HONOLULU (KHON2) — Mala-Be, a combination of Middle Eastern and Hawaiian flavors, is a delight that will satisfy your taste buds.
Owner Jonathan Cohen explained the original product is from the Middle East and is usually made with dairy.
At Mala-Be, Cohen said all products are coconut-based, gluten-free and vegan.
The best seller is the coconut-based Malabe, which has pistachio, rose water and shredded coconut.
They also offer chocolate and chocolate-coconut flavors.
Rose water is a big part of the Middle Eastern diet as it is used as a drink with mint or as a syrup.
You can find Malabe products at the Kailua Farmers Market, Down to Earth on King Street and Pearlridge and Banzai Sushi Bar.
