Desserts and snacks, \n24 Hour Reverse Osmosis Water \nand Ice \n\nWhat's sweet, salty, fruity, chewy, crunchy, cold and hot?\n\nWe'd driven by the tiny Hawaiian Ice Cream, water and ice and Mexican frozen sweets place for years. I didn't pay much attention until it was 110 degrees, our nearest Baskin-Robbins was toes-up, name-changed and folded. I noticed a Thrifty Ice Cream sign on one of Hawaiian Ice Cream's windows. \n\nI pulled in, bought a single scoop of chocolate chip, and tasted my childhood.  We visited several times.\n\nHawaiian Ice Cream locked the door just before Christmas 2010 leaving a sign in the window, \"Back Next Spring.\"\n\nWrong.\n\nNew owner, new menu.  Main item, raspados, fine ice with real fruit and juice base.  Lots of other dessert/snacky items too.\n\nWhat's sweet, salty, fruity, chewy, crunchy, cold and hot?\n\nA Chamoyada.  Chamoyadas are very good.  Chamoy is a brine-based sauce flavored with fruit, spiced with chile.  \n\nI had mango chamoyada.  The mango made it fruity and sweet; the chamoy sauce salty and hot; shaved ice, cold and crunchy; tamarind fruit leather strips, chewy.  I'm not sure what category to put the peanuts.  They were on top.  I could have really heated the dish up with more chile powder, but I was exploring and let the chamoyada be what it was.  There was so much going on in that amazing treat, it was like Fourth of July fireworks in my mouth, with flavors instead of beautiful bursting colors.  I was delighted.     \n\nWhen Oasis Raspados is open, you can buy blocks, 10 and 20 pound bags of ice. The RO water dispenser on the east wall is a 24/7 25 cent a gallon service. \n\nFebruary 15, 2011 Oasis Raspados still sold Thrifty ice cream.  They also sell banana splits.
