If you haven’t tried a Malasada yet you haven’t experienced Hawaii. Actually, that’s a lie. Word on the street is that malasadas are actually a Portuguese tradition. If you like crispy cream donuts you’ll love malasadas. It’s like a donut, but it’s not missing the hole, so I didn’t feel cheated since the center was there. Also it’s made when you order them so you always get them hot out of the fryer and rolled in granulated sugar. They can be order filled with cream. My favorite is the haupia cream, which is a coconut flavored cream and is heaven in your mouth.

Malasadas run about .80 cents for one. They are large so I think one ought to be plenty. If you get two you’ll feel like a fat lard afterwards and if you get three, you probably are a fat lard.

Now as for the service, well I was told not to say anything mean about this place otherwise I’d probably have hit out on me by the Hawaiian mafia, since the place is well known around town and by the locals. However, this is my blog and I’m just keeping it real so if I happen to stop writing, I want to thank all my fans and stockers for all your support.

Have you ever noticed how donut shops never have donuts covered in powdered sugar. I never understood this. There’s glazed donuts, sprinkled donuts, granulated sugar donuts, etc. But never ever powdered sugar donuts. A hot hupia cream filled malasada covered in powdered sugar sounded heavenly to me so I did what I always do when I want something, ask for it.

“Can I please have a haupia cream filled malasada, but rolled in powdered sugar instead,” I said.

Grandma goes,”We don’t have powdered sugar,”

“That’s not powdered sugar on top of that eclair right there?,” I said.

Grandma goes, “They’re for the eclair.”

First off, grandma’s a lier, and she wasn’t too slick about it. Second of all, is it really that hard to sprinkle some freaking powdered sugar on a donut ball and make a young girl’s sugar dreams come true? I think not.

Whatever, it was still heavenly, just without God. For the website and directions click below.
