SINGAPORE — Mister Donut is coming to Singapore for the first time – for a limited time only.

WAttention Plaza on Wednesday (13 July) said in a Facebook post that it will be featuring a Mister Donut pop-up store from Friday at its event space located on the basement one level of Jurong Point.

The store will operate from 11am to 9pm for a month, but that it will be adjusted based on the stock availability of the donuts, said the event space planner in response to Yahoo Style Singapore's queries.

"We plan to sell a maximum of 3,000 pieces per day. But because of the test production, the quantity will be adjusted based on the situation," it noted, adding that the store may close for the day if donuts sell out before closing time.

There is hope for those who wish to see a permanent Mister Donut outlet in Singapore. In response to a Facebook comment on whether such an outlet will open here, WAttention Plaza said it depends on the success of the pop-up store.

"The company (will) consider permanent outlets after review(ing) the situation of this kiosk. Please support us to make it (a) success!" WAttention Plaza wrote in its reply.

A total of 16 hand-made flavours will be sold at the pop-up store: Pon De Ring, Pon De Ring Strawberry, French Cruller, Angel French, Old Fashion, Chocolate Fashion, Chocolate, Double Chocolate, Golden Chocolate, Coconut Chocolate, Honey Dip, Sugar Raised, Chocolate Ring, Strawberry Ring, Angel Cream, and Custard Cream.

They are priced from $2.30 to $2.50 each, depending on the flavour. WAttention Plaza told Yahoo Style Singapore that customers can purchase any six flavours for $13 or any 10 for $22 and there will be no limit imposed on purchase quantity.

Mister Donut is the largest donut franchise chain in Japan and is widely popular there. The Pon de Ring, made of a connected circle of dough balls, is its signature item.

Opened since 2014, WAttention Plaza's space features more than 10 retail and food kiosks selling items ranging from traditional Japanese handicrafts to Japanese snacks, sauces and dried goods.
