Shave Ice Anyone?

February 17th, 2009 by admin

What is Shave Ice? 

This is a favorite in Hawaii and with former Hawaiian resident President Barack Obama. His picture eating this Hawaiian delicacy has been shown all over the world. Similar to Snow Cones found elsewhere, Hawaiian Shave Ice tends to be a bit finer in texture and often comes complete with a scope of ice cream over which are added condensed milk and favored ice shavings.

So where can you get real shave ice on Oahu?  Listed below are arguably the three best places to sample this treat.

1-Matsumoto’s General Store: 60 years at the same location in Historic Haleiwa Town-66-087 Kamehameha Hwy, Haleiwa, Hawaii 96712

2-Island Snow Hawaii: Kailua Beach Center, 130 Kailua Road, Kailua, Hawaii 96734, this is where the President Obama was shot eating his shave ice treat.

3-Waiola Shave Ice: 2135 Waiola Ave, Honolulu Hawaii 96805 (corner of Paani and Waiola)

    Shaved Ice is the best thing and a favourite of my children. We always go to the Big Kahuna shopping plaza in Waikiki for this treat.
