 Shimshon Eat Jerusalem presents Shimshon's Hanukkah Souvkanaya adventure. Hi guys, this is Shimshon Leshinsky reporting from Jerusalem. We're near the end of Hanukkah and we have to do our traditional Hanukkah crawl, tasting different delightful donuts. So we've come to the best of the best, the Kadosh bakery. It's the most expensive, the most glamorous and they've got about 15 different donuts we're going to try two today. Saladhof is a very simple Barakus place about 30, 40 years ago and then about 10 years ago the younger generation changed the whole thing and made it very glamorous, a kind of French-European style. So let's go in there and eat these glamorous donuts. This is our chance to say Lechaim for you and all of myself. We want a lot of things, we want peace for yourself, we want Shim to guide our soldiers, our hostages and we went back to stability and normality. Lechaim haqsamaya. Strong. Hanukkah, you know, Habuk Hanukkah for everybody, celebrating, all the Jews are celebrating in Israel. So we make the donuts here up top in the Kadosh area. So we have here Pate Sier Frim with marmalade. Marmalade? Yeah, marmalade, sorry. It's a bit special marmalade, marshmallow with a raspberry and dry raspberry. Marshmallow, blackberry? Okay, I have here Kevlova. Kevlova with a jam. Kevlova jam. And breaks of meringues. Meringues in it. This is coffee cream. Coffee cream. This is mixed berries. Mixed berries. This is chestnut. Chestnuts. Put a little doughnuts that cover with caramel. Now that Jim Sean had become acquainted with all the delightful doughnuts on offer, it was time for him to make his choice. Jim Sean picked out two doughnuts to sample and see if the quality of Kadosh's Souvganeot lived up to the fancy decor. Should we open the box? Should we live beyond the box? Let's do it. We've taken two out of about 12 or 15. We've got here the Kevlova and we've got here the chestnuts. It's all very fresh. It's just all happening. It's exciting. You need a coffee with that because it's very sweet these things. And we're doing the mitzvah of celebrating Kanoko. The place is packed. There's lines to get in. Lines for everything. People jostling. And now we're doing it. Let's try the first one. Okay, we're doing the chestnut one now. It certainly looks beautiful. It looks interesting. They have a unique way of packaging it. The competitor, English Cake, tried to make doughnuts that look the same way but it didn't taste the same. Wow, they're generous. When I was a boy, it wasn't generous like this. It was just a big bread roll with a tiny teaspoon in it. We'll try that one. Fresh, delicious. You can taste the chestnuts. Very soft, fresh doughnuts, a nice cream, you know. So easily we'll give this nine out of ten. Now we'll just try this little topping here. It's got a glazed little roll here on top. So it's a bit of a glaze. It's a bit of a decoration. Quite nice. Doesn't really, no chestnutty thing there. But overall now we're going to move to the Pavlova, which is something from Australia and New Zealand. Named Pavlova originally was made by famous ballet dancer. But we need a bit of coffee between, you know, not to mix the flavors. Now we're moving to the second one, the Pavlova. We're cutting it in half here. It's got meringue. It's got some cream. And it's got some jam. So we'll see how that's doing. Quite a nice filling here. I can taste the kind of Pavlova feel to it. Delicious, great. This is nine and a half. This is even better than that. So the chestnut was good. The chestnut flavor wasn't as dominant as I would have hoped. But really we've come to the best place. Kandosh is 19 shekels free. The doughnut is very expensive, but delicious. So we hit the jackpot. You should get here fast because after Hanukkah the whole doughnuts of Kaniyia's team dies out. Cold in Jerusalem today. There's a lot happening. We're doing doughnuts of Kaniyia taste things, just as Hanukkah nearly finishes. And it's a festival about bringing in their life with this darkness. And Israel has gone through terrible times, traumatic times, probably the most traumatic since the state of Israel was established. But there is hope. There's people helping each other. There's people together. And of course there's restaurants and food. As Jews always need good food. We've had our latkes. We've had our doughnuts. We've had our spinach. So I'm feeling positive about the future of Israel. So we look at the past and we look at the future. It's all connected as Jews. And we feel that there is light, that there was darkness. And we've had a terrible catastrophe. But I believe in Israel. I believe in the Israeli army. And even though a lot of the politicians are problematic, overall the people know what to do to run this country the way it should be run. So I miss Elkhai. We're hoping for the good future. It might be in one of the amazing places. They do interesting doughnuts. Fresh, beautiful colors and flavors. They're very popular. Sometimes you can't get in here. I've had this one. I've had the regular strawberry and I've had the regular caramel. And they're both fantastic. In fact, they're bought 100 early this week. As doughnuts picked out, Shimshun was ready for a second round of reviews. We've got two here. We've got the gold one and we've got the chocolate one. It's got fancy ingredients, fancy names. We'll try a little bit of each from Roche or the gold nut. What do you want to start with? Ferrero Rocher. Ferrero Rocher is a chocolate which is very popular in Israel. It comes from Italy originally. And also the Nutella chocolate spread comes from the same factory. It's chocolate and hazelnuts. So we're going to try a bit of this. It looks amazing. Really, for chocolate lovers like me, this is paradise. Oh, it's going to be messy, this one. It's hard to cut. Oh, there's different things inside as well. That's the thing about, well, they put lots of different things in it. Different spreads. There's about five different ingredients in here. So we'll try this and see what happens. Soft, fresh doughnuts. Lots of different chocolates and nuts and layers and spreads. Very sophisticated. So definitely I'm going to have to go for the 9.5 out of 10 as well. In fact, 9.5 out of 10. The pistachio one was even better I've had here before. Donut two. Okay, now we're quite here. It's a gold nut one. The owner, Asher, recommended it. So we're going to cut it inside and see what we get here. These doughnuts are very sophisticated. Lots of layers, lots of different things. Not as much filling as I would have expected from a roll of doughnuts. Yeah, in fact, it doesn't look like there's enough filling here. This could cost them the Sifgania victory. That's right. I mean, they're fighting. Oh, there's a bit more here, but not enough. I think they should have been more generous like in the other ones. We'll try this one. There's nuts and cream, but it's quite got a custard sauce into it. Not enough filling, you know. Somebody stacked off. Somebody had too much to drink the night before, I think. So it's still decent. It's still nice, but it's going to go down to an eight. So for Sifgania later, and the result of Sifgania's crazy doughnut extravaganza are in. Kadoosh got a nine and a 9.5 from the food reviewer, giving it a total of 18.5. Roladine got off to a great start with 9.5 on his first Sifgania, but fell down on doughnut number two, which according to Sifgania just didn't have quite enough filling, giving it a total score of 17.5. The victor in the Jerusalem doughnut runoff for Chanukah 5784 is none other than Kadoosh Cafe.
