Korean Dessert Makes US Debut at The Source OC
The luxury brand of Korean bingsoo (shaved ice) just expanded to Orange County with the opening of Mealtop opening at The Source OC in Buena Park. Its second SoCal spot will open in Los Angeles Koreatown on Saturday, June 28 at 2 p.m. At the grand opening celebration, the first 50 people in line will receive a FREE Shaved Ice! Visitors can also score branded mugs, shirts and hats while supplies last.
The menu at Mealtop features a multitude of authentic bingsoo. All of Mealtop’s Bingsoo variations include four classic ingredients: soft shaved ice, braised red beans, chewy rice cakes, and sweet condensed milk.
The cast-iron braised sweet-but-savory red beans are the most important aspect, while the other three play equal parts in the taste of Korean tradition. All of the flavors come together in harmony and every ingredient is either made in-house using traditional techniques or locally sourced.
In addition to traditional shaved ice, Mealtop also offers other items such as lattes from South Korea (Bibibig Latte, Orange Latte, and Babamba Latte), and desserts such as Ang Butter Bread and more.
Open 10:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Monday – Sunday.
The Source OC is at 6940 Beach Boulevard, Suite C311 in Buena Park.
Koreatown DTLA is at 450 S Western Ave. Suite 308 in Los Angeles.
