In June 1882 the British sailing ship 'Monarch' brought Arsenio and Amelia DoRego from San Miguel Island, Portugal to Maui, Hawai’i under contract to work the sugar cane fields. Some 33 years later, their grandson Leonard was born. In 1946 Leonard and his wife Margaret moved to Honolulu with their daughter Diane, age 8. Leonard worked at Snowflake Bakery until he founded Leonard's Bakery in 1952. It is here their famous Malasadas our produced. 
A malasada is sort of like a doughnut without the hole. Fried in generously-sized balls of dough until the crust is golden brown with a light and fluffy inside. The malasada has a sweet toasted flavor, both crunchy and chewy. Well, yummy is my only description!
