Caffe Bene . Gelato and Waffle.

Finally I had a day out with Shyang after one week plus I came back for semester break. The first weekend he couldn't make it to go out with me and finally he can make it on the  following weekend.. I have been waiting for the day like so so much :/ lol Thou it was just like a normal outing that we usually had but we didn't hang out together for quite a long time already. 

I feel like travelling so much, but he has to work everyday now besides Sunday. Poor thing.

We usually went to Pg on weekdays because it won't be so crowded and parking fees are much cheaper than weekend. But no choice.. we made it on Sunday which was yesterday. 

I brought him to Caffe Bene in Gurney Paragon because I have seen some recommendation on those pictures from social medias and I would love to have a try with him.

We reached there around 4.30p.m. something in the afternoon after rushing from our late lunch at Gurney Plaza. It was crowded and the queue was long. We kept searching for empty seats because it was full house there. Thank God that he has found an empty seat after I have placed my order at the counter. 

These were the things I ordered. They serve their popular bingsu and waffles. 

This is the Cookies and Cream bingsu, so far there are only 4 types of bingsu there. One of them will be cookies and cream which is from Oreo biscuits. Another three will be Green tea, Coffee and the last one is Choco evil bingsu. Their upcoming bingsu in GP mall will be strawberry :)

*Fyi, Bingsu is a very popular snack/dessert in Korea, especially during the summer season. This snack is composed of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, various fruits, chewy jelly bits, and cereal flakes. It is often topped with ice cream or frozen yogurt.*

This is the tiramisu waffle. They serve different types of waffles and I wonder which to choose at the first place. Hence I choose this due to the popular demand from customers. To be honest, I am not a waffle lover when it comes to waffles AS desserts. I am ok with the normal type of peanut-butter-waffle lol but when people turn waffles to dessert like ice cream on top or with different types of toppings, I find it common in terms of the taste and price. The same thought goes to shyang as well. Nonetheless, surprisingly, their tiramisu waffle surprised us because it tasted different! :) The ice cream is smooth and rich in taste. The waffle was evenly baked and the taste is just nice because it wasn't too sweet.! :) Worth  a try! 

The next thing I like is about " How to order". They have placed three samples of different types of bingsu and also different types of waffles and desserts with price at the counter. Thus, when you're lining up and waiting for your turn to order, you can refer to the samples. *Btw,the samples are fake, not the real bingsu and desserts,I mean it served as the purpose of reference* I think customers (included me) always prefer to have a menu with pictures and prices in order to make an order, so when I saw they placed the samples for us, I found it convenient and easy to make my order. :) 

It is very thoughtful of them because they gave me a piece of paper with the instruction on "How to eat Bingsu" after I made my order. Well, frankly, I always thought the only way to eat bingsu is actually start from the top and layer by layer. Honestly, before that I always doubt and ask myself " So if I order cookies and cream bingsu, which means when I eat the middle layer of that plain ice, it is just simply that plain and tasteless ice? ". Besides, previously when I browsed through the social medias, I even saw people commented that their bingsu is not nice because the ice is plain and tasteless. I think this is because they didn't mix the bingsu well or maybe Caffe Bene did not provide the instruction for them in the beginning. But now they gave the instruction to everyone and we can enjoy our bingsu happily :) haha. 

This was the end product after mixing and it was ready to eat lol. Shyang said " yer, looks like cereal" hahaha. It tasted good because there were red beans inside as well o.O wow. But we couldn't finish it probably because we found that the bottom part was slightly sweeter. 

There are some people said it tastes just like Oreo Mcflurry with red beans, but yea, what can you expect when there are Oreo cookies and cream? More or less the taste will be the same right, it can't go beyond that, well, for me la lol. But overall, we were happy because finally we fixed our cravings :D
