Co-founded by the leader of Korean boy band BTOB, Seo Eunkwang, PlusEightTwo burst onto the Singapore Korean dessert cafe scene just when you thought the trend of Korean dessert cafes was becoming a thing of the past. Along with the usual snowflake bingsu you get at most Korean dessert shops, PlusEightTwo also offers Siltarae bingsu ($17.90), where the shaved ice comes almost as fine as silk threads, in three flavours; matcha, chocolate, and banana. The regular snow flake bingsu comes in a variety of flavours including melon and strawberry, with two sizes; cup ($6.80 – $7.80) or regular ($15.90 – $18.90).
Avoiding lunch and dinner time, the cafe’s minimalistic open-concept industrial space with marble table tops and pockets of green creates a light-hearted and casual atmosphere that makes it perfect for chilling with your friends while snapping that Instagram-worthy shot. While you’re at it, grab a refreshing ice cube soda ($7.50) in grapefruit, green grape, or peach to quench your thirst after a day out in Singapore’s humid weather.
