Rounding off a hot summer, we thought to have one more bing soo before the weather cooled down. Having enjoyed a very delicious iteration of the Korean dessert at Sunnybank, we opted to check out Bing Go's Garden City store while we were running errands nearby.
Heading over at peak afternoon tea time, I was surprised that it was empty, meaning more seats for us, although I did notice an abundance of flies and other pests in the shop though.
The restaurant seemed a bit more expansive than Sunnybank, perhaps because of a significantly larger kitchen area. Other than bingsoo, they had a wide variety of coffee based drinks along with a small selection of hot food.
Wanting to try out their most epic dessert, I had the Watermelon Special. Sharing between two, we asked for some bowls so we didn't both have to lean over it, but staff refused, which was surprising. The bingsoo was served with an ice block and whipped cream on top. The watermelon was fresh and crunchy but very sweet on account of the syrup it was topped with. The ice block was interesting, it was the colour of watermelon but taste wise it was undoubtedly honey dew melon which we didn't particularly like. Inside of the bingsoo there was a considerable amount of strawberry jam which kept it interesting and sweet. Overall, we did like this dessert but I think next time I'll stick with the matcha option.
