text: OOOHHHH Tropical Snow I had such high hopes for you, yet i was very let down!.  After spending over a week in Kauai and eating more shave ice (not shaved ice) than is humanly possible, i know what good and great shave ice should taste like.  The ice should be as fine as snow  and melt effortlessly the second it hits the tongue. Not crunchy and chewable like a sno cone. Its should be dense enough to hold up to the flavoring and not implode the second it is handed to you because it wasn't packed well. \n\nThe flavors should be pleasantly sweet and somewhat natural.  You should be able to identify what flavors were actually added to the shave ice. The flavors here were sickly sweet, with artificial sweet being all you could taste.  The cream topping should subtly enhance  the overall flavor with a hint of coconut not drown it in a sea of sugar (If it was coconut cream its news to me, but the sign only said cream topping).\n\nGreat shave ice makes you crave a second one, bad shave ice gets thrown away!\n\nNeither me or my hubby liked this place at all and we specifically searched this place out so we have a little taste of Kauai again.  The entire trip home (all 19 miles of it) all we could talk about was how horrible this shave ice was and that we need to open up our own shave ice company.
