I found the name of the ice cream monstrosity!
Apparently Kyle's crazy Froot Loop-tasting ice cream dish (from Thursday night) has a name: patbingsu. According to another blogger ( http://english.visitseoul.net/visit2007en/aboutseoul/whyseoul/whyseoul.jsp?cid=46&sid=1654 ):
"There isn't a café or restaurant in Seoul that you can't find this crushed ice and red bean dish. It has evolved from the simple (crushed ice, sweetened red beans, roasted bean powder, and some rice cake) to its current iteration, a monstrosity of shaved ice, fruit (kiwi, strawberry, peaches, watermelon, and tomato), ice cream, corn flakes, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and (the essential) candied rice cake (duk: 떡). The formula might change a bit, but it's like iced bibimbap. You take it all and mix it up. My favorite game is duk hunting. You get a couple of people together and fish around this delicious concoction to find the candied rice cake. The winner gets to bask in the envy of the other competitors."

Lori, I didn't read your blog for like a weekend, and I have like 10 billion to catch up on!
Anyway, pat bing soo is pretty awesome. I like it with condensed milk, the colorful chapsaldduk (sweet rice cakes), bean powder, ice cream, and of course, pat (sweet red beans).
Oh, p.s. the jelly things are jelly. It's the korean equivalent of gummy bears in ice cream, except the korean kind is less tough when icy cold.
