Well, they’re not really Malasadas… they are Buzalasadas (named after the family that owns the restaurant)!

I first had these fried dough goodies on Oahu a couple of months ago. Determined not to be without them until the next time I visit Hawaii, I’ve been on the lookout for a place where I can buy them in Seattle.

Found it.

Kauai Family Restaurant in Georgetown.

But the catch is that they only have them on Saturday mornings.

So Jon and I were off to the restaurant (after we went to the gym, of course), to try the malasadas.

Verdict? Wonderful! While I missed the custard filling we found at Leonard’s in Honolulu, they were hot and fantastic. And only $4 for a bag of 10! Far cheaper than flying across the ocean.

A bag of 10 – covered in sugary, coconuty, yummy.

Hang Ten – me with the bag stamped with Mahalo.
