Bibing Korean Dessert Cafe

By -
Bibing Korean Dessert Cafe is really a hidden gem, hidden from our eyes as we had passed by many times before we finally found it. The location is really accessible, only 5 minutes walk from Chinatown but it really baffled us how we had missed the cafe having passed by many times and asking people while trying to find the place. 

We finally found the cafe while we were opposite at the market, we recognized the reflection of the carpark through a photo that DanielFoodDiary posted. So thankful! I could not believe how silly we were, walking back and forth, and even thought that the cafe might have closed down...


The cafe is empty when we entered, perhaps having just opened at 12-ish, 
The interior is very korean, simple white walls and nature inspired decor. 

I like the trees especially, reminds me of the four seasons in Korea



Of course, we ordered their signature premium Bibim! 

It took quite a while for them to prepare and I can understand why, this dessert is just like a piece of art, a very clever one indeed. I do not mind the waiting time since there are no other customers at the time, but please make it prettier (:

The presentation is really fancy, like a korean Bibimbap meal, with side dishes-ice cream, condensed milk and grape syrup? The Bibim is also very colorful, with different fruits and toppings such as almonds and oreo.


Its really amazing how they thought of replicating the egg of the Bibimbap- 
by cleverly using yoghurt topped with a slice of peach for the yolk 


Eat it the way you would eat your bibimbap, add the sauces, toppings and mix it all up! 


Taste time! The shaved ice if not for some bigger chunks, is quite fine and melts in the mouth just nice. However, I feel that the flavor of the shaved ice is quite bland if not eaten together with the fruits. Most of the fruits are sour in nature, and it kind of reminds me of llao llao's sanum... fruits and yoghurt, really healthy and good for your digestive system (: 

The price is quite high for a bingsu, but I guess it does not hurt to try at least once? I might return to try their melon bingsu since there will be a 20% off if you post a picture onto Instagram

Korea day 5

By -

Time passes so fast when you are enjoying yourself. It is the fifth day in Korea. As usual, we packed up and left the resort in the morning to eat breakfast at the place we had our dinner the day before. I had quite a phobia that they will serve the fake "codfish" soup again as it does not taste nice at all. Luckily, the menu was beef stew soup but we do not eat beef so the soup was substituted with pork tonkatsu which is made with seafood. It does not taste appetising at all and I did not eat much as I am not used to eating rice for breakfast. I also hate having to eat mayonnaise with rice. It just tastes so...wierd...   After breakfast, we left for Everland. It opens at 9.30am but we reached there at about 10plus. We took a shuttle bus into the amusement park and took both group and solo photos at the entrance. Following that, we left to tour the park. At it was snowing that morning, many rides were closed so we sort of wasted our time there and took pictures instead. ...

Maki-San X Foodpanda

Literally rolled out of bed early for this Maki-San X FoodPanda event held at 112 Katong Maki-San's third outlet. Many thanks to Mich again for jio-ing me to this event since Paul could not make it  I've tried Maki-San once at their first Cathay outlet and I really enjoyed it and looked forward to rolling my own Makis at this event.  These days the trend is all about customization and insta-worthy food. Maki-San simply fulfill our need for novelty by allowing us to customize our very own makis with the toppings we like. Brown rice option is also available for the health conscious.  Really love the pretty and colorful packaging, which won several awards.  Even my friend brought home the boxes after eating > < Being early, we were the first to arrive at the event. We were given each a nice foodpanda apron to wear so that we will not dirty our clothes.    Mich is like a panda after suffering from insomnia last night ...

Mean Bean & Wicked Grind

After sending cousin off at Goldenmile for her coach to Kuala Lumpur, we decided to go check out Mean Bean & Wicked Grind cafe which is nearby, at The Plaza. From Goldenmile tower, The Plaza is straight up and around 10 minutes walk away. It is also just opposite Haji Lane which is quite accessible for us to go Bugis as we planned to watch a movie after checking out the cafe.  Upon reaching The Plaza, we were a little unsure if we were at the right place as it does not seem like where cafes normally should be. The reviews were accurate, this cafe is quite hard to find > <  All the stores there were mostly furniture stores or travel agencies, hence, we decided to check with the information desk. Much to our surprise, the counter staff knew almost immediately where we wanted to go and gave us directions that it is straight up inside. HOW ULU!  We finally found the cafe! It is quite a small cafe with only two tables inside and a few outside. But the deco...
