Have you ever tasted matcha, black sesame, and ube flavoured donuts?


Well, the young Donut Papi in Sydney is serving these Asian flavoured donuts with a twist - they're colourful, big in sizes and showcase a lot of Asian ingredients that you can imagine.

And behind this new donut place is a story of three siblings and their desire to promote Asian tastes including Filipino flavours to the wider Australian palate.

Kenneth Rodrigueza shares the humble beginnings and ultimate dream of Donut Papi.
