Aloha Mar!

We greatly appreciate the loyal business from the our local families. A great reason for our big crowds is because the local families share us with their families on the mainland who also share us with more families and friends on the mainland or even other countries!
More business keeps Liliha Bakery alive and we hope to share this aloha spirit with everyone who wants to know more about us or become a regular. We are thankful for our local customers as well as new customers.

I hope this does not discourage you to come to visit Liliha Bakery. We would love to have you be a part of Liliha Bakery and hope you share us with your family and friends.

Best,

Shanae
Liliha Bakery Office Assistant

Shan – I very much doubt that you can mail coco puffs. I talked to a person from Liliha about shipping them and they said it would probably end up costing around $60 to ship them. I assume it would have to be overnight shipping in a cooler with some sort of long lasting ice.

Now, would they survive a plane ride to LA? That’s probably more likely. I suggest you contact the folks at Liliha and ask them for their advice.

Can you mail the coco puffs to california or will it last a 5 1/2 hr plane ride to la?

Thank you very much for all the great info. I found it to be a great way to get to know the island before I visit. Mahalo

Noelle – hehe…might be worth a try.

By the way, there’s not many “bad view” rooms at Turtle Bay Resort. It’s a great resort. Enjoy!

I wonder if a box given to our attendant could get us a room uprade at either the Turtle Bay or Outrigger Reef…. Hmmm….. (We’re going at the end of April 2010)
Thanks for all of the insights!

rossini – that’s a good question. I would assume and guess that you would be able to bring them to the mainland. I can’t think of anything about the coco puffs that would prevent them from passing the agricultural inspection. http://www.govisithawaii.com/2009/07/16/be-prepared-for-agricultural-inspection-in-hawaiis-airports/

Would you mind delivering a box to me in North Carolina?

Oh Aja – I am so happy to get your comment and to hear you loved the coco puffs! I’m glad to hear that you liked them so much that the $50 cab ride was worth it. They really, really are so delicious! What else did you enjoy sampling on Oahu?

All I can say is WOW – stumbled across this post before going to spend a week in Oahu and it was more than worth the $50 round trip cab ride from Waikiki just to taste one of those amazing coco puffs!! Of course, I couldn’t just stop at one and after buying a box to go I was left licking the wrappers after the last one was eaten. Thank you so much for this recommendation!!

@Christian – for me, without question, the coco puff is clear winner.

Which is better, a Leonard’s Bakery cream-filled Malasada or a Coco Puff. Either way, it’s not good news for my diet.

Not all andagi is good IMHO. My favorite is the one at the annual Okinawan festival in Kapiolani Park–I believe it’s Labor Day weekend. Put that on your list for your next visit, and remind me! I’ll take you to get some andagi!

….hmmmm…..maybe we can do something that explores the cultural foods of Hawaii like that. I promise not to make them bizarre foods!

@ David Zuls – well not scolded per se. I wouldn’t doubt if she may have snickered, though. Going to Liliha without getting a coco puff is like going to Krispy Kreme and not getting a doughnut. :0)

I haven’t tried an Okinawan Andagi. Dang! Where does it end with tasty food in Hawaii? Will I ever eat my way through every island specialty? *sigh* I’m up for the challenge.

You got scolded by Evelyn? Too funny!

No! – You got it wrong – Go back there and do it again! This time, don’t forget the coco puffs.

But yeah… Those things are awesome. Folks who show up at work with a box of Coco Puffs get a lot of extra bonus points.

I don’t know which I enjoy more. Hot Malasadas or Ice cold Coco Puffs?

BTW – Have you ever had an Okinawan Andagi? It is fried like a donut and brown and crispy on the outside and cakey on the inside, not fluffy like a malasada. (Also served hot.) Yummy!

@ Melissa – chantilly frosting….so that’s what the topping is called. I’ve just been researching and came across this recipe for chantilly frosting.

I e-mailed the link to my parents so that we can try to make it the next time I visit them.

@ Andrew – excellent! Let me know what you think of Liliha Bakery. Enjoy!
