As I walk through the bustling streets of Seoul, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia for the days gone by. It’s been over 30 years since I left my home country to live overseas, and everything has changed so much since then.

But amidst the hustle and bustle of this vibrant city, there’s one thing that remains constant – the love of good food and drink. And every time I visit a Korean tea shop or even a humble hamburger stand, I can’t help but notice the jolly pong shake on the menu.

It’s funny, because despite having lived in Korea for many years before, I had never heard of this trendy drink until I came back recently. But out of curiosity, I decided to give it a try.

And oh, how glad I am that I did! With its sweet and creamy taste and crunchy texture, the jolly pong shake instantly transported me back to my childhood – banana milk is another one.

It’s no wonder that it has become such a hit with Koreans these days – and it warms my heart to see that even the world beyond Korea is starting to take notice.
