As a New Yorker, I enjoy my morning bagel. After living in Beijing, I've practically given up on finding good bagels in this town. That changed after I checked out Moss in Chaowai Soho after reading the review in The Beijinger. I went for lunch and took advantage of the 38 kuai lunch special (coffee, soup, and bagel sandwich). The cream of carrot soup was excellent and exactly like my grandmother used to make, seriously. The bagel sandwich with feta cheese and cucumber was equally excellent. On the way out I grabbed several bagels to take home. The real test is how they taste coming out of my toaster, slathered with cream cheese. They easily passed the test and, though not the best I've ever had, are the closest I've had to the bagels back home. Moss will now become a regular part of my weekly shopping circuit as I stock up on bagels for my morning meals.
