Every so often, we'll come across a bingsu that defies categories. The Purple Sweet Potato Milky Snow Mountain ($9.90) is one such dessert — buried beneath the mountain of bright purple snowy ice, nata de coco and red beans is a surprise centre: grass jelly! Expect the best of both worlds — Korean milky ice chiseled to snowy perfection, Taiwanese grass jelly, and mochi balls for some chewy goodness. Fancy something with a little less ice? The Gula Melaka and Soy Bean Curd Polo Ice ($6.80) might just be your thing — shovel beneath the small hill of shaved ice to reveal a heap of nata de coco, red beans and silky smooth soy beancurd. Located in Tiong Bahru Plaza at the new food wing, desserts here are at pocket-friendly prices — perfect for students looking to share a midday treat.
Avg price: $10 per person
