Leonard's Bakery in Wamalu Shuts Down
For all my locals of Oahu... I don't know if you know by now that the Leonard's Bakery in Waimalu has shut down. :( I LOVED this place. But mostly because it was so near and convenient to where I live. Oh well. There is a Malasada Mobile at the shopping mall over in the next city, not too far from here. The Hubs don't like these sugary donuts. He don't like the smell, taste or the look of it. I on the other hand hold on to cherished memories of it. As a young 4 year old lil' girl, my grand-uncle would take me to get a malasada and chocolate milk every Saturday morning that I would sleep over their house. My grand-uncle didn't live pass my 7th birthday, and he was the closest uncle I had, and one that was always full of love, energy and happiness, even when he was drunk. So no matter how far this place is, I will always find a way to get me some, just so I can sink my teeth into them, and capture a piece of my memory, even if it is just a "feeling".

memories...I feel for you but at least there is a mobile close by! My grandfather was the same way and we would go buy 'junk food' and eat it on the way to some function. Reece too had drinking issues and when people talked of him I thought they must have had him mixed up with someone else cause my Pa wasn't like that. I learned to drive at 10 cause he thought it was safer I drive then he did cause he was so drunk...funny days. Everything around my town that pointed to my Pa is gone now but the memories live on! Thanks for sharing. Vickie
ReplyDeleteHow sad. At least the one near Waikiki is not closing down. My family and I would be extremely upset if we could not sink our mouths into one of Leonard's malasadas when we visit. I can taste them already. :)
