Through March 31: Andaz Seoul Gangnam in Apgujeong-dong, southern Seoul, launched a seasonal treat for winter dubbed the Andaz Strawberry Bingsu. Packed with fresh, ripe strawberries, this dessert has become a bestseller at the hotel and is now making waves with an even more stunning presentation this year.
 
Focusing on the pure flavor of strawberries, the dessert features large, fresh strawberries, strawberry sorbet, sweetened condensed milk and strawberry cream, all piled high in a refreshing bingsu (shaved ice) bowl. The dish also comes with a side of condiments, which includes a charming strawberry honeybee dessert made from honey mousse and a separate serving of strawberry compote. The transparent sugar tuile adds a dramatic flair, acting as a delicate garnish that pleases both the eye and the palate.
