In the lazy afternoons of my childhood, I could hear in the distance, ``want sweets???, Hawaiian sweets!’’ Perhaps a middle-aged or old hawker would come calling with round pinkish-white Hawaiian sweets in tin boxes (surrounded by clear glass walls). would have been It was like a piece of a dream. Old plastic, glass bottles, ironware or a few pieces of Hawaiian sweets could be obtained for a buck. A dreamy touch of a wonderful sweet taste disappeared in an instant when it was put in the mouth.That’s why it’s called Hawaii Mithai.The attraction of seeing it is no less than eating Hawaiian sweets. Fluffy and pinkish-white in color, Peja is a traditional Hawaiian dessert that looks very attractive. With the passage of time, today that small round hawaii has blossomed into a sweet shape and has grown quite big. Twisted into sticks and wrapped in polythene are now available everywhere.Keep this tradition of traditional Bengali sweets alive as bright as your childhood.
