The Food Series: PatBingSu

where to get patbingsu in south korea

When the weather heats up to the point I’d consider it to be the temperatures of an English Summer, South Korea, very sweetly, bring out all the summer desserts. Like PatBingSu.

The Korean dessert is traditionally a mix of shaved ice, red bean paste and ddeok and sometimes ground nut powder, topped with fruit – and you can get it at pretty much every cafe during the summer months in various forms. The most common (and possibly the most welcome – once you’ve seen the price of out-of-season fresh fruit in Korea) is the mixed fruit bingsu.

Traditional base of milk ice shavings with red bean paste, fresh fruit and ice cream on top. 

There are plenty of places that specialise in creating crazy flavours of patbingsu, or that are just know for having the best/tallest/largest of certain flavours available. Pop Container in Sinchon specialises in super-tall oreo bingsu, cafe bene does some of the biggest bowls I’ve ever set my eyes on, Baskin Robbins does a brilliant flavoured ice cream bingsu (they sever 31 flavours of ice cream so if it wasn’t brilliant I’d be slightly disappointed), and one of the most famous is the super traditional offering from ‘It’s Huidong’s mum’ (희동아 엄마다).

The strawberry monstrosity in the first picture (and above) is the Strawberry Bingsu by Cafe Iceberry, my second bingsu of 2014, and despite not being fresh strawberries (the staff were super apologetic about that, bless) it was usual bingsu levels of refreshing for a warm Sunday evening. 

I think as the temperature heats up I’ll venture to other parts of seoul to try out all the bingsu I can before I leave~

edit: Not that you have any reason to, but if you don’t believe me with regards to how popular bingsu is, Orange Caramel, a very cutesy sub-unit of the girl group After School, just brought out a song dedicated to it.

      Ahh they're really refreshing!! Hopefully they catch on in the west – I know a couple of places in America serve bingsu, waiting for it to hit London at least…Thank you for reading xx

[#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
