The quality of shave ice in Hawaii

... is incredible.

And I strongly feel that Ululani's is the best on Maui (if not in the entire Hawaiian island chain). It's run by the nicest, friendliest couple named Ululani & David and they are so dedicated to making the most high quality shave ice you've ever seen. Ululani makes all of the syrups by hand, from real fruit and Hawaiian cane sugar (none of the corn syrup junk) and it truly truly makes all the difference in the world. The shave ices taste amazing!!



My lilikoi & tropical punch shave ice, with macademia nut ice cream.

The mac nut ice cream was also Hawaiian made, really high quality ice cream. It tasted home made.

Can you also tell from the picture how FINE the ice shavings are? This was not little chunks of ice like you see in American snow cones, even finer than what you get from an Asian cafe. The ice was so fine it scooped up like soft sorbet and had the smoothest texture in your mouth - the natural fruit syrups + perfectly shaved ice = heavenly dessert. I am a huge fan.

See the mac nut ice cream at the bottom?


William's shave ice, coconut and something else + condensed milk cream on the top!


More to come on deliciousness from Hawaii!
