Fresh n Hot Malasadas

On the drive from Kona to Hilo at the Big Island lies a hidden pit stop to those craving Malasadas! For those who don't know what it is, it's a Portuguese pastry made of yeast dough that are deep-fried in oil and sprinkled with sugar. Basically a donut! If you love donuts, you'll love Malasadas! They are traditionally not served with fillings but they offer lots of fillings here that work quite well.

For only $1.06 a Malasada, it's not bad in pricing. It'll be 50 cents extra if you want a filling.

Here were the available fillings when I was there:

Bavarian, Chocolate, Pineapple, Apricot, Raspberry, Cherry, Lemon, Strawberry, Guava, Mango and Apple.

Have you drove past this without making a stop? Shame on you! Totally missing out! Please share if you like this post! =)
