Ice Cream at Remicone

Soft-serve ice cream is such a big thing in Korea. If you go to any touristy-type place (especially Myeongdong) there are multiple street-side vendors with snaking queues of customers on one side, and people happily snapping photos of their sky-high cold treats on the other. Yes, I’ve been on both sides, they really do make towers of those ice creams. And if you don’t fancy ice cream from the street, you can always pop into one of the various shops dedicated to frozen desserts, like Baskin Robbins. Or Remicone!

I’ve seen photos of the stuff Remicone creates all over instagram, and, being a child that enjoys fashionable things and frozen treats, I had to give it a try.

We went pretty late in the evening (after pancakes, actually), and thought that it would be really busy given the heat and humidity and general ‘great for ice cream’ weather. It was a pleasant surprise to find that it wasn’t, the only wait time we had was for the candyfloss.

Yes candyfloss.

We ordered the ‘thunder bomb’ and ‘hawaiian beach’ – probably two of the most popular orders, even though their menu is pretty wacky and extensive and constantly being switched up.

 The grey candyfloss is actually mint in flavour, and it’s piled high on top of soft serve vanilla ice cream. The Hawaiian Beach was the same vanilla base with a syrup that I can’t quite remember the flavour of, but it definitely tasted like I should’ve been sat on a beach in Hawaii rather than in the slightly hazy streets of Seoul.

The actual building is really cute, though the interior is really, really small – there are about 6 tables and two bar areas. But the outside is decked out like an ice cream truck. Well, it’s supposed to be. It’s not exactly reminiscent of any icecream truck I’ve seen, but it’s certainly a stand-out, and makes it really easy to spot.

The ice cream itself is reasonably priced, most of the desserts are 6,000w a pot, which matches with ice cream prices in England. Maybe a bit on the pricier side for Seoul, but then again, Remicone is in Sinsa, and Sinsa isn’t cheap.

All in all though, well worth a visit!!

      It was so odd to eat grey coloured mint things. I'm so used to mint being green!! I think a couple of their ideas might be super fun to try out at home, I just need to invest in a candyfloss maker… aha 🙂

      Take line 3 (the orange line) to Sinsa station and leave via exit 8. If you walk straight ahead for about 5 minutes, you'll come to Garosugil. 🙂

[#ad pr product] swipe for a video!  honestly i’ve wanted to try #roundlab products for a loooong time. they’re a brand that have risen through the ranks quickly, becoming known for their dokdo toner - it’s claimed top spot among many a korean beauty list. (2017-2019 hwahae beauty awards no. 1 toner)  🏝 dokdo toner 
SENSITIVE SKIN friendly, with minimal ingredients 
it’s a hydrating toner that doesn’t contain hyaluronic acid 
very gentle, soothes tired and irritated skin 
moisture balance care due to Ulleungdo deep sea water  🧖‍♀️ on my skin?
i like a toner i can layer, and i can do exactly that with the dokdo 1025 toner. it absorbs well into the skin, quickly and without feeling sticky or tacky. It layers really well.  It’s a solid start for the rest of my skincare routine. i can attest to the soothing/sensitive skin friendly ingredients - my skin hasn’t reacted unfavourably at all. It’s hydrates well for my skin, but i am not an overly dry skin-type.  it’s very comparable to etude house soon jung toner, which i love... but i think i like this one more.  🧪 ingredients 
Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Propanediol, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract, Saccharum Officinarum Ferment Extract, Sea Water, 1,2 Hexanediol, Protease, Betaine, Panthenol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA.  🛍 you can buy this and many other kbeauty products at @momokoo_cosmetic ~ go check them out~  #momokoocosmetic #lazada #kbeauty #kbeautyskincare #kbeautyblogger #kbeautyaddict #라운드랩 #라운드랩독도토너 #스킨케어 #koreanbeauty #koreanskincare #kskincare #roundlabtoner #roundlabdokdotoner #kbeautyvlogger #kbeautyyoutuber
