Any questions about ingredients, however, were laid to rest by the nutrition label, which I quote here in its entirety: "Confectionery be made of selected materials the original handmade."

It was just steamed milk with sweet potato. It was pretty disappointing. I added coffee to it when I got home and it improved the taste. I imagine adding a shot of espresso to it (and making it an actual latte) would make it 10 times better.

The savory pasteries I've had a Shilla have been really good and they'll warm them up for you. I especially liked spinach croissant and the croquettes (one was filled with Kimchi, maybe?), though the croquettes can be a little greasy, it's good tasting grease :-) dzoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337244607409694673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-9603424288901157802013-11-21T16:51:37.235-05:002013-11-21T16:51:37.235-05:00Seems like sweet potato is a specialty of sorts at...Seems like sweet potato is a specialty of sorts at Shilla. I always "sample" the sweet potato pound cake multiple times, but haven't bought a whole loaf yet.
