Missing Malasadas...
Malasadas @ Leonard’s Malasadamobile Wagon in Waipahu, Hawai’i
Now that I am back in Boston, there are no bakeries with malasadas for miles and miles… It is a complete heartbreak. However, I am determined (and very excited) to make some with the recipe I found on allrecipes! I thought about it so much this morning that I had to go to Dunkin’ Donuts across the street to grab a donut just to hold off my craving until then. Sadly, the chocolate frosted donut couldn’t even compare, but looking forward to making malasadas soon!
Laulau: Traditional Hawaiian Taro Tamale
Laulau is a traditional Hawaiian dish - it consists of pork and butterfish wrapped in taro leaves, then wrapped in ti leaves and steamed. It reminded me of an Asian tamale, but without the rice. Instead, you eat it with rice on the side. I didn’t know what butterfish was (apparently it’s some type of cod?) and had a bite of the pork fat mistakenly, haha. I’m on the fence on laulau, but definitely very interesting and worth a try.
