Recommended to be eaten right away for best tasting deliciousness of these Malasadas. Service: Stopped by on a Saturday morning, there was no line, just one other customer ahead of me.

It was a Thursday afternoon, and we mingled with the intrepid tourists who drove to Central O'ahu. This malasadamobile is permanently parked in food truck row. You can see it from the freeway. You can see Laverne's, the malasasamobile, Mountain Shave Ice, Thong's Thai, Taste Tea, Dick's Lechon, and ... the blood bank mobile. The truck ladies had to be sweltering but they were still nice. And it's always a happy atmosphere when you're about to get a box full of deep-fried, sugar rolled doughnuts. I stuck with the classic sugar but we also got some cinnamon sugar and stuffed (dobash and haupia) to share.

We got onion hopia, guava manju, loaf of bread and hot dog. I really liked the hopia. It was a thin layer of bread and the hopia filling was stuffed. I liked that it was bite-sized. The guava manju was good too. It was moist and the breading was thin which is nice. Service was good. Prices were ok. Very, small bakeshop.

Even if I hadn't tasted them side by side, I would have been so disappointed if I had bought this one on its own. $21 and it is mostly chocolate. The chocolate on the top and bottom is very thick and sweet. The filling is the worst. The kadaifi/kunefeh wasn't crispy like the bars that I had it was only slightly crispy. The major problem was that there was barely any pistachio spread. It was so DRY. Very stingy with the filling and spread. Not worth your time or money. I see that a lot of vendors were capitalizing off this viral food trend but don't do it if you can't do it right.

A great breakfast or snack any time of the day. I also ended up getting more Ube pastries. The tutti frutti cinnamon roll for my kids bc I knew they would L.O.V.E. the rainbow fruity pebbles. The cream on top wasn't too sweet n' very light in texture, sorta like a whipped cream. The ensaymada was savory in flavor. The croissant was really good, had an almond paste inside n' on top.

I inhaled the ube pandesal but that ule Bulilit bread? MY KRYPTONITE! The ube jam had my skirt flipping. Ube pandesal is a popular Filipino purple yam bread roll, characterized by its soft, fluffy texture, vibrant purple color, and often filled with cheese and ube halaya (purple yam jam). It is made with flour, yeast, sugar, ube powder/extract, and milk, then coated in breadcrumbs and baked. I learned that ube Bulilit bread is a popular Filipino bite-sized, soft bread filled with sweet, purple yam (ube) jam, most commonly sold by Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop. These small, chewy, golden buns are known for their vibrant purple filling and are often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. They offer a subtle, creamy sweetness and are a staple in Filipino bakeries, particularly in Hawaii. This place is not safe. Had I been the one to enter this establishment, I would leave lighter in the wallet and definitely heavier in weight!

Chocolate covered chocolate chip cookie 3/5 6. Lilikoi bar 10/5 My cupcake 4 pack was kinda a mixed bag. I'm wondering if that comes down to personal preferences more than anything else. About $17 for the 4 pack though so I can honestly only recommend banana chantilly and German chocolate so far. I would skip the cookie because they have so many other options but I'm relieved I only bought one and not the whole bag. Finally I have to say the Lilikoi bar was delicious. One of the best I've ever had. Totally worth the price and would absolutely purchase again. Shop is cute and clean. Next on my list Mac nut brownies!!
