BAKERIES
Agnes' Portuguese Bake Shop
Though Hawai'i's Portuguese
population is large, it's up to one
place — Agnes' Portuguese Bake
Shop — to represent for Portuguese
cuisine. Agnes' is the only place to
find Portuguese-style baked goods,
and though it's one of many bakeries
that serves up piping hot
malassadas (balls of deep-fried
dough dusted with sugar; the name
of these holeless doughnuts translates
to something like "half-cooked,"
for the confection's slight chewiness),
many argue that
Agnes' ultra-dense version are the
most authentic of the bunch. They
also sell Portuguese bean soup
and vinha d'alhos (pickled pork,
a favored celebration food) to sell
around the holidays. As suits the
Portuguese worldview, the place is
sparkling clean, and the coffee is
good.
