So many delicious looking treats!!
They make these amazing Korean bake goods here. My friends spent some time in Korea as a child and she can attest to how authentic these items are.
Even though I am gluten free I did try a few of the pastries and they were outstanding
My favorite was the Chestnut bread. It reminded me of a cookie or a dessert or bread I had when I was little, but I can't put my finger on what it was. I am racking my brain what this bread reminds me of. This bread was light, sweet and so crave able. It reminded me of Christmas.
My friends bought me these Macaroons before I could get to the register to purchase them myself. I love macaroons and they are gluten free too.
They had these great seating areas too. Where the table was put lower and the seats were built up. You then could get cushions to add to the chairs for comfort.
It is very ceremonial looking too. You take your shoes off and find your seat. There are three of these seating areas divided by art decorated screens.
I ordered a Plum iced tea. It was incredible and it had pieces of plum in it. It was light and refreshing. I could have drank 3 of these. I need to find a plum tea.
I wasn't going to get Bingsu, then I saw what my friend ordered...and then I tried it...and I had to get one too!!!
My friend got the roasted soy powered Bingsu.
I ordered the green tea (Matcha) Bingsu.
It was unlike anything I have ever had before in my life.
It is snow Bingsu. It is shaved milk and it really is like snow. It is light and fluffy.
It is a mound of shaved ice, matcha sprinkled around it with mochi. Then a scoop of red beans and matcha ice cream. It then has sweet, condensed milk on top. It was fantastic, really hard to describe, you just have to try it.
