Satiating my sweet tooth


I finally partook in some waffle eating for a glorious afternoon snack (a really decadent snack!) with some great friends.

(Below: Hayeon and Jieun. Hayeon will also be in Beijing for the year! Beijing is the place to be!)

On another afternoon, Jieun, Jeesun, Kicheon and I had on of South Korea's famous sweets, patbingsu. Patbingsu is essentially flavored ice, normally served with sweet red beans. Ours was served with ice cream and rice cake on top. Deliciousness!

On another search for something sweet and after a long day of touring palaces (post to come soon), we ate a cutesy snack shaped like a poo. Actually, these breads are quite common in Korea but usually in the shape of a fish and called "blowfish bread." But someone came up with the cool and crazy idea of creating a poo mold! WOWSY! The bread was glutinous filled with red bean paste and rather tasty, although perhaps you can see from the picture below what it is imitating?? Eek!

(p.s. please don't send Anne-Reed hate mail about this last post. Jieun contributed to some of the more graphic details. )



What it should be..
