Bingsu, kakigori, snow ice. It’s a treat that goes by many names. But the Korean-style version of this mountainous dessert is what’s taking ³Ô¹ÏÍø by storm, no matter the weather.

Sulbing

No dessert lounge is more decadent than Sulbing, South Korea's iconic cafe celebrated for bingsu. These ‘snow ice’ creations are crafted from finely shaved flakes of ice cream, drizzled with condensed milk and your choice of topping. Think dark chocolate Oreo monster, tiramisu cheesecake, triple matcha or strawberries and cream. In a hurry? Swing by the new takeaway kiosk for bingsu to-go!

Nimbo

With flawless interior design, laneway location and endlessly creative dessert options, was bound to be an instant ³Ô¹ÏÍø classic. Join the queue in Hardware Street and order the fan-fave ube (purple sweet potato) flavour, topped with sticky sweet cornflake clusters. Try inventive toasties like miso cheese or pear and foie gras. Or go dairy free with vegan options, including a tofu pudding bingsu (topped with furikaki-style seaweed seasoning) and lashings of coconut condensed milk.

Nuttea

Known for its plant-based bubble tea, ±·³Ü³Ù³Ù±ð²¹â€™s latest menu special is another vegan sensation. This limited edition bingsu is made from dairy-free shaved ice, boba pearls and signature nut cream topping. Enjoy the classic creamy flavour, try a chocolate bingsu or opt for sticky mango.

Monster Bing

Not one to be outdone, makes already OTT desserts a little more extra with the addition of cute monster faces. Order your bingsu in a haze of nitro smoke, then dig into chocolate button eyeballs and wafer cone horns. Pair with boozy bubble tea and ice cream croffles for the full Monster experience.

Sweetie & Moustache

³Ô¹Ï꿉۪s OG OTT dessert bar, Sweetie & Moustache wrote the book on making treats the main meal. Its signature ‘melon bomb’ features a frozen cantaloupe, topped with vanilla ice cream and spheres of scooped melon. Served with a sprig of fresh mint and a pouring cup of condensed milk, it’s one to share with a sweet tooth mate.
