  • Everyone knows Leonard's Hot Malasadas, but is there a better one out there? We had to test to find out - and to our surprise, Leonard's has some competition! We loved trying all these malasadas, and were pleasantly surprised that Leonard's wasn't our favorite of the three! We checked out three malasada shops in Hawaii, two on Big Island and one on Oahu: Leonards, Tex Drive in and Manuela Malasadas . Have you tried malasadas before?
    Correction: Leonard's also has Li Hing Sugar option!

    My favorite dessert is poi mochi. Reminds me of my menehune (my auntie always called us kids her little menehunes) and teen years with my auntie taking me to all the great places all over the island of Oahu in the 70's. Malasadas with Haupia filling is second favorite. Best I had was at grandfathers restaurant in Wahiawa.

    with a name like 'Manuela", you know that's Portuguese...and due to its small operation, it can put in even more quality in its food... Funny thing, though I live on Oahu, people on the Big Island always talk about Tex's (as the rival to Leonard's on Oahu... but never mentioned about Manuela's Malasadas ... they may be somewhat new to the game... Congratulations on reaching 1k subscribers ! Well, it's showing 999 subscribers as of just past midnight Thursday morning 1/13 ! I thought I just saw about 850ish subscribers earlier Wednesday morning, but then your collab with Authentically Charles boosted your subscribers !

    • @TwinsTry
      @TwinsTry  2 года назад +3

      Yes! Thank you!! We were at 950ish for a while! Appreciate you coming from Authentically Charles to watch our collab and support us! Tex is definitely too dense to be comparable to Leonards! We were so pleasantly surprised with Manuelas! The quality was there!

    I like it more dense!

  • @dustindeniz
    @dustindeniz Год назад +1

    Tex used to be good back in the day before they sold the restaurant and the new owners changed the recipe!
    Also not a fan of Leonard's, growing up on the Big Island with a Portuguese family I know what really good malasadas taste like!
    Champions on Oahu used to be my favorite before the owner retired, now it would be Penny's on Oahu and Manuela on the Big Island

    • @TwinsTry
      @TwinsTry  Год назад

      Manuela was so good :) We gotta try Penny's next time we're in Oahu!

  • @TimEatsandTravels

    Hawaiian malasadas looks like the donuts we have here in CA. Tim Hortons donuts filled with cream, etc. There's also one here in Ham. Grand dad's donuts that make the same donuts.

      It definitely could have been more eggy! I hear that the non filled ones are better! Is that true?

      I love Leonard's but I prefer "Agnes Bakery" Malasadas just a little more. The old owner sold still helps out the new owner. They sell them out of a Food Truck in Kailua Oahu next to Manuhealii store.
