1000yregg Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My cousin went to Hawaii and came back raving about malasadas, a portuguese doughnut-like pastry that's deep fried. She described them as more eggy than donuts. Anyone know if you can get these in the region? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laniloa Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 They are one of the things I miss most about living in Hawaii. If you have ever had an Italian zeppoli, they are very similar. Might be easier to find in the DC area - at a San Genaro feast at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezepowder Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I don't know how they are, and I don't know if they're still on the menu, but Restaurant 3 has this on their website menu at least: "Coffee and Doughnuts Malasada style doughnuts with a chocolate coffee sauce - 6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22209 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 My cousin went to Hawaii and came back raving about malasadas, a portuguese doughnut-like pastry that's deep fried. She described them as more eggy than donuts. Anyone know if you can get these in the region? I love Leonards' malasadas As mentioned by cheezepowder, it's on the Restaurant 3 menu but I haven't been to try them yet. I personally prefer the plain (sugared) malasadas, so am not sure about the "chocolate coffee sauce" .. on the other hand I can't imagine not liking anything with chocolate coffee sauce, so you never know Here's the only place I've had malasadas in the area, and they don't even seem to know that they are malasadas -- Sweetwater Tavern. Before your meal, one of the types of "bread" they give you is what they call "ozzie rolls." As soon as the waiter put them on the table, my eyes lit up, and I grabbed the sugar and poured some on my plate then rolled the ozzie rolls around in them. Once coated with sugar, they were malasadas! Trust me, I've had way more than my share of malasadas in my lifetime. The bowl of malasadas is actually one of the photos currently in rotation on their menu page: http://www.greatamericanrestaurants.com/sw...menu_dinner.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toogs Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I don't even remember where we were, but a lady was selling some from her driveway near some attraction. Much better than the commercial ones we got later, which were also very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
