So my review is based upon some malasadas that the hubby brought home from Vegas.
What are Malasadas say you? Malasada is a Portuguese type donut. Malasadas are made of egg-sized balls of yeast dough that are deep-fried in oil and coated with granulated sugar. They are popular in Hawaii and since Las Vegas is considered the "9th Island" you can definitely find them in Vegas... I was craving the famous Leonard's malasadas found in Oahu, so when my husband visited the in-laws in Vegas, I asked him to find some of these yummy treats and bring some back home to the Bay Area.
My only concern was the fear of being disappointed by what he brings back... boy was I happy! He came back with some haupia filled Malasadas that felt like it weighed half a pound each. Haupia is a type of coconut custard, and it was perfect inside these warm slightly crispy Malasadas. The custard was not too sweet, therefore, i scarfed down like 4 of them... *oops!* **blush**was I supposed to save some for the kids? Overall, they are still not as good as Leonard's but they definitely "fit the bill" when it came to cravings..
I cannot wait to try the rest of the food here in person. BOOKMARK!
