The Best Korean Bingsu in the East You Can Find
While Singapore doesn’t quite have it’s own ‘Koreatown’, a bingsu cafe is never far. Bingsu, or bingsoo, is a Korean shaved ice dessert, reminiscent of ais kacang or the Japanese kakigori. There are usually a fun variety of toppings that goes along with it: condensed milk, red beans, syrup, and chopped fruit. Bingsu cafes have proliferated in Singapore with the help of the K-wave. Though we’ve found is that quite a few of the more established bingsu cafe’s closed down (as of 5th April 2022). Binggojung, Nunsongyee, I Scream, as well as the Tampines Brunch of Chicken Up. But if you’re at the east and don’t want to go all the way to town for a refreshing bowl of bingsu, here are some of the best bingsu in the East that we found.

Singature:
The Green Monster, $8.90
Matcha-and-milk shaved ice is topped with tender red beans, chewy cubes of matcha-dusted mochi, and Pauline’s home-made taro cubes, made from mashed taro and potato starch. This has a subtle green tea flavour and isn’t cloyingly sweet, which makes for a nice base for the toppings. The shaved ice sheets have some bite, but are pleasantly light on the tongue with a milky flavour, and they don’t melt too quickly. The chewy taro cubes and bouncy matcha mochi make for toothsome bites between icy mouthfuls. A good classic flavour combination with lots of texture. (By 8days)
