6 Bingsu Places Around the Metro

The next time you come across a nagging desire to eat something that will somehow uplift your spirits during the day, we recommend a particular treat that might do trick—Korea’s popular dessert bingsu or shaved ice!

This is basically made of a mountain of finely shaved ice grazed by milk, which comes in a variety of flavors and toppings.

For the reference of the dessert aficionado in you, we listed down 6 bingsu places around Metro Manila that offer undeniably delightful variants.

Caffe Bene

While it is foremost rooted in offering good coffee, Caffe Bene is a place that provides a selection of food that satiates dessert cravings as well. And of course, bingsu has its place on their menu—which particularly comes in flavors of red bean, strawberry, and cookies and cream.

What’s more, the inherent sweetness of the cafe’s coarsely shaven ice and fresh toppings are made even delightful to relish by the combination of cream cheese and gelato!
