Penny’s Malasada, which gained traction among locals since 2018, as a food truck operating in Laie on Oahu , now has a brick-and-mortar space in the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki. In addition to the regular malasadas coated in either Hawaiian sugar or cinnamon sugar, there are ones stuffed with creamy ube, coconut, peach, or Nutella fillings.
