“Te Samie Ponchiki” is actually a Russian phrase that means “those donuts”. The name is very attractive from a marketing perspective, although the shop is very small and there’s only one in Tashkent at the moment.

I was walking by this shop and decided to look at what was available. I found that the donuts were made inside this shop by the sellers which means the donuts are always fresh there. They’re not that big, I think the diameter is a maximum of 4 centimeters. You can buy them either per kilogram or per donut. The price for 6 donuts was $2, last time I bought some.

The main aspect of “Te Samie Ponchiki” I wanted to tell you about is the taste of donuts. I am not a fan of sweets by my nature but if I recommend sweets, then they are really worth it. They are so soft, not that sugary, and very very tasty. I have never tried donuts tastier than those sold in “Te Samie Ponchiki.”
