Only in Hawaii can you get away with a name like that.\u00a0 But Uncle Clay\u2019s House of Pure Aloha (located at 820 West Hind Drive #116 in the Aina Haina Shopping Center in Honolulu) not only has some of the best shave ice we\u2019ve ever had, but it contains something even better\u2014Uncle Clay himself.<\/p>\n

First things first.\u00a0 The shave ice.\u00a0 Very fluffy and powdery, the way the ice should be.\u00a0 But, more importantly, all of the flavorings are natural.\u00a0 So rather than the oh-so-authentic looking blue raspberry, you have flavors such as lilikoi (passion fruit), mango, pineapple, and strawberry.\u00a0 We highly recommend the lilikoi and the pineapple.\u00a0 As with traditional Hawaiian shave ice, you can add ice cream to your shave ice (which the locals assure us is quite delicious, but which we have never tried).\u00a0 There are fruit toppings available as well.\u00a0 And the portions come in keiki (child-sized), medium, and large.<\/p>\n

Uncle Clay himself defies description.\u00a0 He is a gentle, zen-like soul who is genuinely flattered that you have come to eat his shave ice.\u00a0 But the best way to describe him is to give you The Pure Aloha oath, which he wrote himself.<\/p>\n

The Pure Aloha Oath<\/p>\n

I solemnly promise<\/p>\n

To live every heartbeat of my life<\/p>\n

From this day forward<\/p>\n

With Pure Aloha.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every single word that comes out of my mouth<\/p>\n

And every single action, be it large or small<\/p>\n

Must first come from my compassionate heart<\/p>\n

And be supported by my thoughtful mind.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With an open heart and an open mind<\/p>\n

I will unconditionally love<\/p>\n

Every person who crosses my path in life<\/p>\n

As a fellow member of our one world ohana.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If I truly try my best to do all these things<\/p>\n

I will become the person I was born to be<\/p>\n

Filled with inner peace and complete happiness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Living every heartbeat with Pure Aloha<\/p>\n

I can<\/p>\n

Bring love into the hearts of others<\/p>\n

And make our world a better place.<\/p>\n
