It was a hot sunny day and we decided to go for a cold dessert! Bingsu is a traditional cold dessert in Korea and is very popular, especially during summer. It is made from fine shaved iced, covered with sweeteners such as milk, condensed milk, chocolate etc. Topping ingredients may vary from red bean, injeolmi, fresh fruits, ice cream etc. This is the most traditional and popular flavour in Korea - Injeomi Bingsu. Injeolmi is a famous Korean rice cake that's soft, chewy, nutty and mildly sweet. (Yup, that two little pieces on top that you saw in the picture). The taste and texture are similar to Japanese Mochi or Chinese muah chee. This is actually my first time trying and hearing about this flavour. One mouthful in, I instantly LOVE IT! Cause it LESS LESS LESS SWEET! ❤️ The brown powder you saw on the outer layer is the roasted soybean powder. It has a mild fragrance of soybean/earthly taste. They also added pieces of almond flakes to add the crunch. Meanwhile, the shaved ice is perfectly fine and has a super mild sweetness from either the milk/condensed milk, which is a perfect combo with the soybean powder. Both flavours complement each other very well. Will definitely order this again the next time I go! 😋
