[ Shragels Delicatessen | 上環 ] I was in the neighbourhood this morning and spontaneously decided to come here after craving a bagel sandwich. The store is very quaint but spacious with a very nice decor and elegant but rustic seatings. They decorated it to mimic a New York deli and they easily give off that vibe.

Before I talk about the food, I want to mention that I only found out about the drama that occurred between this bagel shop and another (Mendels). I believe that no one should feel guilty about eating food but I did feel bad after knowing I supported this restaurant which did some pretty bad things (please head to Mendel’s Instagram for more information, or try searching this on the internet). But of course, there are always two sides to a story and I am only here for the food.

Loxy Lady $95
Hard to believe this is only my second time trying bagels and it is much better than the first. I got the Loxy Lady, perhaps their signature bagel sandwich, and it was good but quite decent. The smoked salmon used tastes the same as the supermarket ones, fatty, savoury and only a bit salty which worked great with the briny capers and pungent red onions. The balance between flavours and textures is spot-on. However, the best part has to be the bagel. It’s supposed to have everything-but-the-bagel seasoning but it’s quite insufficient and the natural fragrance of this bread is overpowered which is not a bad thing. They make their bagels fresh every day and its truly delicious. The bagel is slightly crunchy from the crust, but the inside is fluffy, chewy, and perfect after absorbing the oil from the smoked salmon. The only let-down of this sandwich is the scallion cream cheese which could have been given more generously and the scallion is pretty non-existent as it just tastes like cream cheese, albeit less acidic and on the creamy side than packaged ones.
This sandwich is pretty small but made for a good and satisfying breakfast. I would say it is very expensive for a sandwich and you can easily make this at home, so perhaps it’s not an everyday thing but definitely worth trying once for some New York Style bagels. If I come back, I would try their Whitefish bagel which can only be found here.

💬 Overall, a decent bagel sandwich that is quite expensive. I recommend coming here once for the feels, buying the bagels from them, and making the sandwich home.
