Ocio 窩夫專門店

Hi everyone!

It's been a long time since I have posted and I apologise for that. I've been super busy with university and having work thrown at me so, have to deal with priorities first!

Anyways, I recently visited Ocio again. The first time I went was with my friend in July when she came back from Canada. Last time, we ate dinner and dessert so it was a bit pricey. Recently, I visited again with one of my classmates and we just went for dessert since we were a bit too full for anything.

Nevertheless, it's a good place for desserts, not too pricey and its definitely worth it because the presentation and the taste is SO good. I can just stress on how amazing the desserts taste but of course, it's my preference and some people may find it a bit too sweet or not sweet enough, etc.

Review:

Right, so these are the chocolate crepes with strawberries, served with chocolate ice cream. Can I just say how BOMB these crepes are? The crepes are soft, but not too flimpsy that they break easily. The whole thing is so chocolatey, with chocolate sauce, stuffed with strawberries under the folds of crepes, and the chocolate ice cream? Oh what a perfect combination! In my opinion, it isn't too sweet and I would definitely eat this again because seriously, chocolate overload with strawberries is basically my idea of HEAVEN.

Next up, we have the chocolate pudding (or lava cake) with vanilla ice cream! I didn't try this one but apparently it tasted good at first, but as you get into it, it just gets too sweet. The vanilla ice cream is good though (as according to my friend), and if you eat the vanilla ice cream with the lava cake, it's basically heaven in your mouth. Seriously.

This time I just came for dessert. Their dinner menu was quite expensive and I was short of money so... Dessert comes first!

Snow Story 눈이야기

Hi everyone!

I am really excited to blog about Snow Story! I have been seeing these desserts all over Openrice and been very intrigued by how cute and delicious they look! I decided to go one day with a few of my friends since class got cancelled and there you have it, another one of Sheryle's random food adventures! We reached Snow Story at about 3:30pm, and it was already quite crowded. The space is very limited, so hopefully you go at the right time. Anytime from 4-6pm is sure to be crowded with schoolgirls/boys!

The three flavours I tried were Oreo, Macaron and Original. There were obviously other flavours, but well, my stomach can only take in so much! I really wanted to try the ice cream sandwiched macaron, but perhaps I will next time.

Snow Story 눈이야기, so pink!

Review: 

Okay, so this one is the original flavour bingsu. I didn't eat this one, but I did have a bite of it. It's mostly a slush of ice with condensed milk, nuts, mochi and injeolmi powder! I didn't fancy the nuts too much, and the mochi was a bit hard to chew. It tasted quite bland compared to the Oreo and Macaroon bingsu, but then again, it's original right? To be honest, I thought it was quite disappointing because the Injeolmi bingsu was supposed to be the most well-known flavour in bingsu shops, but it tasted average.

So this one, is the Oreo Sherbet! Snow Story was really generous in giving about 6 Oreos, with lots and lots of Oreo crumbs! It was delicious! Adding condensed milk really enhances the flavour, and hey, this is coming from someone who doesn't prefer condensed milk! Make sure you mix it really well and eat it together with the ice cream! Overall, I must say that this is a really good dish if you want to try, it's also one of the more popular bingsu choices among teenagers.

Last but not least, this is the Snow Rainbow Macaron Sherbet! I didn't eat this one as well but I did sample a little! It's a very girly dessert at first glance, so having a guy eat this dessert is a bit awkward and funny! It is a very colourful dessert, with a scoop of strawberry ice cream, multi-coloured macarons and spoonfuls of colourful flakes. It tastes very sweet because of the macarons, but adding condensed milk makes it even sweeter! This dessert seems to be very popular among girls because of its presentation, but it tasted alright from my experience.

Price: 

The price ranges depending on what you order. Usually, it costs about $50-60 depending on the flavour. If you're interested in the ice cream sandwich macaron, it's about $38.
