When I was little, there was only one kind of Bingsu – Patbingsu(팥빙수). But now there are so many different kinds of Bingsu and the variety has kind of exploded: with different kinds of fruits (called Kwail Bingsu 과일빙수), with green tea powder (Nokcha Bingsu 녹차빙수), with mango, with coffee, with chocolate cookies, with artificial flavorings and so on.

So we probably visited Gami Bunsik (가미분식) at least 2- 3 times a week for lunch at summer time to cool our insides with their famous Cold Noodle Soup (Naengmyeon 냉면). This naengmyeon is so addictive that my friends always wondered if they had put oh, you know.

Well, you just never know! HAHA! Anyway, besides the famously addictive Naengmyeon, there is another dish that is equally as addictive. It is their Subak Bingsu (수박빙수).

Besides adding it to Bingsu, Koreans love to make cold misugaru drink by mixing the powder, honey and ice water. Imagine the sweet nutty goodness of peanut butter without the fat. It’s a great multi- grain drink for kids and adults alike. You can buy it here at my store if you don’t have a store nearby.
