O’ma Spoon Korean Dessert Café – Milk Flake Bingsu At Marina Square
The café which means “mother’s spoon” claims to be the “first milk flake Korean Bingsu in Singapore”. No bah. Aniyo. There were already Nunsongyee and Snowman Desserts which were using milk rather than water for shavings.
Pricing can be a little north. Other than the Patbingsu and Injoelmi which are still reasonable, the Choco Brownie, Mixed Berry to a rather steep Mango Berry Cheesecake may make customers think twice.
While the menu read ‘bingsu for 2 pax’, the portion felt like it was meant for one.
Ingredients such as the red bean ‘Korean pat’ and injeolmi are imported from Korea. The milk shaved ice was smooth and finely-shaved though, had a soft melt-in-your-mouth instantaneously effect.
In terms of ice texture alone, we could rate this top 5 in Singapore
The colourful ensemble of the Mixed Berry ($18.80) was eye catching with fresh strawberry, blueberry, and ice cream.
A word of caution: Test-eat your bingsu before you decide to add that cup of condensed milk (even though it is already diluted) because your dessert may end up too sweet.

Mr Desmond Theo was so taken with the dish that he set up Enak two years ago, selling nasi ambeng at his hawker stall in the Bedok South Market and Food Centre.
Priced at $6.50 for a single portion, $17 for two with extra meats, and $34 for four to five hungry foodies, each mound of rice is topped with fried shallots - always a winning visual for me - and a bowl of korma.
The rendang was savoury, rich, coconutty, and spicy, with some hints of sweetness and tenderness.
The chicken korma or "white curry" chicken was lemak (creamy) enough from the coconut milk.
I liked the sambal sotong or the cured sambal cuttlefish, which was extra soft.
The acar nanas - spicy and sour vegetable pickles with pineapples - helped cut the intensity. The salted egg was refreshing, as that bit of saltiness was agreeable with all that heat and spiciness.
The crunch came from the urap (spicy grated coconut and bean sprouts salad).
It seemed almost raw, which is how it should be, and the sweetness was a blessing.
The softness of the sambal terung (eggplant) was a nice reprieve from all the other textures, as was the begedil (potato patty), which was the only other non-spicy item on the platter.
The sambal goreng (sambal tofu and string beans) was the humble touch the meal needed and it did just that.
Address: Blk 16 Bedok South Road Market & Food Centre, Singapore 460016.
Opening hours: Opens daily till late lunch.
