I had NO idea what a malasada (Portuguese Doughnut) was until I went to Leonard’s Bakery in Honolulu!!!
My friends told us we HAD to try these iconic malasadas during our short Hawaiian vacation, and BOY they were right!!! These Portuguese Doughnuts had a crispy, sugary exterior, warm and fluffy interior, and once the fillings from the inside exploded in your mouth, that was the pinnacle of the malasada experience.
We ordered 2 malasadas: the mac nut filling and original, and had the mac nut fresh on the spot. That was the 10/10 experience, whereas eating the original one hours later at our hotel wasn’t even close to the fresh experience. Lesson: you HAVE to eat these FRESH!!!
