If you are a foodie you will not miss the voodoo doughnut in Portland, Oregon. This place was not introduced in the official travel brochure of Portland, but anyone who loves food will never miss this place. The Los Angeles Times took this place into an international tourist attraction. I think it gets more and more popular by spreading from mouth to mouth and then become a legend of doughnut world. Be prepare to wait for a long time outside. Everyday there are lots of tourists or local people lining up for doughnuts.
美食这玩意很有意思,一旦有朝一日红起来,众口铄金的力量足已让她成为一个传奇。我们波村的voodoo doughnut就是这样一个美食传奇。
去波特兰,如果不尝尝巫毒甜圈里千奇百怪的甜甜圈,你都不好意思跟人说你去过波特兰。在波特兰官方发行的旅行手册里并没有介绍这一站,不过但凡来这里的吃货,绝对不会错过这站。《洛杉矶时报》就把这里捧成了国际旅游景点。这里从早到晚,不分节假日工作日,排队购买甜甜圈的人都是里三层外三层,时刻提醒你,领略传奇是要付出代价的。
我也毫无例外地融入排队大军中,娃爹带娃一边吃东西去了,留我一人在这漫长的队伍中煎熬啊,谁让俺嘴谗呢。还好,来了个流浪艺人,弹着琴(不好意思,不知道那是什么琴)等待有人往琴箱里投票子。我厚着脸皮,排着队,在他面前缓缓前行,我也想扔点,可惜我兜里没现金:( 可怜的卖艺人啊,从鲍勃迪伦的take me home唱到重口味摇滚,最后还边弹边唱边走太空步,而且弹断了两根弦,却没啥收获,仅几位靓女鼓了鼓掌。美国人被这些街头艺人都宠坏了,视而不见,我有时总是很不忍啊。
I was lining up there hoping to go inside as soon as possible. A street artist was playing the banjo, which made the waiting less boring. He singed, danced and played music from Take Me Home of Bob Dylan to hard rock until two strings were broken. Unfortunately, I didn't have cash in my pocket.
还是等啊等啊,发现甜圈店旁竟然是家成人色情影院,Paris Theatre
Waited and waited. Suddenly I found there was an adult porn cinema be in the next door: Paris Theatre
拜托,不要老这么彰显你的历史感好不好,“Paris”完全斑驳地看不出来了。建于1890年,的确够老。跟旁边粉色招牌的巫毒甜圈相应成趣,搞的voodoo doughnut也带着暧昧的色情味道。食色性也,这两者在一起,绝配!
The bill board were shabby. I could barely recognize the "Paris". It was built in 1890. very old! I felt very interesting about those two stores are close to each other because in China one of our Ancient philosophers said "Eating and sex are human nature". I thought the two stores just represented this famous saying perfectly.
This is the front door of the cinima
前脸是这样的,活色生香。有兴趣的同学们可以去体会一把啊,这里看不会像北朝鲜那样,绝对正大光明,没有被机枪扫射的风险。

沿途掠影,让我减少了排队的无聊,找旁边的同排者要了份菜单拍个照
I asked for the menu from customs next to me.
Don't believe that the store just have those doughnuts on this paper. It has more and more.
眼花缭乱,可别以为voodoo就提供这几种圈圈,人家有上百个品种呢。
招牌上印着voodoo doughnuts的口号“The magic is in the hole”,跟旁边的色情影院相得益彰啊,这里我不多说,少儿不宜,你懂的。
Do you see the slogan on the board? “The magic is in the hole”. Please relate this slogan to the adult porn cinema. I won't say more. I think you can know what I mean.
招牌颜色“粉色”,看见拿着粉色盒子出来的人,还在排队的人全都投去嫉妒加羡慕的眼神。
终于快要轮到我了,兴奋得快跳起来。
finally it was my turn to go in. The decoration made me a little bit dazzled. It's mixed style. Underwears were posted on the pink wall. I smelled the taste of porn. Hahahaha......
店里的装饰让人眼花缭乱,完全混搭啊,内裤内衣都裱起来,堂而皇之上厅堂,还是透着色情味啊。
墙上密密麻麻写着这些圈啊,我哪有时间看,好在有现场展示柜,跟sales直接指就完了。
lots of doughnuts on the shelves.
选好后sales就直接从后面夹

Do you see the voodoo doll? It is the famous doughnut in the store. Voodoo doll changes everyday. If you want to know all of them buy it everyday. Today the voodoo doll is kind of scared. Pull off the stick on his body and open it you will see the "blood". It is a bloody doll :P
My two little boys are allergic to them. I am the only one who can enjoy them. I saw a family buy some doughnuts and kids ate all of them. Parents and grandparents looked at their kids but nothing left for them. Pool adults!
I think doughnuts in this store is way too sweet for me. If the sugar can be reduced to 3/4, that would be my cup of tea.
