Uncle Clay's House of Pure Aloha


Back in the day and even today we call this place Doe Fang even though the new name is Uncle Clay's House of Pure Aloha.  I had heard that it now serves ono-kine shave ice, so me and Geri went to check it out the other week.  It's in the Aina Haina Shopping Center.

Here's Uncle Clay.  The place is totally refurbished and does not look anything like the Doe Fang of old.  But Uncle Clay?  He's still the same . . . oozing Aloha.

I had a small strawberry/li hing shave ice with vanilla ice cream.  It was super good . . . especially DA ICE CREAM!!  Da ice cream was so so so so ono.  I might even say the best in the history of mankind.

I don't think I've ever seen Li hing flavor on my island yet, I might be wrong though...we have a place here called Mt Lam Lam...they have shaved ice surprise, the surprise is the soft serve vanilla ice cream that they hide in the middle : )

Mmmm... This sounds great!

It's better now, he talks less. When it was Doe Fang, i would ask myself 'do we have the time to listen to Uncle Clay?' if not we shoot it to 7-11 instead. It was impossible to get an Icee and run, we would have to share our Pure Aloha to everyone in the store. Hahaha!

You really should drop by next time you're in the area, Erick.

It's so refreshing, Kay.

That is soooo funny, Dean!
