(Hi there! Grace at your service. I’ll
try to not to be too wordy with my reviews (but just might slip from time to
time, starting now). Don’t worry, I only go to work during TTh so this won’t
get flooded with posts haha oh and of course the occasional weekend bingeing…
btw, nice to meet everyone!)

Megamall has a new wing! I know what you’re thinking, like it needed another
one, but yeah, they put it up anyway. I’ve only been to a few restaurants there
and I’ve been asked to write reviews to share with everyone here. Hmm.. Maybe
that wasn’t a good introduction at all! Hey, don’t make me visit each and every
restaurant there okay?! LOL
The
dessert place has a very cozy ambiance *insert K-drama scene here*. Wooden
chairs and tables, white walls, curt staff.. the place is small so they set up
chairs outside the café. I chose the one with the cushion and the farthest from
the counter and other customers so I could enjoy my dessert in peace (but no, not
really, I just needed an excuse to take a selfie with my food).
And
after 15mins, the monstrous dessert came. It’s so pretty to look at and
DEFINITELY Instagram-able.
Mango Cheese Bingsu
Shaved
milk ice lined the bottom of the bowl, layered with mangoes and cheese(cake?)
chunks. The shaved ice was reminiscent of the one I tried in Myeongdong from my
SK trip last November. I would guess that they laced each layer with milk and
cheese sauce, too. It was filled to the brim and the bowl was lined with, you
guessed it, more mangoes, to hold everything in place. It was topped with a
very generous portion of whipped cream, sprinkled with thinly sliced almonds,
and finally drizzled with mango sauce. Overall taste was not too sweet, which I really like. The mangoes appeared to be very ripe, but they had a slight sour taste, which went well with the sweetness of milk. Cheesecake was ok and I like how it turned almost gummy after being chilled over ice.
I’ve
only an hour at most for lunch breaks and my office is at Discovery Suites. It’s
a 5-10 minute walk, depending on your pace really, but since the café took its
sweet time to prepare my dessert, I had to double up the pace so I get to my
office (NOT) on time. And writing this review, almost 3hrs later, I still feel
so full.
Verdict: 3.5/5
Good
place for dessert, actually, scratch that. Good place for whenever because it’s
dessert, you got to have it any time. Just visit it with a friend or two! And please
share a regular bowl. Take your time enjoying the dessert. Don’t make the same
mistake as I did. J
