Banana Tree Review: Win Bae Over With A Pretty Flower Pot Bingsu On Valentine’s Day

At Banana Tree , a Korean dessert cafe that serves pretty desserts, you can get all three boxes checked! Flower Pot Bingsus At Banana Tree Are Perfect For V-day Dessert at Banana Tree What is Valentine’s Day without flowers?

Surprise bae without going broke with Pot Bing Su ($12.50) , a red bean bingsu disguised as a potted sunflower. Underneath the plastic sunflower was a scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream and a generous amount of red bean seated atop finely shaved ice.

The milky ice-cream was way too sweet for my liking, but the shaved ice managed to prevent the dessert from being cloying. Another cutie on the menu is Banana Flower Pot Pudding ($6.50) .

The banana savour stood out from the creamy vanilla-based pudding, and I found small chunks of banana puree in it. The Oreo ‘soil’ made a great topping as it injected a little chocolate taste without overpowering the rest of the pudding.

Drinks at Banana Tree Ditch latte art for Matcha Som Som Latte (Hot) ($6.50) . Accessorised with a fluffy puff of cotton candy made right before serving, this matcha latte is one for you to take your V-day couple shots with.

The cotton candy itself was nothing special, but melting it into the drink was! The latte was rich in matcha taste and smooth in consistency.

It wasn’t too sweet and had a bitter aftertaste, so melting a small fluff of cotton candy into it made it just nice. Ambience at Banana Tree Aptly, Banana Tree has adorable banana props littered around the cafe.

With a cute mural, fairy lights hanged on a glass ceiling, and a dart board, it reminded me of my cafe-hopping days in Seoul. For the forever-last-minute peeps, Banana Tree is here to save you. There’s a shelf with jewellery and adorable mugs for sell-off, so you can get a gift on the spot!

The verdict Banana Tree isn’t a cafe I’d frequent, but it’s definitely one I’d wanna tick off from my list of cafes to visit. It’s a chill spot for you and your friends to hang out at, and a great place to up your Instagram game at as well. Not to forget, if you need a little help for Valentine’s day, here’s the recommendation I would offer.
