SHAVED ICE
SWEET HOME CAFÉ
2334 S. King St.
Phone number (808) 947-3707

Sweet Home Café probably is known just as much for its free dessert as it is for its delicious hotpots. The size of your shaved ice will depend on how many people are in your party (so yes, if you come with six people, you’ll get a large mixing bowl of joy), but it’ll always be loaded with all kinds of fruit jelly, pudding and boba goodness. Sometimes people come in just to order dessert (even if it isn’t technically on the menu), but c’mon, it tastes better after you eat your hotpot. You probably already have your favorite ingredients from those four loaded refrigerators in the back, but we like quail eggs and konnyaku.

SPICY FRIES
THE MODERN HONOLULU

Fries don’t always need to act as second fiddle to a main course. The Modern Honolulu’s spicy fries are good all by themselves. They’re seasoned just right — with each individual fry packing an ample amount of flavor. It’s a mild heat, so if you’re seeking a more powerful spicy punch, dip into the spicy ketchup. Protip: Pair this savory appetizer with a nice, tall glass of Maui Bikini Blonde Lager.
