Crispy, soft, fluffy, chewy… those are some of the words best described for a piece of bagel. You can enjoy it plain with a nice spread of cream cheese or something sweet. Or have it in the form of bagel sandwiches with fillings in between, typically savoury ingredients like beef, chicken, egg and cheddar cheese. That being said, here are some of the good bagels you can enjoy at these 7 shops in Penang.
1) JOJA Bagels
This Muslim-friendly JOJA Bagels specialises in hand-rolled, New York-style bagel sandwiches, all made fresh to order. Some of their popular bagel sandwiches (they called it “Joja’s Bagelwiches”) include Richman’s Hash, a savoury combo of a hash brown with premium chicken meatloaf, sunny side up, house marmalade and hot smoked sauce. Or indulge in their hearty Philly Cheesesteak with house-grilled Australian ribeye steak balanced with sweet onions and house sauce. If you prefer something sweet, they have the classic P.B.J — that’s peanut butter and berries jam blanketed between the nicely toasted bagel.

It’s Bagel’s Dream turns reality with its range of fresh, hot and crispy bagels.
