Usually Dallas and I spend the bulk of our Hawaiian vacations in Kauai, but this time we were only there for two days, one night. We stayed at the house he grew up in, sleeping in his childhood bedroom on his and his brother’s childhood beds.. which was.. interesting.
When we arrived in Lihue we ran some errands, went shopping at and around the Kukui Grove Shopping Center, and had lunch at Genki Sushi. Then we decided it was time to get going to Waimea, where we were staying. On the way I made Dallas stop in Hanapepe so we could get my favorite ice cream in the universe: Lappert’s Kauai Pie.
My favorite flavor is Kauai Pie, which is Kona coffee ice cream swirled with chocolate fudge, coconut flakes, macadamia nuts and vanilla cake crunch. OMG. So good.
Lappert’s ice cream is made right there in Hanapepe and the shop that we stopped at is the original. The ice cream is delicious. Dallas complained that it was expensive, which, it was, but this is a once a year (or more) kind of thing, so I don’t mind paying!
If Dallas complains about the price, shall we assume that he doesn’t eat any of the ice cream as a protest?
he did eat it because we didn’t realize the price until after we ordered and had the ice cream. we each got a 2-scoop serving, as pictured. i think it came to like $12, which seemed like a lot for 2 2-scoop servings of ice cream.
