FINALLY! I've tried Ho Bing. Ever since this snow dessert craze came in The Philippines, a lot of stores have opened with the same concept to the point that I don't know anymore where would I go to just to have a taste of this Korean Dessert in my mouth! �
After a heavy dinner at Sunnies Cafe yesterday, my friends and I were looking for a good place to have dessert and luckily I saw the Ho Bing sign from above. As if the heavens answered my prayers. Haha! It's located on the third level of Bonifacio Stop Over which is a place full of other restaurants and fast food chains that caters to employees nearby.
Good thing they are still open at 10pm when we arrived and we ordered their Strawberry Bingsu in Large Size priced at P330. They also sell other Korean desserts and ice cream but of course this one is the Highlight of Ho Bing.
They let me choose which toping to choose either Ice Cream or Whipped Cream. I guess most of you would choose Ice Cream but i'm just a huge fan of whipped cream so I chose that one!
OMG. When it was delivered to our table, it was just SO BEAUTIFUL. Too pretty to eat. �
The quality and the size of the strawberries they served was SUPERB. It's obviously high quality just like the strawberries on street markets in Korea! They added a little strawberry syrup on top and on the shaved ice. I like how the crushed iced with milk were compact and enjoyable to eat. It perfectly blends well with the citrus flavor of the strawberries! Oh I just love it!!!
I will definitely comeback to try other flavors. Eyeing on the chocolate bing su!
PS. I just love how they even play Korean Dramas inside the store which makes me nostalgic about my recent Korea trip. Oh how I miss Korea. Thanks to Ho Bing for making me feel like i'm in Korea even just for a few hours �
Ambience:
Seats outside looked cozy for the evening breeze yet we chose air-conditioning instead. Space seemed very limited but it was no biggie during our stay. Restroom actually smelled good and despite the tight space, I appreciate the signs encouraging customers to CLAYGO and shut off the lights. During our stay, they played K-Pop music videos and yes they had Momoland's Boom Boom too!
Dessert:
Injeolmi Bingsu was downright amazing! Soymilk powder, almonds, and cashews went perfectly good together. Every scoop towards the bottom always hit the right sweet spots! This can be shared for 2-4 foodies.
Green Tea Latte was not doing so well while I was enjoying the bingsu. When I tried the drink, I could only smell and taste the milk. I feel these shouldn't be consumed together because the bingsu was more flavorful.
Service:
Staffers seemed to be a fairly happy bunch. Greets were warm too!
- for Jupiter branch
Loved their bingsu here, we tried their classic red bean bingsu and strawberry cheesecake bingsu. Their Ra-bokki is lit, sooo spicy (which we loved) and a perfect partner for our bingsu. Great ambiance.
There's a place that my Krew friends usually go to whenever we finish a long day at an event around BGC or right straight from our KCC duty. It's the nearby BGC Stop over'd Hobing and I'm eventually glad that they already expanded with different branches around Metro Manila. Here's why I love Hobing:
Food isnt that great except dessert (gosh their desserts are the best) and the serving was quite a bit long. But Hobing deserves 5 stars for their store's extremely great customer experience. Staff is nice and even the manager who happens to be there when I visited.
Oh yes the K- Fever. Aside from their Bingsu I super love their tteokbokki ( spicy rice cake). It has lots of mozzarella cheese and sausages. I'm not really a fan of spicy food but this one is tolerable and I keep coming back for it.
I think I have already rated this Korean Dessert Cafe before but more specifically just for their Bingsu. This time around it now includes their Rice Meal and other Pastries.
You need to try their Beef Bulgogi Rice Meal, it's the best I had so far and it also comes with a free Iced Tea.
For finger food, try :
Gimbap - Rice rolled in Seaweed. They offer different flavors, I got the beef one.
Kimmari - Deep fried Seafood Spring Rolls
The place is huge enough to accommodate everyone. They also got a free Wifi, so no need to worry for those who like to chill.
Feel free to visit the place, even the service is exceptional. Just expect your food to arrive a little late if you ordered a proper meal.

I will be honest. I never had Bingsu before. I knew this placed existed ever since Bonifacio Stopover opened three years ago, but I always put off going to it.. This time around I decided to try it out, and I was not disappointed. Korean Bingsu is a shaved ice dessert. It is a creamy and cool dessert with a certain cream poured over shaved ice and It is super refreshing but not too sweet.
I ordered the Mango Cheese Bingsu and enjoyed the plentiful pieces of Mango around the bowl which complimented the plain cheesecake pieces and caramel drizzle. A small scoop of vanilla ice cream is also served, but you can also order different types of topping or ice cream to add to your dish. Hobing offers two sizes of bingsu Medium and large. Since I was by myself I only ordered the Regular size and I was ok with that.
The enviornment around the restaurant is pretty chill, and the prices are very reasonable. You can also order different types of drinks and small dishes to add to your dessert. Plenty of seats around with plugs to charge your devices or use your computer to do some work or homework. Hobing was a delight to try out and I am hoping to try it out again soon.
Went here to hang out with my buddies after a late night event last Sunday, it's a good thing that they are open until 1 am in the morning.
We ordered their best-seller Mango and Cheese Bingsoo. The presentation was really beautiful! We all agreed that the mangoes was succulent and sweet! The middle part of the Bingsoo was filled with mango jam which I particularly loved! The cheesecake felt not as fresh (perhaps, frozen for days?) and there was more to be desired but they made up with the really fresh mangoes and the mango jam. The shaved ice was right on point, not too overpowering but also not too underwhelming. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back with my buddies for our late night hangouts in BGC.
TLDR: Highly recommended for Mango Lovers! Get the Mango Cheesecake Bingsoo, presentation was top-notch with fresh mangoes and mango jam in the middle. Bonus: there were hints of cheesecake on the side!
I used to rate Hobing always next to Cafe Seolhwa, yet times have changed. The cheese bingsu here is spectacular!
The shaved ice was definitely on-point creamy and milky, complimenting the sweet-salty balanced taste of their cheesecake bits. Best paired with a drizzle of condensed milk to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings better. This is free flowing (self-service) in this branch.
The best part about this branch is the service, by the way. It was the first time I heard them recommend that a small order is enough for two people. Normally, they'd push you to order more which isn't economical and not tummy-fulfilling as well. The server here was also nice. They also have wifi, plus they have the most well-lit restroom I've ever seen. Haha!
Anyway, get the cheese bingsu! Yummy!
Great place to chill, work, have meetings or meet with friends. The ambience is fresh, bright and photogenic.
Here’s what my friends and I ordered and shared:
Banana Mango Bing Su - the banana and mango combo is surprisingly good.
Cheese Bing Su - we love this! The cheesecake bits were perfect with the bing su!
Strawberry Shortcake - soft and not too sweet.
Caramel Macchiato - best served hot.
Tteok-bokki is my most favorite. I can understand why the waiting time takes more than 15 minutes. Their bingsu is just fine. I have to ask for more milk so I can get the taste that I like.
