Bingsu may be one of the best desserts in town to share with a group of friends, but things may turn awry when everyone just can’t agree on a flavour. The solution? — a personal, customizable, bingsu bowl.
At just $6.90 — a slash from the usual $16 most bingsu cost — you may choose an ice-cream flavour and two additional toppings, creating your own handy concoction. True to its name — a truncation of “bingsu on the go” — the elongated design of the bowl makes it easy for you to carry and enjoy it on the move.

Despite the uprising of ice-cream parlours with their hipster flavours and charcoal waffles, Cold Stone Creamery remains rock-solid on its two feet — and it may well be due to its innovation.

Well-loved for its theatrics and taste, Cold Stone is also popular for its mix-ins — the candy, chocolate, fruit, cake, and sauce toppings that will be folded into an ice-cream scoop of your choice. With what may be the largest selection of toppings in any ice-cream parlour, Cold Stone ensures that you are able to enjoy a creation unique to you.

Sizes available are ‘Like It’ (4 oz) at $6.00, ‘Love It’ (6 oz) at $8.50, and ‘Gotta Have It’ (8 oz) at $10.50. Do note that the prices stated are only limited to two mix-ins no matter the size, but you may add more at $1 each.

When lava toast became all the rage, dozens of cafes quickly jumped onto the bandwagon, offering their own rendition of it. It’s easy to find yourself lost in this tsunami of bread, but one stands out with its customizability — The Bakery Chef.

At $14.80, create an extremely Instagrammable piece of art. First, pick your bread — charcoal, matcha, or brioche. Next, the filling — salted egg, Nutella, or matcha. And finally, the ice-cream flavour — chocolate, matcha, or vanilla. What results is a beautiful, incredibly oozy piece of toast, ready to be featured on your Instagram feeds, and then devoured.
