This is one of the most enjoyable and affordable bingsu i've had! The bingsu is dusted with addictive sweet matcha powder with adequate matcha bitterness and nutiness to keep you digging for more! The bingsu is also finely grated with a hint of milky sweetness 😗👌 plus points goes to its free-flow condensed milk (though the small disposable plastic containers provided isn't very practical and eco friendly). Personally, i would prefer the red bean sandwiched between the ice cream and bingsu to be less sweet and smoother or more textured. As you can see the picture, there are whole red beans within the red bean paste, so i'd prefer something more definite rather than having my brain to decipher the contrasting textures of the same ingredient. The bingsu is topped with a scoop of matcha ice cream which tasted rather average and lacking.

Despite the lacking elements of the bingsu (red bean and ice cream), it is compensated by the matcha powder, bingsu and its affordable price! I'd suggest going for the $10.90 bowl if you are sharing with more than two people for a much bigger portion for an extra $2 only. Still my go-to bingsu because of its price, location and not-too-bad taste 👍

My fellow reviewer zy said that bingsu is called bingsu because it's 冰(ice) + su (milk) 🤦‍♀️

Paid only $5.9 for quite an enjoyable Bingsu! The ice is fluffy and milky!
