MUST HAVE: Best Shave Ice...ever 😋🍧
There are 6 different locations for Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice on the island 🍧 and the closest is in north Kihei.
**Why is it amazing? This cold treat starts with powder fine ice (not chunks of ice!) and the extra toppings like mochi and toasted coconut, ice cream choices, azuki beans as a base and tropical fruit flavored syrups are just so yummy.
