Ujikintoki Green Tea Kakigori from Sakurazaka. The bitter, milky green tea ice wore its Tsumori Chisato dress with a refined dignity and poise, while elsewhere even the luxuriously chewy shiratama tasted like it shops at the Mandarin Gallery and high-teas at the Ritz Carlton. 3.9/5 This was a hosted meal,…
Tiramisu Kakigori from Sakurazaka. Essentially a zen and harmonious union between a gracefully-perfumed tiramisu with a most spongy-soft bottom and an ice kachang with inner poise who attends ballet lessons and plays the viola. 3.7/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Sakurazaka. Sakurazaka 24 Greenwood Avenue Singapore 289221
Apgujeong Bingsoo from Patbingsoo, the Korean shaved ice dessert concept within Seorae – cheese, cheese sauce, cheesecake, cheese wafer, vanilla ice cream. The deep yellow cheese strands did not hide their desire for InstaMouse fame and the orange crumbs were essentially reincarnations of everybody’s favourite childhood Super Ring snack, but…
Creamy Cookies Pleasure Bingsu from Icebox Cafe. Imagine gravel consists of Oreo cookie crumbs and roughly crushed ice – this bingsu is a slip road off Sime Road. 3.6/5 Icebox Cafe Singapore 89 Rangoon Road Singapore 218375
Green tea bingsu from Nunsaram Korean Dessert Café. The choice of whipped cream to collar the bingsu was rather bizarre, but once said collar was scrapped off the mountain the green tea dessert was quite the hot weather delight, with the combination of sauce and ice cream somehow lasting long…
Melon Snow Milk Bingsu from Snowman Desserts. Despite the visual distractions offered by the veiny green dress, the Marge Simpson hairdo and the admittedly entertaining juggling of orange balls, inevitable is the realisation that the so-named snow milk ice that lies beneath has as much personality as those fake accounts…
BiBim bingsu from BiBing. Essentially HL chocolate milk (?) mixed with nuts, fruits and yogurt (not llaollao, but the cheap supermarket variety you eat for better bowel movements). 3.1/5 BiBing 50 Smith Street Singapore 058958
Strawberry bingsu from Nunsongyee. While we were positively smothered with love from all them fleshy and sweet strawberries, the cows that provided the milk used for the shaved milk ice might have been lactationally challenged as the ice was rather tasteless, a far cry from the milky goodness experienced during…
Bean powder snow bingsu from Twins. Essentially a blend of muah chee, rhino skin and O’ma Spoon-esque snowflakey milk ice, but instead created using HL milk and a 3D printer. 2.9/5 Twins 7 Craig Road Singapore 089667
