I remember many afternoons spent in my girl friend’s kitchen in California pigging out on bagels as we chatted and gossiped and laughed. Sweet memories! That was when I fell in love with bagels.

I finally came across some bagels recently at Yamakazi, a bakery tucked away just two doors away from the Cold Storage at the new underground bridge between Midvalley Megamall and the Gardens.

Like a desperado, I quickly grabbed 3 bagels – Raisin, Blueberry (left) and Poppy (right) – as if the shop is going to run away . Turns out these bagels weren’t anything I remember bagels to taste like. The search is not over. I’m back to square one.
