~ Cute Turtle Bread from Jireh Bakery ~

The beautiful Elle from InsideOutElle blog kindly informed me that there's a nice little bakery by the spa I went to over the weekend.  So, I headed over there in search of the "turtle bread" she mentioned. 

The turtle bread is so cute!  This is how you are supposed to eat it...

There are 2 types of fillings:  cream cheese and blueberry cream cheese. I think the blueberry one is a little weird.  The bread itself is awesome, but I didn't care for the filling.

The regular cream cheese one is better.  I love cream cheese!!

After dinner, we went to check out the desserts and got this tiramisu cup.  It looks awesome!!!  It tastes nothing like tiramisu though.  And the chocolate cup is a little bit hard to eat.

There are plenty of other desserts though!  Probably will try the cheesecake next time.

 

I also got this loaf of corn and pumpkin bread.  It tastes like regular pound cake though.

I also got the chocolate (I think?) Mickey mouse bread and the strawberry cream cheese strawberry bread.  All very cute.  Really love the bread and the strawberry filling.  The chocolate is a little too sweet to me though.

All in all, it's a nice place.  They have binsoo too, but I didn't try that.  This place is easy to miss because it's kind of in its own building and there's a unit next to it that looks burnt out.  It has outdoor seating too, but I think it will look a lot nicer with some flowers.  It's a great place for desserts after dinner at Honey Pig :)  Thanks to Elle for introducing me to this place!

~ New Honey Pig at Centreville, VA ~

I briefly mentioned Honey Pig before, but really, this place deserves its own post.  Who doesn't like Honey Pig?  I used to go to the one in Annadale, but I found a new one!  It's right next to Spa World in Centerville.  What an awesome, relaxing day to go to spa, eat korean bbq at Honey Pig, grab some groceries at the Korean grocery store and have some desserts at Jireh's bakery across the street.... Anyway, here are some yummy pictures!  These are the side dishes....

This is the hangover soup.  What a funny name.  The meat is very tender and the soup is very flavorful.  To me, it tasted a little like lamb, but my friend says it's pork.

For 4 girls, we ordered 3 dishes... 2 pork bellies and 1 boneless beef.  I think the beef with bone is usually better though.  I love the pork bellies!  It's such a guilty pleasure.

At Honey Pig, the waitresses come by and cook for you.  They also give you some kim chi on the grill and lettuce and rice to go with the meat.  *drool*  So, 3 dishes and a soup was perfect for us 4 girls.  It's about $15/person so it was not bad at all.

As a side note, I saw live abalone at the grocery store next to honey pig!  I don't think I have ever seen live abalone in America before.  $6 each though!  I was tempted to get one just to see how it tastes.... but they look so creepy!
