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):
