Irvine: Tropical Shave Ice

I woke up late and ended up eating at a (gasp!) restaurant for lunch. Ok, it wasn't even a real restaurant but Panera, a bakery/cafe type place.  I got a cup of mac and cheese and a green salad, and that cost me $7.99+tax.  For the same price, I could get a steak over chimi rice and side zuchinni at Piaggio on Wheels, or my pork bellies with rice and fries at Dos Chinos.  Geez!

While eating,  I noticed Tropical Shave Ice was at a school in Irvine doing a fundraiser until 3:00.  It was about 2:00 when we sped down from Fullerton to Irvine.  Lucky for us, we caught up with them before they left.

Martin got the "Tiger's Blood" (Strawberry & Coconut blend)
with red bean and condensed milk.  Underneath the ice was a scoop of ice cream!
