The History of Malasada in Hawaii
Malasada was brought to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants from Madeira and the Azores in the late 1800s. Originally made to use up lard and sugar before Lent, malasadas became a beloved Hawaiian treat. Today, they're enjoyed year-round and are a must-try for any visitor to Hawaii. At Kona Coffee Donut, we continue this delicious tradition with our fresh, handmade malasadas in the heart of Waikiki.
