Mainlanders call them snow cones, but in Hawaii the coolest treat around is shave ice. It is not shaved ice, rather just shave ice !
For those taking a drive around the islands, or trying to cool off after a day on the beach, nothing hits the spot like shave ice.
It is snow! No, it is a drink, and you can eat it with a spoon straw!
