欧胡岛上有一家网红面包店,经常门口要排长长的队伍,主要卖的是一种malasadas,姑且翻译成“夏威夷甜甜圈”吧,这家店叫作Leonard's Bakery。
1882年一对夫妻从葡萄牙乘船来到茂宜岛,在甘蔗地里面工作,33年后他们的孙子Leonard伦纳德出生了。伦纳德在1946年的时候和妻子、女儿一起搬到檀香山,一直在一家面包店工作,直到在1952年开了这家Leonard's Bakery(“伦纳德的面包店”)。
官网上的故事是这样的:
Our Story
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.
Leonard and Margaret were no strangers to hard work, both coming from very large families. The bakery prospered. Not long after opening, Leonard's mother suggested making malasadas for Shrove Tuesday – a Portuguese tradition. Although thinking it may be too ethnic, Leonard's bakers complied. Malasadas were a huge hit. And, the appetite for malasadas in Hawaii was born.
Leonard's Bakery的店面风格特别有上个世纪美国的风格,大大的灯光招牌立在马路边,上面有箭头的形状指向店面,店面的门口就是给客人停车的地方。
店里面摆满了各类糕点,你需要到柜台点餐,然后在门后等叫号领取。
众多点心中,最出名的就是这款malasadas(“夏威夷甜甜圈”)了,网上的解释是“没有洞的葡萄牙风格的甜甜圈”。Doughnut甜甜圈可以说是美国人最喜欢的甜点之一了,正常的Doughnut是长这样的:

而夏威夷甜甜圈是长这个样子的:
说实话,吃起来口感非常像普通的甜甜圈。我个人认为甜甜圈是极不健康的食品,平时我向来是避而远之,为了猎奇才会来尝试夏威夷甜甜圈,咬下一口非常松软,吃上一口可以从嘴里甜到心里,和夏威夷的夏天非常的般配,只是这股甜到发腻的味道,可想里面放了多少糖。所以,建议最好买一个,两个人分,这样子既可以品尝到美味,又不会有太大的罪恶感。
吃完了甜点是不是该吃正餐了?接下来带大家尝试一家本地人很喜欢的街边美食店,敬请期待。
