(SPOT.ph) Grabbing a bite of a sweet, sugary treat is one way to add color to drab afternoons—and for residents of Tondo (and others who frequent the area), Yanin's caters to this very need. The small shop's captured the eye of locals with their mini doughnuts—which are as drool-worthy as they come and mega-affordable too, going for as low as P65!

Here's where to get those mini doughnuts trending on TikTok:
Yanin's sells bite-sized Minidownut or mini doughnuts (P65/Solo with seven pieces, P165/Party with 16 pieces), which they whip up fresh in batches using an electric mini-doughnut maker (similar to a sandwich press!). They then dip the finished doughnut bites into a melted chocolate mix (white or milk depending on the flavor/s you go for), place them on a tray, and drench them with even more of that melted chocolate mix and/or other toppings. Flavor mixes include Nutella, Oreo, Sprinkles, Mallows, Crispy (as in rice crispies), Almonds, Alcapone, Milo, and Klim; they're generous on the toppings, and you can get assorted flavors in one box.
The resulting treats have a resulting taste and texture closer to baked pancakes than traditional deep-fried doughnuts, but are delish in their own right, especially coupled with the added richness from whatever toppings you go for. And hey, you can't beat the price—talk about a great gift idea or way to sate the hankering for sugar anytime you're pinching pennies.

There are two popular branches of Yanin's in the area: one at Ugbo Food Park that sells just the doughnuts, and a second branch in Pacheco street with a wider lineup. The latter has more substantial eats that are filling enough to count as a meal, yet as affordable as it gets: we're talking Bacsilog for P80, Baked Mac and Carbonara for just P50, Pancit Malabon for just P55, Champorado with Hershey's chocolate for P55, and more. Pair it with one of their signature drinks, like the Mango Tapioca (P50/16 ounces, P100/22 ounces) or Lemonade (P25/16 ounces, P100/22 ounces), and you've got yourself a rewarding meryenda sesh that doesn't break the bank! (The catch? Given their uber-popularity, expect a line if you decide to drop by.)
Yanin's is at the Ugbo Food Park, Ugbo Street, Tondo, Manila; and 402 Pacheco Street, Barangay 67, Tondo, Manila. For more information, check out the Facebook pages of Yanin's Food & Drinks (Ugbo) and Yanin's Milky Drinks & Kuya Jek's Tapsharap (Pacheco).
