Visit Big Island: TEX Drive In

While on the Big Island with Anna, we drove through Honoka`a, and passed by TEX Drive In.  I only know of the place because Nadia had posted she drove an hour from Hilo to try their malasadas.

I'm not a fan of malasadas, so I had no desire to stop at TEX.  However, on our way back to Kona, the Saddle Road was shut down due to an accident, so we found our way back through Honoka`a.  We stopped at TEX Drive In simply to use the restroom, but I couldn't leave without getting a malasada.

The creme-filled malasadas come in a variety of flavors, and I opted for the Haupia.

Even though I'm not a fan of malasadas, I devoured this in minutes.  I thought it was really yummy, and not overly sugary.  I enjoyed the haupia filling!
