More shave ice for Hawaii�s hot summer weather. But no matter how hot it gets, Hawaii type �hot� will always be more welcome than mainland �hot�, cause we got tradewinds!

After breakfast at Cinnamon�s and an afternoon at the beach, we headed over to Island Snow on the way back into town. I guess everyone else had the same idea cause boy, was it packed in there!

For $2.50 we each had a �to-go� sized cup, with a choice of up to three flavors and a scoop of ice cream hidden in the bottom. The ice here is noticeably coarser than Waiola�s and Ice Garden, but after you beach, there�s nothing more welcome than shave ice, ground coarse or fine. I chose lilikoi, lychee and li hing mui for my three flavors (bottom left), a great combo if I do say! The li hing mui was so strong that it overtook the lychee and lilikoi. About three scoops/sips/bites into my shave ice, that lovely sweet-sour flavor was all I could taste. I suppose it was all for the better�li hing mui was my favorite of the three!
