I didn't know PINEAPPLE ice-creams exist! ;) *yum*




My new-found love :) - Dole Plantation's pineapple ice-cream
Light, fluffy
& not too sweet (unlike fruit sorbets. I'm not a fan of sweet sorbets)

it's virtually fat-free
Be prepared for a long queue!
(but it's worth it nonetheless :) )
When I was there, I saw at least 5 other tourist buses!

About Dole Pineapple Plantation

(Source: Wikipedia)

Dole was founded in 1851 in Hawaii as Hawaiian Pineapple Company by James Dole, who opened his first pineapple plantation in the central plateau of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Today the company does business in over 90 countries and takes in upwards of $5.3 billion in annual revenue. It is owned by billionaire David H. Murdock.







Colourful plants along the driveway


Eucalyptus trees...





A map/directory located outside the main building


A stall selling home-grown fruits and veges- paw-paws (papayas), pineapples, sweet potatoes, etc



A souvenir shop where you can get nicely-packaged Hawaiian snacks - Macadamia nuts, sugar-free chocolates, preserved pienapples, amngoes, & coconuts, pineapple ice-cream (of course!), organic honey, cereals, fridge magnets... etc

"Coconut Macadamia Nut" ice-cream; heavenly combination! :)




One of my favourite ice-cream flavours :-)
well, because it's so unusual!
who'd have thought that macadamia & coconut would make such a smashing combo?
after all, I've always associated macadamia nuts with wasabi, chilli, garlic ...& other salty flavours

It's a local Hawaiian brand known as Dave's Gourmet Hawaiian Ice-Cream.
unfortuately, the company does not currently have a website for online shopping...
but it's a must-try if you're in Hawaii
