First Snow uses only high quality and rich milk with fresh fruits as toppings, ensuring that their signature bingsoo always tastes amazing. While it can look a little similar to the local dish ice kacang (or ABC), First Snow’s bingsoos have a unique milky taste that makes the finely shaved ice feel creamy and rich tasting.
