We were really disappointed to have to cancel our trip to Kauaʻi this week because of the…read moredestruction caused by Hurricane Lowell last week. Our hearts go out to the kamaʻāina who lost their homes, businesses, or jobs, and to everyone still dealing with the aftermath. While I understand power has now been restored to roughly 85-90% of the island, many people are still without power, and there are plenty of repairs and rebuilding ahead. Since we couldn't bring ourselves to Kauaʻi, we decided to bring a little aloha home instead! We started with a delicious dinner from L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. Then I called Aloha Spirit Shave Ice, and they were kind enough to make a house call. Nate from Aloha Spirit showed up with his equipment in the back of his pickup, and before long, we--and several of our neighbors--were enjoying some delicious Hawaiian-style shave ice. It wasn't quite the same as being on Kauaʻi, but it was a pretty good consolation prize!

I have been to Hawaii a few times and I always get shaved ice. It's good, however, Aloha Spirit, is my ultimate favorite! I wish I could have it everyday! Aloha Spirit adds the perfect amount of delicious syrup on shaved ice that literally melts in your mouth. Plus, they have many unique flavors to choose from! They are an amazing and wholesome family that shows their pride in every bowl of shaved ice!

We've been back about half a dozen times in the past month, which says everything. The flavors are delicious and nostalgic. The Big Daddy reminds me of eating a Big Stick ice cream as a kid, and Da Bomb tastes just like a Bomb Pop. They have tons of Italian ice flavors to choose from, plus creamy vanilla and chocolate custard that takes everything over the top. On our first visit, Angelica was amazing. She was so friendly, let us sample several flavors, and even shared some of her personal favorites. That kind of service makes you want to come back. It's a small spot with limited outdoor seating, but honestly, it's just as good sitting in your car enjoying your treat. They also have a stamp card and even offer catering. My only complaint? They close at 9 PM. I'd gladly support this place even later into the night. Do yourself a favor and check out Mustache Mike's... but maybe only tell your close friends.

I had the burger with the fried egg, and it was cooked perfectly. Juicy, flavorful, great bun, melted cheese, egg on top -- exactly how a burger like this should come out. But the kimchi fried rice deserves its own moment. SO GOOD. Perfect amount of spice and flavor without overpowering everything else. It's the kind of side dish you order thinking everyone can share and then immediately start regretting that decision because you don't actually want to share anymore. Everything tasted fresh and made with care, the portions were great, and it had that relaxed little neighborhood-spot feeling that makes you want to come back. At this point I'm realizing Donnie going away to college has basically turned into him scouting restaurants for us.

I sampled the Sugar-Free Mango Peach, but unfortunately, the flavor was a bit lacking for me. Easy parking lot with plenty of space.

The interior was clean and had a good amount of seating, although it seemed like most people were grabbing their desserts to go. I noticed more people enjoying their treats outside instead. The plaza was also pretty spacious, so we had no trouble finding a parking spot.

The sticky rice aka the medium grain rice consumed mostly by the Korean and the Japnese does not do well in the burritos. Their shrimp burger is so tasty that you start craving again after eating one. I can't imagine a shrimp patty made of rather shrimp paste as mentioned by someone who left a one star review. Looks like someone is so used to dining at the Dimsum restaurants. Lotteria does not have to be a Dimsum burger joint.
