaging alone is attractive🤌🏻 Kora, bring those donuts home in the 🇵🇭😂
This need to be a worldwide phenomenorm! Hope they can franchise across the globe.. we can see but can't taste it... 😭
That would be amazing!!
I really hope that Kora's Doughnuts will be introduced here in the Philippines. I really love their doughnuts! I also love your review video! Love from the Philippines
Thank you so much! And that would be amazing!
The Fact that they need to be introduced to the Philippines means that those donuts might as well be called Puerto Rican Donuts or Peruvian Donuts. How can Filipino food culture progress when everything that gets hyped in social media are just stuff invented by foreign entrepreneurs. Call it an Ube Donut. But Filipino Donut just sounds Desperate.
@@eduardochavacano the owner is Filipino
@@eduardochavacano What vendetta are you on? The donut isn't invented by Filipinos, the ingredients she's using are. The inspiration for them are. The people baking them are. That's what makes them Filipino. So are you telling me, that any french restaurant in the US isn't french if all their staff has no french ancestry? Fusion cuisine is a thing and it's always been present across history. Imagine denying someone's authenticity because they're half or children born from immigrant parents. What a hill to die on just to be a prick.
@@SoraJack didn't you see her interview? You can see that the owner is a Filipino she even showed her mother and dad they literally look Filipino
Wow! Grabe ang sarap siguro niyan. Hitsura pa lang work of art na. Sana magkaroon na dito niyan sa Pinas. Congrats sa nakaisip at gumawa ng donuts.
They are not stingy on that filling. Looks SO good!
No they are not!
This screams luxury. These donuts are not your ordinary donuts. Feels like you can only order and eat this at a 5 star hotel.
I know! They taste like it too! Lol
More than the tasty donuts, I like the optimism this blogger shows at 1:49 when there was no spot to sit, eat and enjoy their donuts and with the approaching drizzle she started to sing and play with her umbrella. As the old adage used to say ''when life gives you lemons make lemonade''. I appreciate you honoring the Philippines' first ever gold Olympian, She indeed lifted the country's name in her shoulders. Pinoys, let us subscribe to this channel that teaches diversity,positivity and honest good food reviews ! Now, it's my time to grab those insane donuts !
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me! You made my day 😊😊! Best donuts ever!!! Make sure you go to the website and preorder Monday at 3. They sell out SOOOOOO fast!!
The "Ube Chip" is actually a purple yam. The Ube is in the custard filling.....
The reason is because Ube is a pervasive species and can only be brought to the U.S. in a frozen form. The purple yam has a similar flavor and is a reasonable substitute if you have to wait for shipping or simply can't afford too....
Yes! I actually just learned this. Thank you so much for sharing!!
*invasive
But yes, it's illegal to ship fresh ube yams to the US because they're an *invasive* species here.
@@alistairt7544 lol thank you for the correction! Have a wonderful day!!!
Ube’s great, US should just let ube invade them lol
I'm crying. It looks sooooooo good. I probably would cry if I had a taste of their donuts tbh 😭
I might have cried after the video it was so good! Lol
This is the kind of review I was searching for re: Kora. Very authentic.
Thank you very much!
The way you explained the food is so good it's like I'm tasting it myself! ❤️
Yay! That is what I strive to do! Thank you so much 💜
It would be greatly appreciated if you went and followed my IG @foodiebunked I have LOTS of food places posted there 🤗💜
I'm watching this on my phone and I'm about to eat it! Seriously, I grow up with all these yummy flavors in one box. I would die to have this now. I wish they could overnight to Cali. Hay naku!
I hope they start shipping! That would be AMAZING!!
I love how this was vlogged in the streets!
Thanks 😄
I love how she react about that donuts I hope it's available in our country someday
Thank you so much! I hope so too!
Those Donut looks like insanely yummy! Naglalaway ako sa bawat kagat ni Madam. Super sarap the way each bite..
I feel like Pandan wouldve been a better choice to showcase filipino flavour than Avocado but it sounds super good still!
They actually change out certain flavors! So they might have it!
Hi John! She is right-we do have a Buko-Pandan flavor and our flavors are rotated each month. We have released a total of 15 flavors so far!
@@kora7562 🤗 and I can’t wait to try all of them!
