...Hawaiian Shaved Ice.

There are "Shaved Ice" stands all around my parts, but they are really just snow cones.

Snow cones bite.

Shaved Ice is da' kine.

I bought Priscilla THIS home shaved ice machine for her birthday, and it's OK, but it's just not the same.

Hope you all appreciate having a good, real Shaved Ice any time you want it.

I've only had shave ice once in the last 3 years. Not a fan.

You need to go to Matsumoto's in Haliewa for the best shave ice on Oahu (and maybe in HI).

I miss shave ice on Maui - that and good Manapua are hard to come by it seems

There's a pretty good shave ice truck in Kaneohe during the summer - parks at the YWCA parking lot. I think the name is "Dot's" - he makes good shave ice. My favorite is the Lilikoi/lichee mix. So refreshing on a hot day.

Not a big Shaved Ice fan, used to date of the girls there got it for free. Now Manapua is worth waiting in line for. Libby's down by sand island has the best freaking Manapua in the world.

Manapua is a steamed roll with sweet meat (usually charsui) inside.

Libby's used to be my favorite (they still have the best pork hash I think) but I started going across the street to the Noodle Factory (When Libby's was closed for renovations a few years ago) - I really like their baked manapua.

Since I have not been able to find good manapua on Maui (it all seems to get shipped over from Oahu, which means it's not fresh) So when I'm hungry for it I just make it myself, but I can't get it to taste as good as Libby's or Noodle Factory
