Yes, it’s got a weird name.<\/p>\n

In addition, Dough Dough’s Hawaiian Cafe & Malasadas is in a weird location. The new restaurant is attached to the Gambler’s General Store in downtown Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\"Dough
At first glance, you might think, “That’s a thing?” You think wrong.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Weird location,” however, isn’t a deterrent when a restaurant serves one of the best desserts we’ve ever had in Las Vegas. And trust us when we say we’ve had a lot of desserts in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Prepare yourself for the Dough Dough’s malasada.<\/p>\n

\"Dough
That sound you hear it Heaven opening its gates as a choir of angels sings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dough Dough’s Hawaiian Cafe replaces the former sandwich shop, Gambler’s Cafe.<\/p>\n

The cafe has a full menu, including an excellent “plate lunch” that will be familiar to those familiar with Hawaiian fare.<\/p>\n

This blog personally lived in Hawaii for a decade, and we can attest the plate lunch at this modest eatery is one of the best we’ve had in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\"Dough
Teriyaki chicken, check. Two scoop (sic, it’s a Hawaii thing) rice, check. Macaroni salad, check.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The menu also features salads, burgers and sandwiches.<\/p>\n

\"Dough
This is the Cliffs Notes version. Find the full menu on the Dough Dough’s Facebook page<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Pete Kalua Burger is a hamburger with (wait for it) kalua pork on top.<\/p>\n

\"Dough
“Kalua” means “to cook in an underground oven.” You’d know this if you were a cook in Hawaii, which, we’re pretty sure, is considered a Pacific Rim job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Undeniably, though, the malasadas are the star of the show at the Hawaiian Cafe.<\/p>\n

You know they take malasadas, basically fried dough smothered in sugar, seriously here because there’s an entire menu devoted to this Hawaiian treat.<\/p>\n

The malasadas come three ways, as we all wish we did, as either Big, Mini or Bites. They’re all amazing, satisfying and utterly addictive.<\/p>\n

The large malasas come with an extensive selection of fillings, including cherry, raspberry, strawberry, apple, guava, pineapple, vanilla, chocolate, coconut cream, lemon, blueberry, cream cheese, apricot and mango.<\/p>\n

If you insist upon a filling, just save yourself some time and do the lemon.<\/p>\n

\"Dough
These malasadas will change your life for the better. Or, at the very least, for the wider.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The malasadas also come in “Local Favorite Combinations” like “Lemon Drop,” “Strawberries and Cream,” “Apple Pie,” “Pina Colada” and others.<\/p>\n

We are a malasada purist (shocker), so we prefer Mini Malasadas (six medium-sized malasadas) or Malasada Bites (a dozen donut hole-sized malasadas).<\/p>\n

\"Dough
“Malasada” means “under-cooked” in Portugese. The malasadas at Dough Dough’s, however, are fried to perfection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The minis and bites are rolled in a choice of sugar, including plain, pure cane, powdered or cinnamon.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the malasadas at Dough Dough’s, your expandable waistband may just have met its match.<\/p>\n

\"Dough
No reservation needed, at least until word gets out. Consider it out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Despite the restaurant’s challenging location, these sugar-coated delights are an absolute Las Vegas must-try.<\/p>\n

While you’re there, wander through the Gambler’s General Store. It’s a great place to get gambling-related merchandise and possibly to put a $2,800 craps table on layaway because you seriously need to get this blog a Christmas present.<\/p>\n

Dough Dough’s Hawaiian Cafe & Malasadas is located at 800 Main Street, and has limited hours at the moment, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
