Korean Ice cream at So Bing
This is one of the most talked about treats in town, Bingsu or Patbingsu is a Korean treat composed of coconut-laced shaved ice, chunks of fruit, over-the-top toppings, and a scoop of high-quality ice cream. Like many Korean desserts, the ice cream is not sickly sweet, making it more fun to eat. The crazy toppings include choices like bamba, brownies chunks, Oreos, watermelon cubes and many more – but to really taste the authentic flavor, opt for the green tea matcha version.
