In case you are not from Hawaii, malasadas are a Portuguese treat made of deep-fried balls of dough covered in sugar, and Leonard's Bakery is the iconic Hawaii chain that makes them.
My friend and I went to the big one in Kapahulu. Busy as usual, a no-fuss type of place. We stood in line, passing by other snacks they serve (but we were there for malasadas only). I ordered a regular and a chocolate-filled one. You can also order them with cinnamon instead of plain sugar. For about 79-cents each, you can't get a better deal!
We were lucky enough to find a bench available outside and watched the world go by while eating our malasadas. Delicious!
The outside is slightly crispy and very sugary, while the inside is warm and soft. This place is a must if ever in Hawaii.
