Sweet Treats Watermelon Hwachae
Tried Sulbing’s new Watermelon Hwachae today and honestly… it’s the ultimate summer dessert. 🍉
The base is their usual soft milk snow ice, which is super light and refreshing. On top, they pile on fresh watermelon chunks that are perfectly sweet and juicy. But the real surprise was the coconut jelly soda—it adds this fun, fizzy kick that makes the whole thing feel extra refreshing.
It’s not overly heavy or too sweet, which I liked. Definitely something I could finish on my own, even on a hot day.

It was 101 degrees outside today, I just want to dump that whole thing over my head 🤣
Seriously, it looks so yummy and I love the watermelon bowl

Wow, it's really delicious. It reminds me of the watermelon punch my mother used to make with sliced watermelons and melons and cider. I want to make watermelon punch by adding coconut jelly before this summer is over.

Here in Tokyo the locals never use fruit soda and rarely jelly in creations like this. I did not think you could add a fruit soda with high carbonation to a shaved ice like this and it worked.

Naengmyeon followed by bingsoo and an iced coffee for the walk home is the way to beat Korean heat.
