Last Sunday, I convinced Cynthia to embark on a Hangul Bingsu adventure, and it turned out to be an utterly delightful experience, especially for a first-timer like me!
The anticipation and the first taste of the fluffy ice and delectable toppings were truly unforgettable.
Penang’s scorching heat and humidity had me longing for a refreshing treat, but eating ice cream, ABC, or Cendo,l daily wasn’t cutting it.
