00:00 This is Grumpy Bagels, a cozy cafe on Jalan Imbi in Kuala Lumpur that specializes in,

00:07 you guessed it, bagels.

00:09 Since its opening in early April, what was once an abandoned bungalow now has hungry

00:15 customers at its doorstep from early in the morning, all eager to get their hands on this

00:20 American classic.

00:22 Owner Claire Tan developed a special fondness for this baked treat during her years working

00:28 as a flight attendant.

00:29 Back then when I was still flying, every time when I get roasted for a US flight, I'll definitely

00:34 go for bagels.

00:35 Even for breakfast, for lunch, bagels is always my top priority.

00:40 She says it's the texture that makes these bagels one of a kind.

00:44 For me, the best bagel has to be crispy on the outside and soft and chewy inside.

00:50 What makes our bagels different is the ingredients that we use and also the baking process.

00:55 It takes us two to three days to bake a bagel, so we use overnight proofing instead of baking

00:59 them directly to improve the dough flavor and also enhance the texture.

01:04 The most important part is boiling them before baking.

01:07 A lot of people will just skip this step, but for us, we insist to follow the most traditional

01:15 way of doing the bagels because we want to preserve the most authentic taste of the bagels.

01:21 Grumpy Bagels has nine sweet and savory bagels on its menu, including six types of bagel

01:28 sandwiches.

01:29 My favorite sweet bagel will be berry crumble.

01:32 We use our house-made strawberry jam and pair with berry-based bagels topped with butter

01:39 crumble.

01:40 Yes, so you can feel the crunchiness of the butter and the strong flavor of berries on

01:46 the first bite.

01:47 SMT Lifestyle also sampled the unique matcha bagel filled with red bean mochi.

01:53 This winning combination of flavors and textures, earthy matcha, sweet red bean, stringy mochi,

01:59 and a soft bagel truly strikes gold.

02:03 They also offer savory options like the best-selling garlic cream cheese bagel.

02:08 Fun fact, all varieties of their cream cheese are also made in-house.

02:13 And if you're craving a heartier meal, don't miss the Aloha Chicken Bagel.

02:18 Or try the Grumpy Breakfast, reminiscent of a full English breakfast but served with a

02:23 bagel instead of toast.

02:26 So head on over and remember, despite its name, leaving here grumpy is simply out of

02:32 the question.

02:33 And that was Grumpy Bagels.
