Neither of us had ever had shave ice before. I'm really glad we tried it whilst we were away. At Breakwall we were able to watch as a fairly large block of ice was put into a machine and turned into something delicious.
I think we got a large sized one as we intended on sharing, and it really was large - I'm glad we didn't get the 'massive' size, I can only imagine how big that would have been. Ours was around the size of my head (take that as you will). I'm afraid these photos don't seem to capture quite how big it was - the shaved ice, that is!
Once the ice is shaved, flavoured syrups are then poured over the top. We had pineapple, watermelon and mango. I didn't think we would manage to eat the whole lot but we did. I also I didn't think the syrup would make it to the bottom of the cup but it did so it was delicious all the way to the end.
What a tasty way to keep cool, and definitely less sickly than a huge ice-cream would have been!
