SUMMER ROAD TRIP 2015: MA - DUNKIN DONUTS

Setelah menyelesaikan tur naik kapal di Sungai Charles, kami kemudian bersiap melanjutkan acara jalan-jalan di kota Boston dengan naik trolley bus dari depan Cambridge Side Galleria. Saat memasuki mall ini (dermaga kapal ada di belakang mall) kami sempatkan untuk mampir ke gerai Dunkin Donuts dan membeli setengah lusin donut. Dunkin Donuts rupanya berasal dari state Massachusetts ini. Kami baru tahu setelah si embak tur guide menceritakan pada para wisatawan yang ikut naik kapal pagi ini bahwa state ini nggak akan kekurangan donut karena ada pabrik donut besar di sini hehehe ... Gerai yang ada di dalam mal sama saja dengan gerai yang ada di tanah air (seingatku). Kami pun memilih 6 varian rasa yang berbeda dan kemudian membawa keluar kotak donut yang sudah kami bayar. Sambil menunggu bus datang, kami cicipi donut yang kami beli tadi. Rasanya sama dengan donut sejenis hehehe ... Menurut wikipedia: Dunkin' Donuts is an American global doughnut company and coffeehouse chain based in Canton, Massachusetts in Greater Boston. It was founded in 1950 by William Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts. Since its founding, the company has grown to become one of the largest coffee and baked goods chains in the world, with 11,000 restaurants in 33 countries. The chain's products include doughnuts, bagels, other baked goods, and a wide variety of hot and iced beverages. The company primarily competes with Starbucks, as over half the company's business is in coffee sales, as well as with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Honey Dew Donuts. Before 1990, Dunkin' Donuts' primary competitor was Mister Donut, but in February of that year Mister Donut was acquired by Dunkin' Donuts' owner Allied-Lyons. After the acquisition of Mister Donut by Allied-Lyons, all Mister Donut stores in North America were offered the chance to change their name to Dunkin' Donuts. As of 2014, Dunkin' Donuts is owned by Dunkin' Brands Inc., which also owns Baskin-Robbins and previously owned the Togo's chain. Na ... Mengingat Dunkin Donuts berasal dari state ini, tentu kami ingin mencicipinya di lokasi asalnya. Meski rasanya sama dengan donut lain yang kami pernah kami cicipi, paling tidak kami sudah merasa senang karena bisa membeli Dunkin Donuts di kota asalnya hehehe ... Yuk mari dicicipi ...
