Summertime heatwaves have me craving ice in all forms specifically snowy mountains drenched with thirst-quenching toppings. During these months even a Waimānalo girl like me will go the distance in search of relief.
Ice Garden in ‘Aiea has always been an old-school favorite of mine. The shop was opened in 1982 by two Taiwanese sisters who served up fluffy bowls with a hybrid of local-style and Taiwanese toppings. In 2017 their nephew took over and to the relief of loyal customers, the sweet memories are still the same.
