Before it was Catch 22 with its creative vibe and walls made up of collaged pieces of wood mixed with modern illustrations from local artists, it was the small boba space of Cafe Paradiso and even before that, it was Relaxstation during my college heyday.
MS and I were one of the first to greet the new, young, hip owner last year who gave us some delicious packets of instant milk tea and two huge stainless steel pots as he was cleaning out the kitchen behind the cash register. We've always been fans of this little boba shop, have played a game of Scrabble in Español there, and like to get our shaved ice treats here.
This milky cup of sweetness is heavenly on a hot summer day with thinly shaved ice, a dollup of both regular and condensed milk to give it its creaminess, and your choice of a number of toppings. I like the Mango Jelly that's shaped into soft tiny stars. When you mix it together, it's absolutely delicious. You'll be thirsting for more once you're at the bottom.

Hey jenjen! Thanks for stopping by my site too. The mango jellies definitely made this sweet dish! =)
Hey Trendy and Hip Drool Pillow... YOU SO SILLY !!! "Word up." See you later!
It's a hot one today... my apt has no air conditioning and I swear it's 85 degrees in here. Looking at those shaved ice photos cooled me off - I'll have to try Catch 22 soon. Mango jelly sounds swell!
Thanks for the virtual air conditioning, and great seeing you at Manna last night!
Anything with condensed milk is heavenly. AMEN!
Manna needs have a condensed milk dipping sauce. Hahah. I had so much fun last night!
The styofoam container of shave ice is looks neon among the black ground but it looks so good. I can imagine the ice pieces melting on my mouth now.
Hey CC! The Mango Jelly was oh so yummy and sweet! Always a good time eating all-you-can-eat Kalbi for $14.99. ;)
Hey Jeni! Ooo... condensed milk dipping sauce. Sounds like a GREAT idea! =)
Hey Ollylain! I could use another one of these too! Shaved ice with sweet smooth condensed milk just melts in the mouth! Mmm....
