For locals, shave ice (again, “shave” not “shaved”) is an ever-present affair. Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice serves the version everyone falls in love with. The components - the syrup and the ice - are produced in-house. Made with real fruits, the syrups give the shave a delicious taste. The menu offers such Maui-inspired selections as No Ka Oi (coconut, mango and lilikoi), Kaanapali (grape, lime and cherry), and Lahaina (pineapple, coconut and banana). The epic Haleakala, though, may just be its most gourmet and refreshing, featuring coconut and leche topped with sweetened condensed cream. This hand-crafted, perfectly shaped ice topped with syrups might take a little longer to make, but it is worth the wait to savor the lightest, softest shave in the islands.
