Sigh. BUT, I will confirm for Joanne that Komoda's is very much a favorite -- even on Oahu! My husband's daughter lives on Maui and she always brings him some of their cream puffs. Of course he does ask her for them, all the time. He wants those cream puffs and Uncle Louie's Portuguese Sausage. :) Since I'm not one for things with fillings I'll still stick with Leonard's malasadas. I'm so stubborn. :) No, I’m still trying to work on Mom’s house. Sigh. BUT, I will confirm for Joanne that Komoda’s is very much a favorite — even on Oahu!

Did you end up getting a malasada yesterday? @ Joanne - thanks for the Maui bakery recommendation! Sounds like my kinda place. :) @ Evelyn – good to know that Leonard’s Bakery is considered the best from a local resident’s perspective. Did you end up getting a malasada yesterday?

But if you ever get to Maui, try the Komoda Bakery in Makawao, possibly on your way back down from viewing the sunrise at Mt Haleakala. They have some very good malasadas, cream puffs, stick donuts, and they make a pretty good cake, too. I can't wait till I go back and can get some of my newly found favorite foods.:) I unfortunately didn’t get to have any malasadas while on Oahu.

To-die-for malasadas! I've loved them since I was about 7 or 8. Yes, they've been around that long. They used to have a striped lunch wagon that would frequent the Gem's store in Waipahu. I would always beg my mom on the way home. Still love them, there are a lot of copy cats out there but nobody does it like Leonard's. I just like them plain -- without the fillings. They've started to add fillings now but I'm a purest! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I think I need to go to Kapahulu tonight! :) My favorite! To-die-for malasadas!

Many people just call them "Hot Malasadas" because that's how they are almost always served. Mmmmmm... Nothing like a nice, Hot, Malasada. I'm getting hungry again.

Yay! That's pretty funny that you hadn't noticed the savory fillings for the pao-doce. When Andy first moved to the US from the UK, he noticed things that I had never noticed before. Sometimes, it's fascinating to see where we live from different eyes. Aloha Melissa and thanks for your first time comment! Yay!

And I live here in Honolulu! I usually go straight in and order the sweet maladasdas, in some combination of plain & filled, without even looking at anything in the case. Shows to go ya how creatures of habit tend to miss out on things! You know, I never even KNEW about the savory fillings till I read your blog! And I live here in Honolulu!

We moved to the East Coast from Oahu about a year and a half ago and I miss number of things including these tasty treats. If you're on the Windward side and want a malasada, Leonard's has a truck setup in the Windward Mall parking lot on the weekends (they even make them fresh for you). Great way to start the weekend.
