Food Oddities: Hoops Donuts

by Keith McDuffee, Posted Sep 9th 2005 @ 1:49PM

What is it these days with wasabi-ing everything? I was in Trader Joes the other day, and there are bags of wasabi coated things I'd never thought of. Wasabi pretzels. Wasabi chips. Wasabi peas! Just when I thought it couldn't get stranger, here comes Hoops Donuts which has, among other strange flavors, wasabi donuts (though they are not listed on their website, as far as I can tell). Unfortunately they're only located in the Philippines right now. Wait a minute... they have coffee dipped donuts?! I'm making a Homer Simpson yummy sound right about now.

I can find nothing on their corporate site, but google has a few after tasting reviews:
