\"nunsaramInjeolmi bingsu at Nunsaram, Orchard Central<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve been said to be a faithful man. My first love, my true love is bingsu at Nunsongyee<\/a>. Despite its ulu location, I’ve been back 4 times, I, someone who seldom\u00a0goes back to the same place twice. How do these bingsu cafes fare against\u00a0my puppy love, my ice queen?\u00a0Let the fight for my affection begin. In order of preference, from least favorite to most liked…\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"BingBing Jo Gung is the sweet sister of the Korean BBQ restaurant chain, Ju Shin Jung<\/a>. When I heard the bingsu here\u00a0is as good as Nunsongyee, I rushed here… and was disappointed. It was NOTHING\u00a0like Nunsongyee’s. Nunsongyee’s bingsu is made from celestial snow flakes, this one is ice kacang. Why do I want to pay over $11-$13 for ice kacang when Old Airport Road Market<\/a> is just behind?\u00a0\u00a0Next better player.<\/p>\n

\"nunsaramThe sister outlet of K Cook Korean BBQ<\/a>, Nunsaram has the same snowflakes\/ machine as Nunsongyee and O’ma Spoon (see below). But we thought it didn’t taste as milky as Nunsongyee, and Nunsaram uses condensed milk, which I didn’t like as much as sweetened milk. The snowflakes here also melted quicker and were coarser.<\/p>\n

But Nunsaram is more affordable at $12.80-$15.80 than its neighbour, O’ma Spoon, and it packs a lot more ingredients than Nunsongyee.<\/p>\n

\"O'maI’m sorry, Nunsongyee, but this one has the same snow flakes as yours.<\/p>\n

Here are some areas O’ma Spoon did better than Nunsongyee:
\n(1) there is a range of sizes, starting from petite size without any toppings at $3.80 (although it’s pretty expensive to buy ice for $3.80).
\n(2) Better location
\n(3) the\u00a0mango cheesecake bingsu<\/strong> ($18.90, pictured above) had amazing flavors: mango, mango ice cream, almond flakes, raspberry jam, dried cranberries, and a thin slice of cheesecake!!!\u00a0<\/strong>This is the best bingsu we have had.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some areas that O’ma fared worse than Nunsongyee:
\n(1) I saw the CASHIER, the person who handles dirty money, use her hands on our desserts. The cheesecake fell, and she used her hands to pick it up. She also sprinkled the dried cranberries with her hands. Hygiene police!!
\n(2) the place seemed dirty. Empty bowls and crumpled tissues were left on the tables and nobody cleared them for the entire time we were there.
\n(3) O’ma Spoon’s serving is definitely smaller than Nunsongyee’s.
\n(4) O’ma Spoon’s bingsu melted so quickly, but Nunsongyee’s didn’t melt much.
\n(5) Nunsongyee definitely has way better service–more intimate and friendly and less commercialized–and way better ambience. You can sit at Nunsongyee and watch the world pass by.<\/p>\n

After weighing the pros and cons in the O’ma VS Nunsongyee case, I still prefer Nunsongyee. So my current ranking:<\/p>\n

1. Nunsongyee<\/a>
\n2. O’ma Spoon
\n3. Nunsaram
\n4. Bing Jo Gung<\/p>\n
