We had our lunch in Bon Chon at UP Town Center. We strolled after I had gotten my Landers card and applied for my Chinabank credit card. We ended our meal with a bingsu, the one you see in the picture. It is a popular Korean shaved ice dessert. While Filipino halo-halo traditionally uses crushed or shaved clear ice mixed with milk, Bingsu uses a block of frozen milk or cream shaved down to an ultra-fine, fluffy, powder-like snow ice texture. It melts smoothly in your mouth and is naturally creamy even before adding toppings. I thought of having a DQ after that meal and my friend told me that we might not be able to do anymore because we already have bingsu. I said, DQ is still a lot different though. True indeed we didn't have DQ afterwards. Very Satisfying!

It is called Bingsu (or Bingsoo), which is similar to a halo-halo delight, a Filipino dessert.

@Neil43 I see. I think I have seen bingsu in some Korean dramas. I reread your post. Thanks for the update.

It is bingsu, smilar to a Filipino halo-halo dessert. Also you may reread my discussion up because I have updated and edited the text. Thanks.
