| - FINALLY a shaved snow place in Henderson! It seemed that shaved snow is a big thing in SoCal but not so much here. I know there's a couple places in Chinatown that serve it, but driving out 30 min isn't the most ideal. Not only is this place close, it's GOOD. Shaved snow is like thin ribbons of flavored ice as opposed to shaved ice which gives you small chunks of plain ice. So it ends up being super fluffy and creamy, which is why I love shaved snow so much more!
This place offers a variety of flavors, such as mango, green tea, coconut, and black sesame. Each topping is an additional 50 cents, toppings include fresh fruits, mochi, or shaved coconut. Then you can get a "sauce" on top for free, like condensed milk or chocolate syrup. They also have a strawberry condensed milk, sounds interesting.
We ordered a mango and a green tea. Since we had been craving it so much, we each ordered ourselves a large, go big or go home right? On the mango, we got strawberries and mochi as toppings. The snow was amazing! It had so much mango flavor and the owners even said they use real mango to flavor the ice. The texture was perfect too. The strawberries were very fresh and pretty sweet and the mochi was nice a soft, not old like it had been sitting for days. The green tea snow was topped with mango and again mochi. We weren't a huge fan of the green tea, there wasn't as much green tea flavor and it seemed a little muddy. The owners told us that they use actual green tea whereas places in SoCal tend to use just powdered green tea. But they also had to tone down the green tea flavor to appease other taste buds, trying to find a happy middle.
Both were topped with condensed milk. One thing I really dislike about other places is that they tend to drown the entire thing with condensed milk. But here, you can ask them to go light on it and they really listen.
When you look at the cup sizes, you think "man that's not that much, let's get a size up." But about half way through each of our larges, we realized they really give you a lot! We both kind of regretted getting 2 larges, only because we were going to eat dinner afterwards. If this were just an after dinner dessert, there's no way I'd be complaining about getting more. This place isn't exactly opened late enough to be an after dinner dessert. But I'm definitely coming back here, just have to make the trek out in the middle of the day.
