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!

Finally tried Hobing for the first time last Wednesday with my doormates at their BGC Stopover Branch and it was really great! � The food, particularly the desserts, were delicious especially the Mango Bingsu and Injeolmi Toast. In addition, the prices are very affordable and the food is good for sharing because it comes in large servings. � The ambiance of the cafe was also very cozy. I also liked that they play Kpop MVs and Kdramas on the TV for the customers to enjoy while waiting for their orders. All in all, it was a sweet experience. I'm definitely coming back to this cafe to try the other desserts and food they have in store for their customers. Thank you Hobing Korean Dessert Cafe for satisfying my sweet cravings! Kamsahamnida! ���
