As the trend of Korean culture continues to rise in Singapore over the recent few years, Korean food has become a big part of our daily lives. You can find plenty of Korean restaurants and marts all over the country, with Korean-everything that we all love.

Binggrae is a popular food brand in South Korea and their desserts are especially delicious. Ever since we tried their Pangtoa Blueberry Ice Cream Cake and Mango Bingsu, we have been big fans of their creations. The Pangtoa Red Velvet Ice Cream Cake with Cream Cheese and Green Tea Flavoured Ice Cream With Sweetened Red Bean Paste in Fish-Shaped Wafer are just two of the many colourful dessert products in Binggrae’s extensive line.

The best part about these ice cream products is its inexpensive price tag. You can easily grab one of these in Shine Korea, Hao Mart, Sol Mart and selected provision shops islandwide and enjoy them in the comfort of your home after a hearty dinner.

Here’s what we love about the newest additions—Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwich and fish-shaped Matcha Waffle.

PANGTOA RED VELVET ICE CREAM CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE

Red Velvet is a popular flavour choice due to its stark and prominent red colour. Modern red velvet cakes are usually made using buttermilk, butter, cocoa, vinegar and natural or artificial food colouring so it has a distinct taste and colour that sets it apart from the rest.

Binggrae’s Pangtoa Red Velvet Ice Cream Cake with Cream Cheese is a gorgeous dessert that tastes even better than its bright red exterior.

The red velvet cake sandwiches a delightful and refreshing cream cheese ice cream. Traditionally, red velvet goes hand-in-hand with cream cheese as it is such a complementary pairing. Also, the fluffy red velvet chiffon cake makes taking a bite just so easy.

The actual cream cheese ice cream is light and not overly-rich. You can easily finish the ice cream without the guilt after!

GREEN TEA FLAVOURED ICE CREAM WITH SWEETENED RED BEAN PASTE IN FISH-SHAPED WAFER

The classic fish-shape dessert is synonymous with Korean and Japanese desserts, hence the Green Tea Flavoured Ice Cream With Sweetened Red Bean Paste in Fish-Shaped Wafer.

Besides the adorable wafer exterior, the dessert is filled with matcha ice cream and red bean paste. This is also a classic pairing that never goes wrong.

The wafer exterior is very light and adds a nice textural variety to the overall bite of the dessert. The green tea ice cream itself is much more flavourful and it packs a punch, especially with the red bean paste.

This combination is dangerously addictive! You will not be able to stop after your first bite.

Both these products are so simple and unpretentious, but oh-so-delicious! Being pre-packed desserts, you can keep them in your freezer for a decent amount of time and grab one whenever you want to without having to head out.

With Binggrae’s products conveniently found in Korean Supermarkets and selected provision shops islandwide, you do not need to pay for overpriced Korean desserts and best of all, you will be able to indulge in these desserts in the comfort of your home at any time of the day!

Patbingsu and ice cream sandwiches are extremely popular summertime treats in Korea for two good reasons—they help you to cool off from the sweltering heat and at the same time, satisfy your dessert cravings at very low prices.

Of course, it is not practical at all to take a six-hour flight out to Seoul just to try them when you have other commitments back at home. However, do not despair—F&N Ice Cream together with Binggrae have brought in some tasty, honest-to-goodness Korean bingsu and ice cream treats right over to our sunny island!

With Binggrae’s Bingsu Mango and Pangtoa Ice Cream Sandwiches conveniently stored in Shine Korea, Hao Mart, Sol Mart and selected provision shops, you have no reasons to splurge on overpriced Korean desserts anymore. Here’s why you need to stock up your fridge with Binggrae’s latest creations now.

BINGGRAE PANGTOA BLUEBERRY

Launched last summer in Korea, Pangtoa Blueberry received many praises from the locals there. It is essentially an ice cream sandwich with two slices of blueberry soft sponge cakes holding onto a generous block of blueberry ice cream.

Yes, this indulgent snack is sweet and bursting with blueberry flavours.

The Pangtoa Blueberry reminds us of the ice cream sandwiches that mobile ice cream vendors are selling in Singapore—comforting, delicious and not to mention, easy on the wallet too.

However, what sets this Korean ice cream sandwich apart from that is the use of higher quality ice cream and soft chiffon cake for a smoother texture. The obvious rise in quality more than makes up for this negligible price difference.

The best part about an ice cream sandwich is that you get to taste everything in one bite. We could taste the cake which was pillow-soft and it broke upon biting. Before we knew it, the richness of the blueberry ice cream flooded our taste buds.

How can something look so simple, yet taste so good? Don’t just take our word for it though, the best way to find out is to try them out for yourself.

If you are not a fan of blueberry, there are other Pangtoa flavours such as Pangtoa Cookies and Cream and Pangtoa Chocolate. They also recently launched Pangtoa Red Velvet, which features red velvet chiffon cake sandwiched with ice cream and cream cheese.

BINGGRAE BINGSU MANGO

Many Koreans grew up eating patbingsu; this nostalgic snack is hence an important aspect of their childhood. The first origins of bingsu started with just red beans and ice shavings but you can find a luscious array of bingsu toppings these days in the market.

F&N’s Bingsu Mango includes mango yogurt infused in ice shavings. Since its launch in Korea last summer, the dessert has been receiving positive comments from the public. It is now available in Singapore and it is finally our turns to try!

As more cafes these days are starting to offer bingsu on their menu, it is evident that the bingsu trend is here to stay for a while longer. However, we feel that bingsu is generally overpriced in Singapore and not worth the splurge.

Binggrae’s Bingsu Mango is a (much) cheaper alternative for those who are just looking for something on-the-go. The bingsu’s handy size is also perfect for individual consumption; gone are the days when you have to pay more than ten bucks for a huge bowl of ice that you won’t even manage more than half.

There are two strong flavours in the Binggrae Bingsu Mango that complement each other well—yogurt and mango. The result is a marriage between refreshing fruity flavours in every mouthful.

In true Korean bingsu spirit, there is also the addition of mango fruits in small bits on top of the mango shaved ice to complete the experience.
