The Best Malasada
on Oʻahu

Portuguese fried dough rolled in sugar, no hole. Eat it warm.

Leonard's Bakery in Kapahulu is the cathedral of the malasada — the line wraps the building on weekends and the Portuguese fried dough comes out of the fryer every few minutes. Hot is the only way to eat one; anything less is a compromise.