@@kora7562 you guys planning on expansion? Toronto has a massive Filipino community and everyone is a foodie here:)
We’re still working on a storefront here in NY before we consider going anywhere else. (:
I've never seen stuffed donuts that are so stuffed 😳
I know right!!!!
Never could have imagined a donut cost 6.50 a piece. Man, they look really good though.
New York prices! BUT I will say that each donut you could argue has 2 deserts. Like the flan AND donut or the custard that’s on the inside. 🥰🥰
@@Foodiebunked No argument about these unique doughnuts. You get what you pay for here. Sadly I cant magically whisk myself to NYC and try these gems. They should try and expand to other large cities in the US. I enjoyed your video and thanks for your hard work.
@@cameranmanner4701 I so agree! They are new, so maybe it’s in their future!! Thank you so much. It means the world to us!
It's steep, especially when compared to chain donuts, but when I think of the quality of ingredients to the packaging and design, these are comparable to a dessert in a fine-dining restaurant. I wish they shipped. I love everything about this business.
Seriously? I wish they have it here in the Philippines hahaha it would be more fitting and yes! Umay na ko sa ibang mga donuts dito HAHAHAH
Try cronuts ng Wikdflour in Podium mall. kakaiba siya.
Mars!!! Let's to go NYC tom, meet me at Central Park.. char! Hahaha! Na watch mo na un vid pano nag start un owner sa business? That leads me here hehehe!
I could eat that whole box in 10 minutes, those look so good. Thanks for showing my people love, please make more content, you're awesome
I did eat the whole box in 10 minutes 🥲 and I could eat 2 more! Absolutely. Much love to the Philippines! 💜
I don’t like donuts 🍩, but they look beautiful! Really unique flavors and pretty delicate packaging.
Usually I’m not the biggest donut fan but these were epic!
You can tell the owner is a really kind person whose very passionate.
They are very nice!
Looks amazing! My mouth was salivating the whole time.
I love that you appreciated those beautiful donuts.
It really looks good and I believe it will be a hit once it comes to the Philippines,nice to see you introduce our product, stay safe have a wonderful day
Thank you! Tasted them all because of this video
That's soooo delicious!!!Now, I'm craving for Kora's donuts..
I crave them every day since I’ve tried them 😭 it’s a blessing and a curse
i like how you are so articulate and detailed with your vlogs. i just love that you are down to enjoy that donut out in the streets. less 10min video but i got everything i needed. amazinh
Thank you so much!!!!
Thank for supporting fiipino food..
Nice vlog, proud pinoy thanks for promoting Filipino food
Wow I think that's a very honest reaction and I feel like I can taste those donuts just by watching your reaction in every bite. It hurts to see you enjoying it coz i can't eat gluten but happy at the same time coz you loved them all!
I love how knowledgeable you are about the actual inspirations for these donuts!
Thank you so much!!!!
I love this!!!!
Wow never seen a donut like that it's so beautiful
It could be framed on the wall it’s so gorgeous lol
I'm on their 10k+ waiting list!! ✨ *SUPPORTING MY FELLOW PINOY / PINAY / PINX !!!* ✨
The trick is to be on the website RIGHT when it opens for that weeks orders! That’s how I was able to secure it 🤗
@@Foodiebunked Thanks for the tip! 👍🏿
These donuts are stuffed 🍩
No cap, some of the donuts I ate had miniscule fillings 😭
It is literally ALWAYS a problem! They just shove a little bit on one side of the donut while the rest is dry. But not only where these stuffed 360, but the donut was just so so so buttery! 😍
We want that donuts here in the Philippines!!!! Kora please open a branch here in Manila.
Oh my... I'm salivating in your every bite! I wish I could try those donuts, too.
Hopefully one day you can!!!!
Came from the kora donut production video, glad I found someone who actually reviewed it. Lovely!
Yay!! Thank you!!
I literally just started making donuts and my family has been loving it. So it's funny this popped up on my feed. Im very business mindset and I am thinking of getting into the donut business. I didn't think I would love cooking and baking so much but I do and is very calming for me! Il be back in these comments when I take off 😅
Yes!!!! Best of luck!
@@Foodiebunked thank you so much!
the way you described each donut when you ate it looking so delicious 🤤 im drooling from just the way it looks. thank you for supporting filipino people and their works. more reviews to come.❤️
Thank u so much!!
when you showed the cross section of the ube. wow!!!! wished all of the donuts here in the PH was like that
Amazing looking donuts. Great review!
