On the flight to Maui, Jon and Sarah saw an article in the Hawaiian Airlines magazine about a place called Frost City in Honolulu. They have a new kind of shave ice that is mixed with ice cream.
We've been wanting to try this place and with only two more full days left before Jon and Sarah's departure, it was our last chance. We arrived at 12:15 and discovered that the place does not open until 12:30.
The friendly owner arrived at 12:20 and the doors opened promptly. People started arriving immediately!
The prices weren't cheap, but that didn't deter all the excited customers.
The small dish cost $4.75.
The regular was $6.00.
Everybody bought a small dish. I bought the ummmm... large.
Jon chose a haupia (coconut), mango, pomelo snow ice.
Sarah ordered a strawberry.
I had a chocolate because they had already run out of watermelon which I really wanted.
No problem!
The chocolate was fabulous! It was like eating light, feathery, icy, tasty ice cream. It's hard to describe, but it was excellent. I did share my large dish with everybody.
Art had haupia which he liked fine even though he had been hoping for the watermelon also.
By the time we left, the place was packed.
On we went to our next adventure in Waikiki.
Think hamster!

Mmm, they look like works of art, delicious works of art!
ReplyDeleteThey aren't cheap, but they aren't small, either. Beautiful! Love that picture of Sarah. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look very more-ish:-)
ReplyDeleteYour family finds so many ways to be happy together.
ReplyDeleteWow, incredible! David and I will try this on Sunday, weather permitting! Mahalo for the tip.
ReplyDeletethat does look good...
ReplyDeleteLooks like the presentation of a professional chef!
ReplyDeleteI'd heard of people adding cream to their shave ice.
Are pomelos the little yellow and orange round things? (We've only got corn in Kansas.)
You got there at the right time!

It looks very tasty. I love ice cream and snow cones which is what we call sweetened ice in the East of the U.S. Is it like sorbet or sherbet?
ReplyDeleteyummo! looks so good, my friend inJapan shows photos of green desert like this all the time, looks so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteHamster??? I can't wait to find out what thats about.
Isn't it odd how we seldom see all the neat places to visit till we have out of town company.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was just an icy but that looks delicious.
great post Kay, what can I say? Yum.
ReplyDeleteDear Kay,
ReplyDeleteI think that I could just dive into that wonderful stuff!
Thanks for sharing this, you are just giving me more reasons to go to Hawaii.
Aloha! :-)
Wow!!! First the flowers then the new shaved ice. That looks like it would taste heavenly.
