Turtle Melon Bread




How have I managed to live in Korea for 2+ years and never notice turtle melon bread before today? 

These pastries are just so darn cute, and after spotting them earlier at E-Mart (where else?!), I'm super curious to know what they taste like.

Readers, weigh in:  is turtle melon bread worth deviating from my South Beach Diet regime?

  1. A picture of the turtle bread is worth 1000 bites. I think I'd pass and just leave it in the file under "cute".

  2. No way, the picture speaks for itself - all cute and colorful with no "taste" factor.

  3. Valid points, both of you. Thanks for the advice. I'll skip the tasting!

  5. I just came across your blog and I love it. I'll have to check out Lucy when I am ready for a haircut :) I'm so glad that you mentioned that you're on the South Beach Diet! I've been on it for about 3 months with incredible success, after I've been dieting for the last 15odd years it's by far my favorite. I've lost 25 lbs with only light exercise. BUT I'm so nervous about coming to Korea and how/if I'll be able to stick to it there. Did you have trouble? All the white rice scares me because it's my weakness...I wasn't sure how hard it would be to find sugar free/whole wheat there. Any advice?

  6. Any advice for doing the South Beach Diet in Korea? I've been on it for 3 months and I'm moving to Seoul in a month and I'm nervous about how much I'll be able to stick to it. White rice was one of the hardest things for me to give up (I still cave every now and then) so I'm worried about finding whole wheat and sugar free replacements there.
