Each country has their own iconic dessert and in Korea, bingsu – shaved ice with various sweet toppings – is a summer staple. This summer, Executive Pastry Chef Alexandre Chersouly and his pastry team at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul have prepared a World of Bingsu featuring seven unique bingsus inspired by various Four Seasons destinations around the world from Asia to Europe and Americas. Available at the Hotel’s lobby lounge Maru, the menu will rotate throughout the summer introducing a new bingsu every two weeks offering an endless diversity of flavours. In addition to World of Bingsu, guests can also enjoy three different classic, all-time favourite bingsus that can be packaged to-go at the Hotel’s pastry shop, Confections by Four Seasons.
