It&#8217;s everywhere in US . And i know they&#8217;re not the healthiest choice of meal , but like i said once in a while probably you end up going there just because that&#8217;s the only place that pops in your mind , or just you&#8217;re hungry for chinese food . So , every chinese buffet that i&#8217;ve been to ( probably about 3 times i went to different ones of buffet the past 5 years ) , they always have these doughnuts . I don&#8217;t really think they&#8217;re supposed to be dessert , since they&#8217;re not in the dessert aisle .. LOL , but whatever it is .. i thought it was yummy and addicting . Of course , they&#8217;re deep fried just like american doughnuts , and anything deep fried is always good , though it&#8217;s not healthy , like i said before .<\/p>\n<p>And to my surprise , these things are amazingly easy . I knew they&#8217;re not going to spend time making yeast doughnuts , and spent a lot of money on it .. the yeast , the bread flour etc .. I knew there had to be something , somekind of a shortcut that they did .. to make these doughnuts . After all .. it&#8217;s a buffet , and supposed to be cheap . So i thought .. maybe we can use refrigerated biscuit , those pillsbury doughboy biscuit , instead of baking them , why not deep frying them . Boy was i right !!! I picked up the cheapest , store brand biscuit , and then i deep fry them for few minutes til they turn golden brown . And sprinkle sugar .. and voila .. there you go , you&#8217;ve got chinese buffet style doughnuts !!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/chinese-buffet-style-donuts.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1487\" title=\"chinese buffet style donuts\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/chinese-buffet-style-donuts-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/chinese-buffet-style-donuts-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/chinese-buffet-style-donuts.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am sure most of you been to those chinese buffet .
