Bago with brilliance @ Yo Bago

I have wanted to try this place for ages, but Quarry Bay is one of the worst stations in Hong Kong; you can never seem to get out of the station with endless passages and escalators.

Finally got motivated to visit this place on a fine afternoon and managed to find it successfully after previous attempted visits where I couldn’t find that road.

When I got there, it looked just like how I saw it from the pictures, the shop was on the elevated side of the road behind a metal rail.

As I knew I wouldn’t be able to make up my mind even though I had an idea of roughly what I was going to get, I sat down and studied the menu for ages.

The choices were amazing, there was about four bagel sandwiches I wanted to try, and the bago’s with spread too. In the end I got a bagel sandwich set with bago bits and tea.
The owner was very nice, he came over and took my order so I needn’t go to the counter to order.

Although the Coffee there is famous, the notorious Tim Horton’s from Canada, that serves donuts and recently serving bagels too, I am not a coffee person so I got my Breakfast tea instead.
There was Earl grey and Breakfast to choose from, since my bagel was the Western breakfast, I matched it with Breakfast tea.

The Bago bits came first, bruchetta topped with diced tomato, drizzled with vinaigrette and melted mozzarella on top. It tasted nice as a starter. Then my bago sandwiche came with the tea. The tea looked watery at first, but the contents were boiling hot, so the tea infused itself very well and came out strong.

My bago sandwiche consisted of beef sausage, egg, lettuce, tomato and cheese.
The bago was very filling which was good, but the only problem was, I was too full to try the other bago’s.

The lettuce in the bago was very leafy and sweet, also they did a very good job with the lettuce, it was dried thoroughly after washing. Whilst I had my bago, I took sips of the tea, and from the beginning to finishing my bago, the tea remained hot throughout, which is also worth praising too.

Apart from the food, the café had a nice atmosphere and ambience, most of the customers were westerners.
The choice was bagels were good too, the ones I would recommend are Poppy seed, chocolate, spinach, and honey wheat. They have a big range on bagel spread, some are home-made such as the blueberry, pineapple cream cheeses which would go well with the chocolate bagel.

Anyway, don’t know when my next visit will be, but hopefully soon, I want more bagels.
