Take your number and browse the pastry case at Liliha Bakery in Honolulu. You'll see exotic pastries that you're not likely to find at home -- azuki bean turnover, anyone? -- as well as bakery staples like cupcakes.

Not pictured here are malasadas, a Portuguese donut. These are super-rich donuts, traditionally made the Tuesday before Lent, also known as Mardi Gras, to use up lard and sugar. (Mardi Gras is called Malasada Day in Hawaii.)

  • Liliha Bakery's Address:515 N. Kuakini Street, Honolulu.
  • Note: Closed Mondays.
  • Leonard's is another favorite bakery for malasadas in Honolulu -- and they're open on Mondays. 933 Kapahulu Ave., Honolulu
