Hawaii anyone? - Page 5

I'm a malasada snob, too. Leonard's used to be good but now they put too much air in their malasadas...
I like my malasadas homemade. My grandmother and mom make great malasadas.
Yeah, that Ala Moana food court malasada stand is... yuck!

And that's one of my favorite Portuguese jokes. Hysterical.

I have no idea what you're talking about but I want one.

Manapua is a large steam bun like what you can find in any Chinatown though the filling tends to be different (but you can get standards like char siu). Generally there will not be a quail egg as in most Chinese steam buns (and what a suprise that was sinced I had my first steam bun after leaving Hawaii and thinking "hey, looks lilke a smaller manapua").

Malasadas are a Portuguese doughnut (Food Network visited Leonard's in a show we saw the other day and called them "Hawaiian doughnuts"; Lani and I simultaneously shouted out "they're Portuguese!") with no hole.

Manapua (from a Hawaii fast food chain called Zippy's; not so very good in my opinion):

Malasadas (from the famous Leonard's):

Mmmm....manapua.....Mmmmm

Gemini Cricket · 06-27-2006, 09:34 AM

Holy moley! I'm starving now!

Just remember to not eat the paper on the bottom. Though if you forget and are eating the manapua while it is still steamy fresh you may not notice anyway.

I sit and wonder how many papers Alex consumed prior to his discovery.

Prudence · 06-27-2006, 09:54 AM

I still want one. Maybe two. I'm right on campus - old administration building - can't miss it. I take lunch around 11:30. Just hoot from red square when you get here.

I'll have you know that I ate no paper before discovering they were there. But I will admit to the occasional paper-laden bite after the discovery from not paying attention.

Prudence, if you're willing to drive a bit I am told you can get manapua at Uwajimaya Village. But I don't now if they're worth that drive and getting humbao on the Ave would be a fair approximation (though not quite the same).

And I dont know what the weather up there is actually like, but down here it has me in the mood to sit on the steps in front of Kane Hall, reading a book with some intellectual heft, while watching frisbee, hackysack, pretty girls, and crazy preachers.
