Even if you are a donut fan, you would not have come across this before. These unconventional doughnuts are a cross between an ice cream cone and a doughnut.
A new player in the dessert and café category, Coney Donut recently opened at the revamped TripleOne Somerset Mall, located across 313 Somerset.
Its concept is anchored in transforming the classic doughnut into something that is more than just a deep-fried cake with a hole.

Home-made fresh daily, the doughnut cones are crafted by rolling strips of dough around a stainless steel cone mould.
These were inspired by the Hungarian Chimney Cones.

I observed that they were deep-fried and not baked, as the process would give an impeccable crispier texture to the outer layer even though it is more time-consuming. Yet, the end product was surprisingly not that greasy.
Once cooked, these warm and fluffy doughnut cones acquire a mild sweet taste with hints of caramel flavour.

Each doughnut cone holds a different filling, and you can choose from their selections of both sweet and savoury items.
On the sweet side of the spectrum, you have home-made soft-serve ice cream with unique, seasonal flavours and assorted toppings. For the savoury side, you get options such as scrambled eggs and bacon, and tuna mayo.
Discover what Coney Donut is all about through this line up of recommended items:

Brown Sugar Boba Custard Cone ($4.80)
You had Brown Sugar Bubble Milk before, but I am sure you would not come across a Brown Sugar Boba Custard Cone.
The cone is lined up with syrup on the inside, but this time it is the trendy brown sugar as a sauce.
The syrup-lined cone is then filled with a creamy milk tea flavoured custard cream, and finished off with a topping of chewy boba pearls.
Check out how the wildly popular brown sugar milk tea has morphed into a doughnut cone here at Coney Donut. It actually… worked!

This cone comes with a generous filling of crispy smoked bacon strips and cooked-to-order scrambled eggs topped with chopped chives.
If you fancy a good scrambled egg, you will like how light and fluffy these scrambled eggs are.

Chilli Dog Donut ($6.80)
If you simply needing a snack elsewhere, the Chili Dog Donut is recommended as a side kick meal.
It is basically a hot dog served in a donut bun, and topped with meat sauce. The mild sweetness of the cone contrasts the savoury meat flavours of hot dog.
Eating it may be strange at the start – as there was this slightly sweetness, then it starts growing on you.
