NEWLY OPEN! Snow-it Korean Bingsu!

Good news for all bingsu lover! We are exciting to announce that there's a newly open Bingsu dessert shop at Kemang! Located in front of Anomali and KOI Kemang, you can find it on the left before the traffic light (from MCD Kemang direction). They place has two-stories building with typical Korean cute interior. The place is owned by Korean brothers. So if you expect to meet cute oppas, you can visit here as one of the references! lol

So, actually me and Ailsa were invited to a meeting by pergikuliner. They recommended us to visit this place for our meeting venue. Since we both are dessert lovers, we couldn't agree more! So, we decided to taste this newly opened bingsu shop. Yey!

Hello there cashier oppa!:))

For you who is yet to know, Pergikuliner is a platform, originally from Indonesia, for restaurants and culinary reviews. You can write down your own review there, give ratings, and another information based on your own experience in each restaurant reviewed. What's better is they don't only provide fancy places, but also some cheap yet famous food stall around Jakarta (soon-to-be Indonesia) reviews. Currently they are expanding to Depok and Bandung, of which we are excited to give our reviews! Yehee! If you are an Android user, congratulation you can directly download their application on the playstore. Unfortunately, for IOS user, they're still in progress on launching the application, but you still can access it from your safari here (applies to every internet browser though)

Since we have already had our lunch before coming here, we decided to order the desserts only. Our first dessert choice went to Snow Bingsoo (53k). I can tell you how appealing it looks only by seeing it from the menu book. It was full of cotton candy with bubble gum flavour. The shaved ice has the perfect size of shaved ice for bingsoo, if only it lasted longer. It melts faster compared to the authentic korean bingsu. Personally, I think the taste doesn't really appeal much than it looks.

Our second dessert was Pineapple Bingsoo (60k). I think this was the most expensive and big sized ones in the shop, but heck I love it so much! The pineapple tastes like heaven! They knew how to pick the perfect pineapple for dessert I guess, since it's more into sweet than sour. It was topped with a scoop of oreo ice cream. Whoa it was jjang! Two thumbs up! Although, the ice melts kindda fast as well, it still won't stop me from reordering it next time.

For drinks, I intentionally ordered for mineral water since I can't take anymore sweets intake. But our Ms. Ailsa choose to order a glass of Ice Americano (25K). The Americano tasted like the ones made from Seoul's Coffee Shop. It was really nice, not too bitter but not too sweet either. If you like your Americano sweet, they also provide the liquid sugar for you!

One week after this visit, we decided to go back to taste their other menus. So, here's the update! Our first menu was Tok Ramen with Extra Cheese (32k). Tok Ramen means ramen served with Tteokbokki (rice cake) as topping. Actually it only costs 28k for the original Tok Ramen, but we paid another 4k for additional cheese. The ramen tastes really nice and spicy enough for my tongue. I'm in love with the rice cakes! It's cheewy and fits the ramen well. The ramen also came with kimchi as compliment. The kimchi was so fresh, too bad we only had small portion of it. Still, absolutely my favorite!

Our next menu went to Oreo Bingsoo (50k). Actually we wanted to order Injelmi Bingsoo, but we decided to order Oreo Bingsoo insted after reading lots of positive reviews about it. We'll keep the Injelmi Bingsoo for our next visit then. lol. Since I'm a big fan of oreo, I can't agree more to this! They have these oreo crumbles all over the ice. I just can't stop eating! Though frankly say, it was nothing special about it since it was literally oreo crumbles with ice.

Lastly, we had Injelmi Toast (28k) to conclude our dinner here! I'm not really sure what is it, what I know is that injelmi is popular in their mother country. Well, if I have to say from what I've tasted, the injelmi has that taste and texture of a mochi. To sum up, this menu was like a toast with peanut flavored mochi. Not a fan of this one, but Ailsa seemed to enjoy it so much. The portion was huge though for dessert, so I suggest you to have it shared.

After all, we had a great dining experince, especially for bingsu. Since it's not that far from Depok, I think we might consider coming here over and over again! Also, we want to deliver our gratitude to pergikuliner for introducing us to this amazing place. Thank you pergikuliner!
