Milagros Food Co. MauiTime readers know a great pau hana spot when they see one.

Local Boy’s Shave Ice One word: mochi. Two words: azuki beans. In both these things, I find eternal happiness. The fact that they’re free add-ons to Local Boy’s shave ice is a supernova blow to my munchie mind. Also free are extras like ice cream, gummy bears and li hing mui powder. But it’s the Kauai Cream that they’re famous for. It’s more than mere condensed milk poured on … [Read more...] about MauiTime Best of Maui 2010: Best Shave Ice on Maui: Local Boy’s Shave Ice
