More
than rice and pasta, I really am a bread person. If I want to die via carbs, you bet I’m big
on bread. Choosing bread in our small
household is almost an art. I really
take time in deciding which golden brown loaf will come home with us. And that white generic loaf lining grocery
shelves? No, thank you.
A good
bagel is really hard to come by in Manila which is a pity because I love a good
bagel that’s double-toasted and slathered with thick cream cheese. That’s why when I learned that L.E.S. (Lower
East Side) Bagels has opened in Tuscany Hill near where I teach, I made it a
point to visit the new establishment.
It was
bagel heaven inside! I was just looking
for a good bagel with a soft, crusty outside and chewy inside but LES Bagels
offered a rather good variety of bagels.
There were whole wheat, pumpernickel, sesame seed, black Russian, onion,
cinnamon raisin, salted, and Nigella seed options apart from the plain one.
And the
cream cheese menu!!! To die for! I thought it was really difficult choosing
which cream cheese variant went with the right bagel!
Anyhoo,
I happily brought home my brown bag of bagel heaven and unearthed these babies:
Bacon and cheddar cream cheese on plain bagel
Blueberry cream cheese on pumpernickel bagel
Jalapeno cream cheese on an onion bagel
Sundried tomato and basil cream cheese on a sesame seed bagel
They were all really, really, really yummy! Finally, a taste of real New York bagels in Manila! They were also heavy so two people can actually share a bagel. Check it out. You'll love it! Even your waistline will agree! :)
