Malasada

Do you know "malasada"?
This is like a fried-doughnut.
Malasasa is one of my favorite sweets:)


What's Malasada?

Malasada used to be one of the home cooking sweets in Portugal. "Malasada" means "sketchy" "awkward" in potuguese.
Long time ago, The Portuguese laborers immigrated to Hawaii to work for plantation and they brought their traditional food cultures to the place where they worked in Hawaii. They were Catholic and they had to use up lard or suger before Lent. Then they made "malasada" using lard or suger and served them for other laborers from different races. This is the way "malasada" spread out in Hawaii. Now, "malasada" is one of the standard Hawaiian sweets.



Today, I introduce a Hawaiian cafe where you can eat "malasada" in Tokyo.

Hawaiian cafe naninani


This cafe is located in Toyosu, near Lalaport Toyosu.
In this cafe, you can take out some Malasada, coffee, Spam-musubi or you can eat there listening to Hawaiian music.

Menu: Malasada Donuts (suger, cinnamon, soybean flour)
Malasada Ice Sand (caramel, chocolate)
Spam-musubi
some coffee and juice

I strongly reccomend this Malasada Ice sand!!!!!

If you taste Malasada once, you would be addicted to Malasada!
