1/9
OW:L Espresso
Since the name of this cafe has the word 'espresso' in it, you've got to try their coffee variation of the Korean bingsu which is possibly one of the most amazing renditions you can find in Malaysia. This affogato bingsu is a mix of vanilla ice-cream, azuki beans and a delicious shot of espresso - a perfect dose of caffeine to your every day.A-02-1 (1st Floor), Menara Rajawali, Jalan SS15/8, Subang JayaPhoto: OW:L Espresso Facebook

dal.komm Coffee
DOTS fans, you guys are probably loyal customers of this place already, considering how Song Joong Ki frequented dal.komm so much in the popular drama himself. The bingsu here is served up in a signature U cup, and topped generously with ice cream, fruits and sometimes even a slice of cake! dal.komm offers seasonal flavours when the time is due, so make sure you catch them before it's too late!OS 301, Level 3, Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala LumpurPhoto: dal.komm Cafe Facebook

Caffebene
Offering the usual bingsu flavours like coffee, strawberry and green tea, Caffebene is another convenient location to grab your Korean dessert fix. However, what's special about this place is that they are now offering bingsu twice the size for a discounted price, only for the month of Ramadan. So, really, what are you waiting for?K-G-04, Solaris Mon't Kiara, No.2, Jalan Solaris, Kuala LumpurPhoto: Caffebene Malaysia Facebook

Namoo
Being the first Korean dessert cafe in Malaysia to serve authentic Korean food such as the bingsu you see over here, you'll have to expect some delicacies you've never seen in your life. However, just because they may look strange to you does not mean they taste any less amazing. The King's Bingsu offered at this cafe is filled with nutritious and flavourful ingredients that will definitely satisfy your tummy.Publika, Level G3, Lot 4A, Solaris Dutamas No.1, Jalan Dutamas 1, Kuala LumpurPhoto: Namoo

We can't believe how generous Seoul Bing is with their fruit bingsu either! They have the usual favourites like injeolmi and black sesame, and some alternative renditions like this berry bingsu and a mango cheese variety. Whatever you choose, it will certainly be an excellent refresher to your day.G-46, PV128, Jalan Genting Kelang, Kuala LumpurPhoto: Seoul Bing Facebook

Hanbing Korean Dessert Cafe
This is a place where you can satisfy your Korean food and dessert cravings all in one convenient little shop. Famous in Korea and in Hong Kong, this Bangsar outlet is their first outlet in Malaysia, and already shooting up the popularity rankings. By freezing condensed milk instead of water, you'll get sweetness in every bite!33 Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar, Kuala LumpurPhoto: Hanbing Korean Dessert Cafe Facebook

Beans N Beans
Oh my, doesn't this look sinful? Beans N Beans is one of the latest additions to the Korean dessert scene in town, and offers their Green Tea bingsu as their bestseller. If you're looking for something different to try, however, go for their caramel popcorn bingsu, a very rich but interesting combination of caramelised popcorn, caramel candies and caramel drizzle.

As if the Korean drama fever wasn’t enough, Korean merchandise and Korean food have also made it all over South East Asia, Malaysia included. It is therefore no surprise that the latest dessert craze in town happens to originate from Korea as well. Bingsu cafes have been all the rage lately, and our cravings for the sweet dessert only seem to worsen each time we indulge in them.

Thankfully, Kuala Lumpur has heard our cries, and Korean dessert cafes have been obediently popping up all over the capital to satisfy our hunger for the decadent shaved ice confectionery. The great thing is, you probably won't get the same taste at each of these places. In order to attract customers from far and wide, every cafe tries to offer a distinct and unique touch to the bingsu so that you'll want to come back for more. For a dessert that two or three can easily share, it is certainly an affordable treat for your senses, so there's no reason you shouldn't be trying out all our top picks in our gallery above!
