| - My first bingsu was also at a Cups, but it was at a location that closed down... I think. And it wasn't great, so I was a little apprehensive when I came with my friends for dessert here. I mean... it's just ice.
I'm not a fan of soybean, mochi, or almonds (or ice), so I was EXTREMELY wary when my friend recommended this. She said it was the best one there, and she's a bingsu queen, so I figure I might as well trust. We're all pitching $3 so I mean... not much of a loss if I hate it.
It came out looking like a bowl of sand. Yay.
It was actually great! It didn't taste like soybean much, and you can brush off the almond flakes, but they actually enhanced the flavour of the whole thing. The mochi gave the whole thing an interesting texture. Condensed milk was poured in layers over the shaved ice so it wasn't like you're just eating cold water.
Together, I think it actually went pretty well. Condensed milk saved the dessert. I'm glad the ice was actually shaved ice and not like... ice slush? It didn't melt fast! I'd love to come back on a hotter day.
The interior was cute and intimate with fake plants on the tables. Staff were alright. Defo reco for desserts.
Just a tip: a small can serve 2-3 people. 2 people if you're both feeling something was lacking from dinner, 3 people if you all just want something small, as in, smaller than the cup size (because cups are also huge).