Thank you so much!
It would be greatly appreciated if you went and followed my IG @foodiebunked I have LOTS of food places posted there 🤗💜
Wow..i'm salivating. The fillings are so generous. Thanks for featuring filipino foods to your channel. With that already subscribed to your channel.
Love From the philippines
Thank you! 💜
That's amazing!!
Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭😊💖You are so awesome with your narative and detailed breakdown of each donuts. Nice to hear from a non Pilipinos enjoying a desert inspired by Pilipino creation. We will be visiting NYC on June 2022. I hope we can have Koras donuts. It Will be in our list, but Queens. 🤔
YAY!!!!!! QUEENS HAS THE BEST FOOOOOOOD! Check out my website/ Insta for food suggestions Ig: FoodieBunked or www.FoodieBunked.com
If ur getting Kora be sure to order in advance! They do presale that Monday and it sells out QUICK!
Donuts are actually foreign to the Philippines. It is an anglo-saxon pastry. But what is common in the Philippines is sweets. There are more dessert recipes in the Filipino culinary tradition than main course foods. Its probably because it was one of the main sugar suppliers in the world up to the year 1900. So yeah.
more sweets than savory?? Sign me up!!!
And absolutely! This is 100% a fusion dish! Really cool as the chef is a Filipino-American fusing 2 cultures into a delectable treat!!
I could devour theseee, looks phenomenal 😋✨
I'm drooling.. Need to try that 😜
Wow, so hungry of the dessert right now. Thank you so much.
I love your enthusiasm and positive vibes! Aloha from Hawaii!
Thank you!!! Aloha!!! 💜💜💜
its so easy to make donut all you need is creativity new idea and mix of sweet flavors that burst inside your mouth. i am hungry hayst.
I'm glad that your vid is the 1st video I've watched this morning. You bring good vibe to my soul. Stay safe.
Awe that just made my whole day. Thank you so muchhh 💜💜💜
I havent had a doughnut for a long time and that looks so amazing
I was in the same position!!!!
The way you describe us make my mouth watering 🤤
Wow its like a donut in disneyland. Its my first time to see those.
It definitely was!
Its crazy that this donuts is filipino inspired but we can't buy one here in the Philippines since they did have a store open yet here in ph. I hope soon!!🤩🥰
the way you described calamansi is so on point and for me, really emphasizes your knowledge about food around the world, immediately subscribed!
Wow thank you so much! That is such an honor to hear that!!! You made my day 🥰
LOOKS so good
You did really great in this video supporting the business and each doughnut in the rain. I saw the story on this place and inside the business but, I didn't know they started during the pandemic.
Must not be any parks or restaurants in the area.
Thanks so much! And nope! This is a super industrial area. They are only open for pick up and technically not a shop
It's my first time to watch your channel, you've got me, you are a legit Foodie! You have deep insight and I could tell how you describe each flavor. Such a PRO! Subscribed already!
Awe thank you so much!! That means a lot to me 🥰🥰 feel free to check out my Ig for more stuff too! @foodiebunked
Hey thanks for featuring these Filipino Donuts. The leche flan ni lola and ube donut reminds me of media noche in the Philippines. Leche flan and ube halaya are 'must have' desserts. Looking forward to the growth of your channel! Which one of those donuts is your favorite?
Thank you so much!!! The ube and kalamansi!
@@Foodiebunked Awesome! 🎉
You definitely should open shop here in the Philippines.

Only an artist could make something so beautiful. They are truly art!
Yes, got the address for Kora.😍
Looks so delicious love those flavors of Kora hope to taste it too!
Hopefully one day!
I think it's awesome that you are celebrating our very first gold medal with us. Woot! Unfortunately, though, the International Olympic Committee recently decided to pul out weightlifting along with boxing (we got two silvers and one bronze) from the next Olympics. Bummer for us. I wish doughnut-making were a sport. Haha!
Of course! That’s a shame! I think those are actually fun sports to watch!!! Donut making AND eating. I might be able to win with eating 😂😂
Wow!
Thank you very much for mentioning the Philippines and it's first Olympic Gold Medalist after 97 years!
Subbed! What a fun video
Thank you so much!!!
Thank your for your review.
Love from Nigeria.😊😊
Hi! Thank you!!
Looks appetizing
