I have been addicted to donuts. Not just any donut but J.CO donuts at Sunway Pyramid shopping mall. No wonder in their website it says "Don't blame us for making you an addict". No matter how long is the queue, I must take out some of these donuts each time I'm at Sunway Pyramid. The problem is I visit this mall at least twice a week as my gym is located in the same floor as J.CO donuts. Despite warnings from fitness instructor about my diet, I cannot resist J.CO donuts. Just like many others who always go to this outlet and queue. I've never seen this shop empty.

What makes J.CO donuts addictive? They come in various flavors, very good texture and they remain soft even after overnight. My favorites are Mocha Bella and Tira Miss U, although Al Capone and Why Nuts are also not bad. They have a lot of other flavors to choose from.

J.CO Donuts originated from Indonesia actually, they opened two branches in Malaysia (one in Sunway and another one at the newest mall in KL called "The Pavillion"). I read from their website that they're opening soon in Manila. Check their website at http://www.jcodonuts.com. My friends back in the Philippines, watch out for J.CO donuts.

If it's donuts, it has to be J.CO. Nothing else for me.

When my high school friend Atty. Jayson Jorvina rang me up last week that his sister and son would like to visit Malaysia since they will be holidaying in Singapore, I thought he was only toying with the idea. Last Friday night it was a reality when Jasmin and company arrived in Kuala Lumpur via Five Star bus/coach from Singapore, a journey of about six hours.

When they told me that they have no return ticket yet, I had to try to find them a good means of transport and it was not easy as I have not taken any bus to Singapore before. I would normally drive. I remember hearing from a friend that there is this bus company called "Aeroline" with superb facilities and service (check at www.aeroline.com. my).

I found information on line, and I can also book online. The bus departs not in the normal bus station but from popular shopping malls and hotels in the Klang Valley (KL and surrounding areas). The nearest to my place is at Sunway Pyramid shopping mall which is a convenient 15-20 minute-drive.

The bus is double-decker with ergonomic low reclining seats on the upper deck, while the lower deck is a lounge with comfortable sofas for passengers to relax, stretch their legs or watch a movie or just read magazines and newspapers.

The fare for an adult is RM80.00 and RM50.00 for a child. This includes light meals and bottomless hot beverages, served by a full time stewardess. It's a very reasonable price for a luxurious bus trip to Singapore. When I sent them off yesterday, I saw for myself how comfortable is the bus. I was so impressed that I can't wait to try it myself in the near future.

I would highly recommend to my friends who would travel from Singapore to KL and vice versa.
