Bingsoo the Korean halo-halo

I'VE seen it several times but wasn't enticed by the site even though I love Korean food. The reason? It looked like a snack bar.

But Towi, my bestfriend's daughter, requested that we have a late snack there after the Datu Bago Awards night, and so along with grandfather Rey, Kubing, Kunta, and Daddy Rey's staff, we headed off to Noon Saram Korean Cafe at the corner of Guerrero Street and Sta. Ana Avenue (diagonally across Holy Cross of Davao College), and was introduced to Bingsoo; the Korean shaved ice dessert aka halo-halo with much less mix or Scramble with more than just Julep.

The bing soo was as Towi described it, delicious. And that deserved another visit. But this time, I wanted to try some of their food as well.

Thus, Imee and I ordered jjampong, black bean noodles, and ojijingeo, the one that is served with two sidings and a bowl of soup. (There's a serving where there's no sidings and soup, which costs around P20 or so less). Their kimchi and jjampong were super spicy, but still well within my capacity.

What we were not prepared for were the sizes of the servings. But since we were determined to try the dessert after, we plodded on. I got the banana blueberry bingsoo, Imee got the red bean bing soo. (You have the choice of ordering small, medium or large; we opted for small because we were already full).

Again, the bing soo did not disappoint. With finely shaved ice that seem to have either coco milk or milk frozen with it, we could have ate on and on had not our tummies been about ready to burst. We called it a night but vowed to return to try more bing soo. There's the strawberry (which I already tried on my first visit), the cheese, the cookies and cream, mango, and some other I can't recall. It's worth a try, and another, and another. Promise.
