The Ultimate HAWAII SHAVE ICE TOUR: Best of Kauai - 6 Shave Ice Spots│Hawaiian Street Food

Рет қаралды 31,941

Күн бұрын

Aloha 🤙 I’m on a mission to find out “Who has the best Shave Ice on Kauai?.” Before starting this mission, I want to tell you that Shave Ice is Aloha State's most popular treat 😋 Many shave ice shops have many varieties and flavors, added with fillings, fruits, azuki beans, and condensed milk. This is not just a dessert treat, it's Hawaiian street food and a thing to do! You can't go to Hawaii and not have Hawaiian Shave Ice!
As a local boy who grew up in Oahu, Shave Ice is my favorite thing to eat 🍧 (I have a Shave Ice Video on Oahu I want you to check out too). With that being said, I went to visit 6 Shave Ice spots. Which place is the best?
Remember, it's called SHAVE ICE, not SHAVED ICE 😉

I would agree that Wishing Well Shave Ice is delicious, but more expensive than most shops. I am a fan of He Fat's shave ice in Kapaa. I loved Ono's in Kapaa, but they closed :) Can't wait till October when I return to Kauai and get some shave ice.
