Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Molly's Pops

Molly's Pops (몰리스팝스) is one of the most famous places for foreigners, locals, adults, and children of all ages. For what reason? For their ice pops. Molly's pops is the one place in Seoul that offers fun and amazing flavor to all guests for their refreshing ice pops. For just $3 a pop, that pretty much beats the price of any convenient store ice cream, as well as my ultimate favorite Baskin Robbins. Molly's Pops take ice pops to another level by incorporating all kinds of flavors.

The best sellers are of course the ones made with booze for a different kind of kick as well as the signature Wasabi. Yes, a wasabi ice pop. As peculiar as it may sound, this bizarre food is actually not so bad when incorporated in a popsicle stick. Refreshing and cold, there is definitely enough of a taste of wasabi at the end that surprises you. 

Although they are labeled as an ice pop, the texture of the popsicles are extremely milky to the point where they melt in your mouth. It is a smooth blend of amazing flavor, incorporating all things good from sweet to tart and tangy. It is all things good on a stick you can't go wrong with that or any choice of ice pops at Molly's pops. 

This small shop is located from exit 8 of the Hongdae station on line 2. Take a right into the first block when you walk out of the station and follow the block straight down after you pass the curved road on your left (technically walk on it). Go to the very end until you hit a dead end and make a left. Molly's Pops will be on your right within a two blocks walk.

Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Snow Spoon

Being that I was addicted to Pinkberry back at home, I had to find the Korean equivalent. Snow Spoon, a Korean chain yogurt shop incorporates Pinkberry yumminess and the 16 Handles concept by allowing you, the customer to choose your frozen yogurt and variety of toppings. Paying by weight allows you to mix and match all flavors. It is great for those who are looking to consume a certain amount of ice-cream. I should be speaking on behalf of my diet, but we can ignore that for the moment.

There is not one flavor from Snow Spoon that I do not like! Snow Spoon is the only place where you will find a blue soda, labeled as "blue" which is cider. These are all a must try and for those of you who are looking for something not so variety, there are pre made ice-cream sandwiches and such which you can pick up and enjoy. As for everyone else, be careful because this store can literally be the death of you with flavorful yogurts and a toppings station with all sorts of goodies, including whip cream and syrups!

Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Patbingsu 팥빙수

Bingsu 빙수 an Asian dessert dish that is perfect for the hot weather is the ultimate sweet tooth satisfaction and summer remedy. The Korean take on the Bingsu called patbingsoo 팥빙수 consists of the basic sweet red bean, fruits, sweet condensed milk, freshly shaved ice and topped with icecream. This dish ranges from location to location, but it is definitely worth the cool down and snack to share with someone on a humid day. The price and size of this dessert range from $4-10 depending on location, but it can be found at almost every cafe in Korea. The only difference between Bingsu in Korea and back at home is the selection of ingredients in your dessert.
