cameraboynyc Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 this is my first post, but i picked a good one! for those of you who think that Au Bon Pain's bagels are simply round bread, then have i got a place for you. BKK Bagel Bakery, its next to the Chit Lom BTS, just beside the Haagen Dazs. they just opened. real NY style bagels; chewy, dense, amazing! great flavored cream cheese, tasty bagel sandwiches, very good coffee with the option of real cream (instead of sweetened condensed milk!) ... the list goes on. well worth checking out.

What about Sandwitchs / subs etc? anything to rival subway in BKK from the italian - american scene? I have never even tried a Subway in BKK. I see the menu special signs outside and they offer totally different things than the US but a number of people have told me you can get the same sandwiches ... my personal favorites are the BMT and seafood sandwiches. Do they offer them here? As for other sub/sandwich shops ... I can't think of any here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roamer Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Let me get this right, you joined in 2004, wow almost a founder member, and yet you choose to make your first post on....bagels? And you are of course completely unconnected with the establishment you recommend ? Given the thread on the same joint yesterday this is beginning to look suspiciously like spam. You want to promote the place TV have an advertising dept I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameraboynyc Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 they make them from scratch (including boiling) on location. you can get them toasted but if i can get a bagel fresh i prefer to not have it toasted (toasting is for bagels that are a couple days old!). my favorites are cinnamon raisin with butter or the whole wheat with olive cream cheese. for fans of smoked salmon they have a great lox sandwich. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best bagels I ever had were in Montreal. Most of the shops start selling freshly cooked bagels at midnight or so...just when the munchies are kicking into full gear. They are a bit lighter and a touch more crispy on the outside than the "New York" style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not in a good Jewish bagel shop. Unlike all the one's in the USA they when fresh are "never" chewy like the US one's, that by the way I dont like.

An "English bagel" would again be like "Engish" som tam; bagels are from NY, USA full stop, done any other way it is an adaptation (or some might say a bastardization) of the original.

Jingthing Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Well originally they are more of an Eastern European food (hard to say a specific country of origin though) but I don't know how easy it is to get good (or any?) bagels in Eastern Europe these days. New York is the bagel cultural haven of course (and spiritual "center" of the bagel world, but think about it, that's bupkis), but so is Montreal.

They have made it their own maybe "there" by adding fruit and other such crap, but it doesn't make it the end all of bugger all. As Jingthing pointed out Middle east. Just like the perfectly good English language that they have buggered up, got to make it American, but maybe I shouldn't go down that ROUT Sorry ROUTE.

fredob43 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) We all got it wrong the Bagel first started life in the Ottoman empire in 1683 And were being sold in Brick lane London ENGLAND in the mid 19th century. Still are for that matter. Now where was N/Y's Bagel's "With fruit in then" I rest my case. Edited March 5, 2011 by fredob43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
