Review - [Kokomama]

So it has been the in thing these days, and just nice there was a promotion circulating on facebook quite abit these days, me and John decided to try out after my work on Sunday.

~~~~~ BINGSU

Patbingsu (팥빙수, also stylized as patbingsoo, literally red beans with ice) is a Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings such as chopped fruit, condensed milk, fruit syrup, and Adzuki beans.^[1] The snack is highly popular in Korea.

This snack originally began as ice shavings with red bean paste (known as pat, 팥). It was traded among government officials. Many varieties of patbingsu exists in contemporary culture.

In case you all haven't seen the promotion, let me just share it here.


So basically for the price of $8.90, you get to choose any 1 of these flavours:

- Mango Madness
- Snappy Strawberry
- Milky Oreo
- Matcha Craze
- Red Ruby

And all you need to do is to present your Student Pass at the counter!

So me and John decided to share one since we were still going for dinner after that. And initially we were contemplating between the Mango Madness and the Milky Oreo. And in the end, we decided on Milky Oreo.

Frankly speaking, it was a bit of a disappointment because we thought that there was nothing really unique about it and that there were too many oreos in it and the shaved ice melt way too fast!!! The only unique taste is the shaved ice melting in your mouth. The only ingredients we had in our Milky Oreo Bingsu was the milky shaved ice, oreos, chocolate waffle sticks, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a few pieces of muah chee like thingy.

We had pretty high expectations for it probably because of what we saw on our social media platforms, but then again we thought WE GET WHAT WE PAY.

Honestly I would still go back down to try the Mango Craze for the price of $8.90. I'm definitely not willing to pay more than $10 on something like ice kachang which I can get it at less than $2 anywhere??????

At Kokomama, I realised that it is quite a study friendly cafe because first of the all, they don't only have Bingsu, but they also sells juices, cakes and other food. Secondly, they have power sockets! (YAY to especially RP students because we CANNOT study without our laptop) However, I'm not very sure if they have free wifi, but when I attempted, they'll prompt you to ask the owner of Kokomama for the password, so I guess there's a 80% chance that there's free wifi! :)

So if you're wondering where it's located at, it's located at the School of The Arts (SOTA), the row along I'm Kim's BBQ.


P.s: The $8.90 promotion ends on 31 August! So be quick! ;)
