| - Can the location of Cups be any better? It's right beside Piggy's and some other excellent restaurants in there area, making cups the go-to post meal dessert place!
Came here after eating a sensational meal at Piggy's and to be able eat bingsoo after such a korean meal was just an incredible experience. Korean 1-2 punch. If only I went to home of hot taste after for some drinks, then what would have been a trifecta.
Ok anyways, the place is rather small, but should have enough tables and chairs. We went with the classic injeolmi bingsoo and the matcha one in cup size. Cups at cups, how fitting. It really is perfect on-the-go if you ever want to do that (not recommended, at least not while driving). That being said, I still think the cup size is an acceptable size to be shared, unless you have a sweet tooth that is.
The shaved ice was nicely layered, with toppings through the cups. The injeolmi is always a must-get: Despite not looking the most flashy - it's the face of bingsoo. The nuttiness of it is through the roof and is so satisfying. Combined with the chewy-ness of mochi, and the soft fluffy texture and coldness of the shaved ice, it's literally a party in your mouth. It's not overly sweet at all, with most of the sugar coming from the condensed milk evenly distributed around. The matcha ice cream was packed with matcha flavor, it was so good. If I want to be nitpicky about cups, their shaved ice definitely lacked a creaminess some other shaved ice places have.
