It’s been ages since I updated this site. Time to renew. Anyway, I feel productive today, having finished marking a few scripts ;p
I’ve been doing a lot of cooking during the holidays. One of the days, I invited my aunts over for my usual year-end luncheons.
For appetisers, I made Bagel Sandwiches. Now, I’ve got my lovely colleague to thank for this, as she brought me all the way to the factories in Woodlands and while there, we discovered this place called Melvados, where they sell the most scrumptious jalapeno and cheese bagel in the world! I love it! They’re the bomb! I cannot get enough of it. I’m craving for it right now.
Back to the simple recipe. Bagel toasted. Spread garlic flavoured cream cheese. Top with smoked salmon. Serve open.

This doesn’t even constitute a recipe but it is a great recipe idea. Grab a bagel and make yourself some bagel sandwiches!
argh! when i was at melvados last week, i cannot recall the thing that you recommended. i only knew that it was in the bread family and there were 3 words in it. jalapeno cheese bagel. must commit that to memory. and smoked salmon from fassler a few doors down. this must taste real good!
You can order online too. They deliver free but with minimum purchase $100. The last day of school, a few of us colleagues pooled because we recommended the jalapeno cheese bagels. My freezer full of them bagels! But they loved it, especially the basil pesto. I haven’t tried but they say the sundried tomatoes pesto is good too. ‘Food Pool’ no need to travel. 🙂
