Pluseighttwo Review: BTOB’s Eunkwang’s Korean Dessert Cafe At Dhoby Ghaut

When we headed down to the launch of Pluseighttwo , our eyes absolutely lit up. This cafe is the epitome of #aesthetics, and I’m not only talking about its design.

BTOB’s Eunkwang’s Korean Dessert Cafe At Dhoby Ghaut | Pluseighttwo Food at Pluseighttwo What blew us away was how different their Siltarae Bingsu ($17.90) looks. Stringy and fine, the bingsu reminded me of strands of silk thread.

Even though from the outside it looked like strands of thread, the bingsu crumbled in contact, like freshly slipped snow. Our favourite was the chocolate siltarae bingsu.

If you’re a fan of the Binggrae Banana Milk from Korea, you would love the banana siltarae bingsu. Aside from siltarae bingsu, the more common type of bingsu is served here as well.

Starting at $15.90 , these come in flavours such as Oreo, injeolmi, strawberry, and melon. The prices of smaller portions that come in cups start at $6.80 .

The milky shavings tasted great on their own, and we didn’t need to add more milk like we usually do at other bingsu cafes in Singapore. It reminded me of the time when videos of people mixing wet paint blew up on Instagram, and was even considered a form of ASMR.

Ice Cube Soda ($7.50) features a pitcher of soda and a cup of raspberries and pineapples frozen into ice cubes. While the streets of Korea are peppered with such cafes with differentiated concepts, the cafe scene in Singapore is saturated with cafes that look similar, and give off a more cosy vibe. A hopeless romantic like myself just could not help but fall in love with the wood and white marble decor, as well as details such as fresh flowers and lush green plants that give off the Kinfolk magazine vibe.

This dessert cafe is a great place for you to bring your date to after a movie at The Cathay or Plaza Singapura. It also makes a comfortable place to chill at and people-watch from the window seats.

Though the desserts are on the pricier side, the food justifies a visit when you’re in the area or when you’re looking for a spot for some after-dinner indulgence. With K-pop star Eunkwang being part of the team that heads the cafe, BTOB fans can pop by to try their luck at spotting him too!
