There are just

However, their
Oreo Bingsu and Cheesecake Bingsu are pretty tasty!
Oreo Bingsu
Although Orea flavour can be found commonly at other Bingsu places, this Oreo Bingsu at Nunsongyee really looks appealing and fulfilling, they do give a generous amount Oreo crust! It is definitely perfect for oreo lovers!
Cheesecake Bingsu
1, 2, 3, Cheese!! Comes with vanilla ice cream, cheesecake cubes and powdered Graham crackers on top of snowflakes.
Their Bingsu
is really DAEBAK! We just love the way how their ice cream won't melt even
after 15-25 minutes of eating!

3. Chick and Ken
Chick and Ken is a Korean restaurant that sells Korean Fried Chicken
& Bingsu!
Talking about their Bingsu, they have bingsu flavours such as the
classic injeolmi, matcha, cha-yen, chocolate and so on.
Specialties:
Their signature bingsu includes the classic Injeolmi Bingsu ($12.90),
and the Cha Yen Bingsu ($12.90).
Injeolmi Bingsu ($12.90)
The bingsu is filled with the usual condensed milk, red bean and soy
bean power. However, it is also filled with rice cake & honeyed cornflakes.
The cornflakes stay crispy, giving a good crunch for the dessert! Pretty good
taste!
Cha Yen Bingsu
($12.90)
The Cha Yen Bingsu
is Thai inspired bingsu, which taste quite similar to how a Thai milk tea
tastes. It consists of Thai Tea Glace, home made red rubies, honeyed corn
flakes, and home made rice cakes. Basically an interesting creation!
Overall:
But of course,
Chick and Ken may not be something you would want to order if you are looking
for the authentic Korean bingsu experience. It’s not that their Bingsu is not
tasty, but is due to their unique bingsu creations that incorporated other
cultures as well, such as the Thai culture!
