JCo Donuts right when I arrive

JCo Donuts right when I arrive

When JCo donuts arrived in Cebu City, Philippines, you have got to line up a long queue just to get a taste of this delicious donut from Indonesia.

So, when I got to Jakarta, I made sure I get to taste this donut right at the place where it originated. My favorite from JCo is the Alcapone. The Alcapone offers a very sweet and milky taste with a creamy vanilla frosting complementing the donut base very well. You will enjoy a topping of some crunchy almond slices. Surely, every bite gives you so much bliss for the perfect mix of taste and texture. 



Alcapone donut from JCo is best paired with a cup of coffee especially if you just arrived from a tiring trip.

What I love about JCo Donut is its being soft and sweet. Unlike other donuts, JCo donuts are not that sweet to give you fears of having diabetes. 

Indonesia welcomes you to this wonderful country with a taste of JCo donuts right at the airport arrival area. One branch of this coffee restaurant chain is located at the airport.


Jco, being an Indonesian brand, has established a very strong presence in all of Jakarta. Do not be surprised if you see several JCo stores around the city. If you love donuts, JCo is one perfect fit for you especially if you are travelling to Indonesia.

The Airport in Jakarta

The Airport in Jakarta

The airport in Jakarta, Indonesia is one of the nicest airports I have been to in Southeast Asia. It is huge and clean.

When I visited in February 2016, the government was expanding the terminals for a bigger airport.

Jakarta is one of the fast rising economies in Southeast Asia. It is evident from the ongoing improvements and expansion of the infrastructure facilities here like that of the airport in Jakarta.
