In a quiet Irvine shopping center, Sticky Fingers peddles some seriously good Hawaiian shaved ice out of its old-timey candy shop. Ice falls from the shaving machine the way Park City snow drifts, forming an impossibly fluffy dome in the flower-shaped serving cup. You're allowed three flavoring syrups, the best being the refreshingly floral passion fruit. The shaved ice itself is cheap, allowing for splurges on extra toppings such as condensed milk or ice cream. Condensed milk comes drizzled over the top, changing fluorescent-colored syrups into softer, frosted shades and making the ice creamier overall. Opting for ice cream doesn't quite constitute a topping, as it's crammed into the bottom of the cup before ice is shaved over it. What results is a pleasant contrast between thick ice cream and soft, fluffy ice, which only gets creamier as the two melt together in chilly matrimony.
