City-slick Korean chicks know what media to watch for the best and brightest of what’s to be - and for years the bible to what was popular in the states was Sex and The City.  Whatever it was to American women, whatever the controversy and silliness, young Korean women understood it as a benchmark of what was trendy.  And so when Charlotte was seen strolling arm and arm with her sweetie and a sweet treat, it became inevitable that Tasti D-Lite would find its way here to Korea . . .

And so it has. The lower fat, lower sugar soft serve concoction is available from two different Seoul locations, in Hongdae and in Ichon. Creamy and smooth, it makes a nice change from the normal frozen yogurt. While it may not yet match the silkiness of McD’s soft serve or pack the yogurt tang of Red Mango, the health promises may well have sway over the legions of young ladies watching their waistlines here. Whether or not you’re looking to keep your girlish figure, Fatman thinks this is a mighty tasty dessert. With daily changes in flavor, you can keep going back to sample the goods without getting bored easily, either. When we sampled, the chocolate had nice depth, but it was the blackberry flavor that managed to win our raves with a really solid punch of fruit that made it stand out from the usual lineup of frozen yogurts.

Tasti D-Lite ain’t cheap - a single cup will set you back a good 3,000 won for the smallest serving. Toppings, smoothies, and assorted chou and cookies will all up the price ante, so come prepared.
