📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Patbingsu is an iced dessert said to date back to the Joseon dynasty, when it was a luxury enjoyed only at court. Today the standard is milk frozen and shaved into snowy flakes, piled with sweet red beans, rice cakes, kinako, and condensed milk. It's evolved with café culture, and creative versions with fruit or cheesecake are popular too.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a café in summer, friends share one big bowl of patbingsu, each with their own spoon.
