    Baker here! Just wanted to let you know the donut was fried not baked! It's actually the other way around where fried donuts are airy and light and baked donuts tend to be more cakey and dense!

    I was there for my birthday a week ago and I fell in LOVE! I never felt so much at home I never wanted to leave. I recommend tourists to ditch the touristy fancy restaurants and go support local family owned businesses plus the food taste way better.

    Please don't get the wrong idea here but as a swede I can confidently say we do not pronounce bageriet that way! It's just the Swedish word for bakery. Regardless of how much this mispronounciation made me giggle I really appreciate the video containing both Swedish and Filipino food culture, since I'm half Filipino myself! Maybe I can finally get to try some Filipino flavors when I come visit next week? 🍦💕

    I'm English but haven't lived there for about 10 years. I'm amazed at whats available nowadays.. Migration has some benefits!
    Being an old chef I know doughnuts are deep fried... Living down in the south of Spain we're denied fresh cream. I remember chocolate eclairs, which is a choux bun filled with unsweetened whipped cream and topped with chocolate. If you visit the UK you've one of these... Love the video. It reminds us brits the lovely things on our doorstep...
