Paris Baguette's 7 Summer Offerings

무더위에 파리바게뜨의 COOL SUMMER 7 과 함께하세요

1. Fruit Shaved ice, 2. Green Tea Shaved Ice, 3. Iced Coffee, 4. Strawberry Smoothie, 5. Green Tea Frappe, 6. Fruit Cup Shaved Ice, 7. Green Tea Cup Shaved Ice. The smoothie and iced coffee go for around $2.50, while the frappe and shaved ice in tall plastic cups are priced at around $3.50. The large dishes of patbingsu will set you back $7.50.

What I can commend as new / novel about Paris Baguette’s offerings is the inclusion of Green Tea in the Korean ice treat (“dessert”) Patbingsoo, which traditionally consists of just shaved ice and red beans.

I’d been familiar with Vegemil as a brand of soy milk so I was very surprised to see this at the store. Green tea???

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be soy milk flavored with green tea.

On the Tetra-Pak Label: The refreshing taste of green tea contains soybean oligosaccharide, dietary fiber, isoflavones, polyphenol and catechin.
