I like that you can tell she knows all the science behind everything she makes. You can tell they really developed the whole process over a lot of time.
-
I remember when they were first featured on Food Insider and how they used to make these donuts out of their home kitchen. Incredible progress in one year. Congratulations to Kora on the business!
-
What I love most about their process is that they WASTE NOTHING. Every scrap, from the leche flan to the kamote, is repurposed. And they look soooooo good too! o7
-
Her knowledge on a chemical level of dough is really impressive. Smart pastry chef & obviously a great businessman too. Good for her. Happy to see someone do something they love & get rewarded for it
-
I just wish her grandmother could see how many people enjoy her recipe. She created something that outlived herself and brings enjoyment to thousands. Truly a beautiful thing.
-
Can I appreciate that everything is pre-order so and food scraps are incorporated back into the doughnut so nothing goes to waste. everything looks so delicious!
-
Kimberly needs her own cooking show. She's an amazing narrator and you can tell she is really into her craft which is contagious.
-
that is the cleanest cooking station I've ever seen, and the donuts are so diversely unique!! It looks so appetizing and is a literal ART!
-
I respect anyone who value their heritage but not afraid to do something new.
-
I love how at Kora, they don’t seem to waste any food! All scraps are used in another part of the dish, which just makes the dish better! Go Kora! May business be booming for you this new year!
-
I’ve tried them before and they’re 100% worth the hype! Each donut tastes different and it really captures an authentic Filipino taste.
-
I feel like Filipino desserts & snacks are slowly becoming recognized for their uniquely delicious qualities. From the place that makes halo-halo and ube (or corn) ice cream, now we see flan donuts, this is a wonderful thing
-
I appreciate the fact that everything is used, scrap and all, so that nothing is wasted. Hats off as well to the ingenious ways of incorporating Filipino ingredients in creating new recipes.
-
This girl was my tutor when we were in college and she is such an AMAZING human being!! So smart and just a welcoming soul, so happy for her!!
-
I have never seen such beautiful donuts in my entire life. The way you break down all your ingredients like a science; having sweet flavors, bright colors, different textures to enjoy. You know what they do and how to handle them. It's a beautiful art to watch I always admired chefs and their diligence and tenacious drive. Just amazing and I wish nothing but the best for you and your team! Also I want to try all of your donuts!!!!!
-
Literally want to go to New York just to try this 😍 I’m easily moved by the hype! Haha
-
She took Filipino desserts in a whole new level.
-
I respect the fact that they use the scraps as part of the recipe itself. No waste, pre-order donuts… it’s a very sustainable way to run a donut business
-
This shows so much about how a person's appreciation towards their culture and family is integrated into their expertise. Very inspiring and heartwarming, indeed.
-
I’m not a donut person but I can appreciate the attention to detail and the overall aesthetics of these creations. 👏🏽
