The shaved ice in Palau is not your usual state fair variety, covered in blue food coloring and corn syrup. The Palau shaved ice primarily comes in two popular flavors, coconut and Calpico. In the case of coconut shaved ice, coconut milk is poured over the ice as it is shaved into a bowl. It usually comes with a side of coconut jellies, a thick gelatin made with coconut milk. The Calpico version is made the same way but uses a popular Japanese soft drink as the flavor base. Calpico is a tangy-citrus, somewhat yogurt-like flavor. At Rar in downtown Koror they serve it with mango jellies on the side (pictured). - Not only yummy, but it replenishes some of the liquids that you have no doubt sweat out during your time walking around.
