O'ma Spoon Korean Dessert Cafe @ Somerset 313

Words by Miss XS

Korean dessert cafes is popping up all over the Singapore in these last few months, with more cafes offering Korean sweets in the food scene. Back into the days when I was a kid, the closest thing I had was ice kacang from hawker centres - which I crave whenever the day is hot. Shavings of ice, topped with colorful syrup and mixed with generous amount of red beans, sweet corn and atap seeds: yum! Then, came the Taiwanese versions of shaved ice with unique flavours like green tea, sesame, chocolate and strawberry. Man! We have been spoilt, and now, I no longer love ice kacang with the same intensity that I used to, especially since some of the Korean shaved ice I've had offers a smoother and milkier consistency.  

O'ma spoon, a locally born and bred establishment, sources its ingredients and machinery from Korea. Menu includes Bingsu and Toast with a limited selection of cakes. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and there was a snaking queue formed waiting for seats. There was 2 queues- one to place order and another was the queue for seats. Fortunately the queue moved pretty quickly and we made a smart move to place our order at the counter while awaiting for a place to seat- we got our food shortly after we got our seats.


CALORIES
We tried the Mango Berry Cheesecake, one of the popular choice recommended by the staff. It was generously topped with fresh mangos, cranberries, almond flakes, a slice of cheesecake and a scoop of ice-cream. The shaved ice was fine and smooth and melts in the mouth instantly to a creamy texture. It was a good bowl of Bingsu but I find it a little too sweet towards the end and i wish they could do less with the condensed milk. 

Overall, It was a decent experience. Given its prime location smack right in the middle of Orchard road, we can expect the crowd to continue.
