Whether you want main course or dessert flavors, you can get it at Wing Ice Cream Parlor in Chinatown.
The Dreyer’s Ice Cream case will fool you into thinking this is generic ice cream, but study the menu and you’ll find it’s anything but normal.
Ice cream maker/owner Miller Wing Royer (no relation to old Wing Coffee Co.) goes beyond chocolate and vanilla to create Nutella Bella, Pumpkin Spice, Lemon-Lavender and even Pizza ice creams, as well as Kinako and Piña Colada flavors for the vegan crowd, at $3.25 to $6.25 per cup, or $3.50 to $5.50 for cones.
Some flavors are better than others so sample before you commit.
Shave ice flavors include favorite local standards, from strawberry to li hing mui, banana to Melona. Recent homemade flavors included delicate rose and aromatherapeutic lavender, at $2 small and $3 large. Add-ons include a scoop of ice cream for 75 cents, and azuki beans or condensed milk for 25 cents.
Sundaes are also available.
