The Viral Korean Bingsoo Ice 

When the weather is hot, it is best if you enjoy a refreshing drink. Especially when you feel tired after touring the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace museum, one of the recommended drinks that the public can try is viral Korean Bingsoo Ice, which belongs to Mr. Irawan.

This Korean Bingsoo Ice is located near the Surakarta Palace on the street Sasono Mulyo, Baluwarti, Pasar Kliwon District, Surakarta. The beginning of opening a Korean Bingsoo Ice business was when the seller Irawan saw a video of his friend making Korean Bingsoo Ice.

“Then I asked a friend to send me this ice maker. So this machine was imported directly from a friend in Korea.” said Irawan when met at his ice shop Sunday, (13/11/2022).

In June 2020 he admitted that he started selling this ice, but sales were only around 20-40 cups. The price for Korean Bingsoo Ice is relatively cheap, only Rp10, 000 per cup.

“But since it went viral on Tiktok, sales of Korean Bingsoo Ice can reach 170-200 cups per day,” explained Irawan.

Korean bingsoo ice is open every day from 10.00 to 15.00 WIB. This ice has 7 flavors, namely chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, red velvet, matcha, mocha, and coffee. The most preferred favor by buyers is the strawberry. However, buyers must be patient when buying this ice because there are so many visitors that have to queue according to the number they get.

One customer, Denita, liked this Korean Bingsoo iced flavor, which was a sweet and refreshing blend.

“It feels fresh especially when enjoyed when the weather is hot like today,” said Denita.

She then told that she knew about this Korean Bingsoo ice from a Tiktok video that passed on her social media homepage. Finally she decided to visit the place with his friends.
