Malasada Day in Hawai'i Nei!

In Hawaii, Mardi Gras is Malasada Day

Next Tuesday is Fat Tuesday also known as Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday – the indulgent celebration before the Lenten season begins.

In Hawaii, Mardi Gras is also known as Malasada Day, a nod to the culinary indulgences typically experienced on that day.

Malasadas in Hawaii

Malasadas have a long history in Hawaii extending from the time they were brought over by Portuguese laborers working on sugar plantations. Like many dishes shared between workers from different countries, malasadas have grown into local Hawaii favorite.
