Monnani Kkwabaegi Korean Twisted Donuts
The food court inside Zion is constantly changing. Now you can get Korean twisted donuts. Donuts are made to order and take about 5 minutes. I ordered the cinnamon sugar and the sugar donuts.
After they were cooked I watched the lady at the counter pour sugar on top. Texture was like a yeast donut mixed with brioche bread.
Flavor of the dough was a bit like a yeast based donut. Sugar twist was a mix of sweetness and fried dough. This was my favorite donut. Cinnamon twist was sweet with a blast of cinnamon. Good but a bit more cinnamon than I prefer. I love how fresh the donuts are. Server was nice and quick.

I like to take photos of beautiful things like rain falling into puddles. Photos were mostly taken on a Fuji XE-2. Starting 9.9.2016 most photos are taken on a Fuji XT-2. Subsequent photos were taken with an Iphone 13 Pro and an Iphone 15 Pro Max.

Yum! I’ll make a stop next time I do a sushi run at Zion. These look and sound similar to Italian donuts (zeppole).
Soo
Is there a good local spot to get Italian donuts?
Joy
In San Diego I’ve seen these (zeppole) at restaurants as a dessert but in that case they’re amp’d up and not the ordinary type of simple donut you’d find in any bakery (pasticceria) in Italy. When it comes to Italian dolci (or pastries) San Diego covers gelato but not much else.

Bummer. It would be nice to try one.

Great post, Soo! Still want to try the savory items on the menu-fresh fried, made to order; it’s County Fair Food available daily! The Food Court at Zion is wonderful.

Thanks Cathy! I’ll have to visit the Food Court more.
