Dessert cafés are nothing new, but a new wave of Korean dessert spots has been steadily popping up in Klang Valley. From fluffy bingsu to chewy rice cakes, these cafés are putting the spotlight on distinct desserts. If you’re someone with a sweet tooth and seeking something new to try, here are a few stops to explore in Klang Valley.
Hanbing Korean Dessert Café
When it comes to Korean bingsu in the Klang Valley, Hanbing Korean Dessert Café is one of the names that often comes up. Located at NU Sentral Shopping Mall in KL, the café specialises in soft, airy snow ice desserts, served daily from 10 am to 10 pm.
Its menu features a variety of bingsu flavours, ranging from the classic Injeolmi Bingsu topped with nutty soybean powder and chewy rice cakes to refreshing fruit-based options such as Mango and Strawberry Bingsu.
Beyond its signature shaved ice, Hanbing also offers unique desserts such as the Omma of All Cheesecakes, a creamy cheesecake made with a blend of cheeses and a subtle blue cheese note for a more distinctive flavour.
Sul So Dam Korean Dessert Café
Another bingsu spot to add to your list is Sul So Dam Korean Dessert Café in Sri Petaling. Located at Jalan Radin Tengah, the café serves Korean-style snow ice from 12 pm until midnight most days, with slightly shorter hours on Saturday until 11:45 pm. Its menu features a mix of classic and creative bingsu flavours.
Its selection includes traditional favourites like Red Bean and Injeolmi Bingsu, topped with soybean powder and chewy rice cakes, as well as dessert-inspired options such as Oreo, Chocolate Banana, Mango Cheese, and Melon Bingsu. For a lighter choice, the Grapefruit Bingsu offers a refreshing citrus twist.
Binq Dessert
For those looking to try bingsu with more unconventional flavours, Binq Dessert in Sri Hartamas offers a creative take on the Korean shaved ice dessert. Located at Jalan 27/70A, Desa Sri Hartamas, the café serves bingsu daily from 1 pm to 11 pm, with extended hours until 11.30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Its menu features flavours that go beyond the usual fruit-based options, including the Dark Knight Bingsu made with dark chocolate, the refreshing Kamquat Jasmine Bingsu, and the Roasted Soybean Oolong Bingsu with nutty and tea-inspired notes.
Diners can also customise their desserts with over 10 toppings and specially curated bingsu combinations, making Binq Dessert a spot for those who want to explore different flavours of Korean shaved ice.
Jogak Bingsu
If you are looking to try a more traditional take on Korean shaved ice, Jogak Bingsu at Kompleks Pejabat Damansara, Bukit Damansara, offers a menu focused on classic Korean flavours. The café opens from Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday from noon to 8:30 pm, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 9:30 pm, and closed on Mondays.
Its menu features soybean-based bingsu, including the Misugaru Dol Bing, which combines red bean, injeolmi and soybean powder for a nutty flavour. The bingsu is also topped with chewy rice cakes and other traditional ingredients, offering a different style compared to the fruit and chocolate-based flavours commonly found at other bingsu cafés.
Besides bingsu, Jogak also serves Korean desserts such as hotteok, including flavours like pandan kaya and brown sugar with honey.
Siru Cafe
Moving beyond bingsu, Siru Cafe in Desa Sri Hartamas puts the spotlight on another Korean dessert favourite — tteok, or Korean rice cakes. Named after the traditional Korean steamer used to make rice cakes, the café focuses on handcrafted tteok desserts with a modern twist.
As Malaysia’s first Korean rice cake dessert speciality shop, Siru offers a variety of sweet and chewy treats, including traditional favourites like injeolmi tteok coated with nutty soybean powder, as well as colourful tteok creations paired with flavours such as strawberry, black sesame and other dessert-inspired combinations.
MyKori Dessert Cafe
Another spot that goes beyond bingsu as the highlight is MyKori Dessert Cafe. At its Kepong outlet in Laman Rimbunan, the café is open daily from 1:30 pm to 11:30 pm, making it a convenient stop for an afternoon treat or late-night dessert run.
Best known for its kakigori, MyKori serves shaved ice in flavours such as Mango Yogurt, Matcha, Chocolate, Strawberry and Oreo, topped with fruits, sauces and other sweet additions. The dessert menu also includes honey toasts, waffles, cakes and parfaits, offering plenty of choices whether you’re craving something icy, warm or indulgent.
Whether you prefer the familiar flavours of bingsu or want to a twist on Korean desserts, Klang Valley’s dessert cafés offer plenty of options to explore.
