Singapore is home to many dessert monsters and this craze for desserts has led to a spike in dessert places in Singapore over the last decade. Ranging from the ever popular chocolate waffles to the trending Korean Bingsu, Somerset is one area in Orchard Road, Singapore that boasts a whole slew of dessert options.

Just in that area alone, we managed to suss out dessert places housed in both proper dessert cafes and/or served in food kiosks. No matter what kind of sweet indulgence or experience you are looking for, you should find it in this guide.

NUNSARAM KOREAN DESSERT

If you are heading to town, do swing by Nunsaram. Conveniently located at Orchard Central, it prides itself as the go-to cafe for desserts or simply a place where friends can hang out after a meal.

Most of the Bingsu in the cafe are presented with a scoop of ice cream sitting glamorously atop the pile of ice. We heard that they use fresh ingredients for every serving of Bingsu – such as the Sweet Potato Bingsu (S$12.90), where the purple paste is acquired from the sweet potato root itself.

O’MA SPOON

Having their Bingsu was akin to eating snowflakes with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that all of us approved. Their Patbingsu (S$12.80) did the phrase “less is more” justice. We were in awe of how a classic Bingsu that was served in just sweet azuki beans atop milk ice shavings could rock our worlds with its heavenly medley of textures and flavours.

SUGAR LIPS

Quirky and whimsical, we did more than just a double take when walking past this dessert shop. Colourful paint is splashed across the cafe’s concrete floors, walls and exposed pipes.

We went for the Red Velvet Fluffy Waffle and Chocolate Seduction Truffle Cake. The former comprises octagon-shaped delightfully crisp red velvet waffles that are pillowy inside, while the latter is a sinfully rich chocolate cake alternated with generous amounts of chocolatey mousse.

Whether you have visited Korea or not, we hope this list of Korean dessert places will touch your #Seoul.

If you are exploring the Bras Basah and Bugis districts, you might want to join in the artsy-fartsy crowd and head over to the first container cafe in Singapore – yes, you heard us right! Situated at DECK, Snowy Village offers a noteworthy selection of Bingsu in an unusual container setting. A good dessert never hurts, right?

The container cafe holds approximately 12 seatings – one of the smallest Bingsu establishments that we have chanced upon so far, but it does make up for the lack of room with a homey space that is unique to its own. There is also an enchanting Alfresco dining area that is beautifully adorned with oil barrels and vines.

Other than Bingsu, Snowy Village has a menu of beverages and Korean sides.

Their signature Injeolmi Bingsu (S$12) enhances the conventional Korean dessert with a mixture of toppings such as Green Tea and Black Sesame mochi, peanut shavings and rice cakes. The soft and smooth ice shavings were a delight to savour, accompanied with a dose of condensed milk if you are keen on sweetening up your Bingsu.

Then, there is the Mango Bingsu (S$12.90) that comes with generous chunks of sweet mango atop finely shaved iced, and topped with condensed milk and mango syrup.

Some serious Bingsu feast awaits here at Snowy Village, indeed.

For more recommendations, read our guide to the best Bingsu in Singapore.

Bingsu is a popular Korean dessert which first started with ingredients primarily comprising of ice shavings, condensed milk, Korean rice cake and occasionally topped off with dollops of red bean or other similar fillings.

We can now find various renditions of this Korean dessert with toppings such as fruits, ice cream and even cheesecakes to suit the taste buds of many. This simple yet genius creation has captured the hearts of many Singaporeans, crowned as the perfect solution to bring the heat down.

That said, we have combined a list of the 8 Korean Bingsu in Singapore You Must Try. It is highly advisable to drag your friends or loved ones with you because the servings are usually huge, and more importantly, we believe that the best things in life should be shared.

#1 BING GO JUNG DESSERT HOUSE

Located at Guillemard Village, Bing Go Jung is one of the first Bingsu cafes to arrive in Singapore. This dessert house has since set the trend of serving authentic Korean Bingsu that will do the hype justice.

Their Injeolmi Bingsu (S$11) remains the best seller with finely shaved ice topped with soy powder, Korean rice cake, almond slices, and comes with an additional serving condensed milk – a dessert experience you will not and may never want to forget.

#2 CHICK N KEN

Other than serving mouth-watering Korean Fried Chicken, Chick and Ken also serves up beautiful bowls of Bingsu with a twist – the syrup comes in syringes, so that you can add in as much as you like, depending on your preferred levels of sweetness.

The Korean ice shavings here at Chick and Ken are coarser with slight similarities to our local Ice Kachang. We suggest you opt for their Cha-Yen Bingsu (S$12.90), an amalgamation of Thai and Korean flavours with honeyed Cornflakes, homemade Red Rubies and Thai Tea Agar.

Many people flock to the cafe for their famed Sweet Potato Patbingsu (S$9.80) with rice cakes sufficiently stuffed with sweet bean paste, sugared nuts and sweet potato mash to accompany the ice shavings. We have to say this bowl is a pretty photogenic one, huh?

Having reached our tiny red dot for almost three months now, Banana Tree has seen success with cafe hoppers flocking to Keong Saik Road just to have a taste of these beautifully plated desserts that look almost too good to be eaten or drank.

Banana Tree is a popular South Korean cafe chain with many outlets in its homeland. ‘Garden’-themed desserts served in pots with spoons shaped like spades, is Banana Tree merely a novelty?

Thankfully, the desserts here were expertly executed and we respect the effort put in to create these gorgeous desserts.

When we were ordered this item – Flower Paap (S$6.50), we never expected to be served an actual flower pot. Inside this adorable pot, housed delicious banana pudding served with oreo ‘soil’ and topped off with chocolate pebbles. We could not take enough photos of it! (And yes, they were easily a hit on Instagram.)

If this sweltering heat is too much for you to enjoy the desserts alone, try the Virgin Apple Mojito (S$7) or the Iced Matcha Som Som (S$7.50). The former is an ultra-refreshing take on a virgin mojio with fresh mint and apple cubes, served in a nice mason jar.
