Please Don’t Eat Yellow Snow

April 27, 2012 by The Mouse

But green is okay. My first time trying “snow ice” . I think it’s ice that’s been flavored with mild powder, as compared with “shave ice” (plain ice that syrup is poured over. There’s a “Snow Factory” in our neighborhood (Windward City Shopping Center, Kaneohe, Hawaii). Here’s their website: http://www.snowfactoryhawaii.com/snowfactoryhawaii.com/Home.html.

Instead of trying to choose a flavor and toppings, I went with one of their “combos”.

Number 22

Green tea flavored snow ice, adzuki beans, mochi balls, and condensed milk.

I was expecting the “snow” to come out in “ribbons” like the picture, but I ended up with more of a lump.

Number 22, Actual

Interesting. The shave is much finer than “shave ice”. The texture is a lot smoother. Over all, not bad. The socks stayed firmly on (well, in this case, da slippahs). 😉

The shop has a variety of “sprinkles” on the counter that is help yourself (I remember Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, cereal, peanuts, almonds, and M&Ms), a definite plus. I tried a little of the Oreos.

One of the “combos” is a mocha “snow” and coffee jelly concoction that I want to try next time.

Enjoy. Eat well.

My father used to make ice cream from real snow! Take clean white snow (NOT YELLOW!), add eggs, vanilla, and a little milk. I love green tea ice cream, and this looks just as good.

I have yet to try the snow. I naturally don’t eat a lot, especially sweet things. I tend to have a salt tooth, then a sweet tooth. I still want to try it, tho. Maybe one day.

BTW, did you go to Eat the Street tonight? It was bacon theme. There was even SPAM popsicle. I thought that was interesting. LOL

  Nope. I don’t eat well in crowded areas, especially while standing up. I guess I haven’t mastered multi-tasking yet. 🙂
