Hawaiian Desserts are Da Bomb!!

After this last week spent in Hawaii (Kauai to be exact) I am convinced that Hawaiians really know how to do desserts!
Thanks to recommendations from chowhound।com, and from random locals we met on our travels (and in one case, pure serendipity) we chanced upon some amazing desserts. My favorites by far: halo halo (or any tropical flavor) shave ice and lilikoi (passion fruit) pie. The sweet Hawaiian bread (often called Portuguese bread) wasn't half bad either. And when it come to the "fresh fruit as dessert" category, Hawaiians pretty much have a lock on it!

Fortunately, I was not too much into standard Hawaiian fare like laulau and kalua pork, and chicken and mahi katsu, but these calorie savings were wiped out by my copious consumption of the desserts and fruits.
