One of my goals while in Hawaii is to eat all the food unique to the islands. After dinner at S's house this week I shared this goal with her and said that she needed to accompany me on all the trips. (I have dependency issues, I don't like to be alone lol.) We were discussing all the places when I brought up Leonard's Bakery. S asked what was there and before I could answer her husband, B, shouted out "Malasadas!" We both asked what that was and he said, "Soft pillows of awesome." Of course boob jokes had to follow for the next few minutes.
**For those that don't know (like S and me) Malasadas are a Portuguese baked treat. Like a donut without a hole. Leonard's Bakery is well known for many baked goods but malasadas are one of the more popular ones. **
We looked up Leonard's Bakery online and saw that they have a food truck that is located by the Waikele Outlets, about 20 minutes away from us. S needed to do some shopping for her Lularoe VIPs so we decided on a whim to just go out and kill two birds with one stone.
The Malasada's Mobile has six different types. Three are sugared (original, cinnamon, li-hing/sweet and sour) and three are filled (custard, coconut and chocolate).
After getting 24 total malasadas (because we are freaks with eyes bigger than our stomachs) we put them in the car and went to take care of the shopping. As we were leaving S said, "Lock the doors! We have important donuts in the car!" When we got back in the car it smell soooo good. Soooo very good!
When we got to S's house we pulled out a plate and began picking malasadas and sampling them.
We were laughing and compared it the likes of sampling wedding cake lol. Ticklebug and B kept making fun of us because we would take one bite from each malasada and then the rest would be left on the plate. I don't know why they were complaining, they swooped in and took pieces from our sampling plate...
To be honest I think that the malasadas were just okay. They weren't anything life changing. Maybe it's because we didn't eat them right as we got them. Ticklebug and I agreed that it was nothing to write home about. It just made us our favorite donut joint back in Maryland, Arundel Donuts.
