In the beginning of September, there was a (or rather: the) Serbian food fest one weekend and, having found out about it somehow, the brothers went to check it out, lured in by the promise of meat cooked on a spit, grilled meat -- meat, meat, and more meat, in a word. :P While there, they noticed that the place had a dessert counter as well and came back with Serbian doughnuts! Apparently, the table was likewise advertising the very alluring "box of sweets" for $5 -- I assumed it had to be baklava or a variety of flaky, filo pastries -- but there was none left; the festival, taking place during the weekend (September 6-7, 2014), was already wrapping up on Sunday and very little of what was advertised was actually still there. In fact, there was no meat cooked on a spit either, so the brothers were a little disappointed, but I digress.

Outwardly, the doughnut ($1, I believe) is quite humble and unassuming. Lacking the fruit filling of its Eastern European counterparts, this was pretty much a ball of fried dough. The thing that set it apart from the others featured on this website: unlike many, it came fresh and we all know that nothing beats fresh, deep-fried doughnuts. ;) Crispy, not-too crispy light brown outside and soft inside with a denser, moister dough than I was expecting. Top it off with a little powdered sugar and it was... amazing. *-* Now that was a doughnut! You know what, it might just be Mississauga's best doughnut.

Come next year, I'll be there. Let's just remind ourselves to get there on the Saturday. ;D
