Palates & Bagels is another cafe by The Awesome Mankind (T.A.M) along Jalan Dhoby near Tan Hiok Nee Heritage Walk in Johor Bahru. The relatively-new cafe is situated right beside Pacific Kopi. As its name implies, Palates & Bagels is about bagels and taste experiences.
The two-storey cafe has a triangular balcony on the second level and behind an opened "hole" in the wall. Its interior utilises unfinished walls, wooden floorings and stairway, and rustic tables. On the bar counter at the ground floor, different types of bagel are displayed for selection. A glass shelf displayed the cafe's range of delicious-looking pastries.
At Palates & Bagels, order and pay at the counter before looking for a table. A list of savoury bagel meals, with male and female names, and choice of bagel from either plain, flavoured or parmesan cheese bagels. There are pastas, rice bowls and finger food as well. Not to be missed are the cafe's special coffee and non-coffee beverages.
Other than plain and parmesan cheese bagels that are usually available everyday, the flavoured bagels of the day may differ. On my last visit, there are flavours of pumpkin seed, sesame seed, pickled chilli and cranberry.
The "Louis" savoury bagel with selected pickled chilli bagel is served with smokey beef brisket, cheese, hash brown, egg, cajun mayo and caramelised onion. The pulled beef has a smokey aroma and taste. The bagel meal is a great experience with unforgettable smokey flavour from the beef.
The Unagi Rice Bowl is served with grilled unagi (freshwater eel) with sweet sauce, picked ginger, salad, poached egg and bonito flakes on Dashi Japanese rice. Mesh and mix the poached egg well with the rice to smoothen the dish before eating. Yummy.
For beverages, the iced osmanthus latte and osmanthus pear sparkling oolong are unique and new experiences. The osmanthus flavour is undeniably distintive. The rose-flavoured chocolate has a special taste and a different experience.
Apart from Palates & Bagels, The Awesome Mankind has another cafe by the name of Principle Cafe along Jalan Trus, just 800 metres or 10-minute walk away.
