I ate my first bingsu when I went to South Korea in 2016. All thanks to my junior whom I went out with. He was so adamant about eating bingsu as he was not sure when he would be back in Seoul. So, we decided to go to Sulbing (설빙), Hapjeong-dong (합정동) after our dinner.
It was very easy to locate Sulbing, Hapjeong-dong as it is located along the main street. I am pretty sure it will be hard to miss the store as the store is pretty big (I am using the word big loosely here).
Like any other proper F&B outlet, Sulbing, Hapjeong-dong is very spacious, cozy and welcoming. I like the store's interior cause I am a sucker for anything #aestheticallypleasing.

There were not many people at the store when we came which was a plus point cause I was not in the mood to be in a crowded place. I guess it was because it was a lil bit late, Pretty sure, it was around 9ish. Or, maybe because everyone was busy clubbing. LOL!
Anyway, my junior and I decided to order two different bingsu as he thought it was going to be awkward for us if we shared one bingsu. He also wanted a bowl of bingsu for himself. Anything for you, junior :)
So, he ordered Blueberry Cheese Bingsu and I ordered Injeolmi Bingsu as per his and the server's suggestion. I honestly did not like the Injeolmi Bingsu at all. I have no idea why Injelomi Bingsu is very famous. And it was very messy to eat Injeolmi Bingsu cause the flour or powder (I don't know what to call it) was flying everywhere. It also made my throat dry. Basically, it was a hassle to eat Injeolmi Bingsu.
However, I did like the Blueberry Cheese Bingsu despite my not liking any kind of berries. It was sweet but not too sweet. The cheese also did not make me feel nauseous. But, I am pretty sure I will not order Blueberry Cheese Bingsu if I am going to Sulbing in the future cause it will be such a waste as I do not eat berries.

Injeolmi mmg agak dry...macam makan sagun..kalau pernah makan laaa...personally akak suka je dengan Injeolmi, sebab rasa dia yg agak berbeza.. :D
ReplyDeletePernah makan sagun tapi saya memang tak suka sagun. No wonder lah saya tak suka Injeolmi juga. Hahaha. Tekak saya tak boleh terima Injeolmi T__T
DeleteKak ana tak pernah try bingsu ni walau selalu nampak dalam menu setiap kali makan di restoran korea. Next time kena try juga nampaknya ni.
ReplyDeleteTry bingsu yang nampak sedap, kak Ana. Kalau tak, membazir je.
DeleteIs injeolmi taste any similar to nestum or horlicks or it's completely different level of taste...?
ReplyDeleteI only had tried blueberry cheesecake bingsu in malaysia but I already loved it so much.. Maybe because I'm all over berries.. hehe
I think it's different than nestum or horlicks or the like. Maybe macam sagun as kak Sally mentioned above.
DeleteI have yet to try bingsu in Malaysia but I definitely want to try them someday. The Blueberry Cheese Bingsu that I tried was good though I don't like berries. I think you will love it! ^^
Ya Allah nampak sedap sangat ! Eh bingsu nie lebih kurang macam ABC k ? sebab aku mcm pernah makan masa di Johor tp nama dia bukan bingsu lah. Nama dia Icetop. Just wondering whether it is the same thing or not. Cafe yang aku pergi tu pon merupakan salah satu cafe terkenal kat Korea. Pernah dijadikan lokasi shooting untuk K-drama. Droptop Cafe nama dia. Maaf kalau silap info =D Hihi
ReplyDeleteI did not like mine but I liked Adib's. Most of the time orang cakap lebih kurang macam ABC but I think it's quite different? Ais dia lagi halus. I just googled everything that you mentioned above but I'm not entirely sure. Aku first time dengar pasal Droptop Cafe ni. Nampak tak noob nya aku? But, I think it's the same thing.
Deletebingsu ni apa ea? kot nanti repeat korea lagi, boleh la try makan dekat sini. ada nearby subway tak?
ReplyDeleteBingsu ni ice shaved, a quite nice dessert especially in summer. Not sure if they are located near subway or not but this particular store is quite near to Hapjeong station. Maybe 2-3 minutes walk from the nearest exits.
DeleteBingsu,sounds like soup! hohoh I definitely gonna taste if I get a chance <3
ReplyDeleteWhat? No, I don't think so. Hahaha :D
Deletekalau ada aiskrim tu... mmg sah2 sedap kan... nampak banyak portion nyer tu farah..
ReplyDeleteYessss, portion dia besar. Selalunya orang kalau makan bingsu ni kongsi tapi sebab saya pergi dengan junior lelaki saya, kami tak kongsi. Tu yang order sorang satu tu.
Deletesalam ziarah & follow sini..
