On the pretext of driving to Hilo to see the sites we headed south on the eastern (wet) side of the island past the famous TEX DRIVE IN - we've been there before and we knew what we were doing and where we were going but wouldn't admit it. You see, the calories don't count if you don't talk about it, right? TEX, the home of the famous Big Island: Malasada.
- Malasada (n) : a puffy filled donut without a hole that is deep-fried, rolled in sugar and best eaten while hot. Malasadas are a Portuguese snack introduced by workers imported for cane and pineapple production.
As we drove by - we decided we'd just drop in for one. And we were good - just had one. I had a Strawberry-Guava and Sue had a Chocolate. Boy, they're so bad for you - but so good. Well, we did head down to Hilo and we did catch the sites so I'll never have to admit we did it for the malasadas.[if you want to send me an e-mail, click here ]
