If you wonder how much I like brownies, this clip from American Dad (season 4, episode 1) should give you a good idea. American Dad, Season 4 Episode 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVwK2V70JbE I make it difficult to negotiate.

I eat brownies.
Made from mix at Blue Star, Jemeluk
I’ve found a problem. It’s a misunderstanding of what a brownie is or should be. Blue Star is a little homestay/hotel at the east end of Jemeluk Bay, and is fairly cozy. Worth to sit around between snorkelling and swimming in the bay. So, what was the problem? It wasn’t the use of a premix-brownie-mix;…
A bust in Ubud; bail on Bali Buda’s brownies
Ubud is a hub of expats, artists and yoga as far as the eye can see. Fantastic food is everywhere, with an overpouring of gelatos. So, when I saw one of my favourite bakeries (and a delicious cafe), Bali Buda had brownies, I had to try it. It was not a brownie. Try their bagels…
Clive’s brownie recipe
I don’t like to post things I haven’t tested, but, to quote Clive, “This brownie recipe was independently tested, and proven to be the winner.” That sounds like pretty strong endorsement to me. Chocolate Brownies Ingredients – 250g butter – 2 1/4 cups sugar – 1 1/3 cups plain flour – 3/4 cup cocoa –…
A Cairns conference contribution [Guest entry]
Rich and moist on top, with some small nut fragments included, possibly almond? Quite enjoyable, but a little one-note on its own. A dark chocolate dusting along with what tasted like blended chocolate biscuits did much to enliven it. Presentation was a little overeager with a chocolate drizzle, although acceptable given this was the final…
Comfort found at the Coral View Villas
Backlog: 7 November, 2018 Sufferers of Brownitis! Hear me! Those of you in Amed have a opportunity for deliciousness! I’ve had one reasonable brownie early on, and I did give it a second small taste (no real improvement to my initial review). So, when I went to Coral View Villas for their amazingly good ribs,…
Imposters at the Balila, Amed
Backlog: 7 November, 2018 A vegan “brownie” which isn’t actually a brownie at all. It wasn’t bad, but… It wasn’t amazing. Shaved coconut, cacao, banana, with a scattering of raisins and a couple seeds on top. It was… interesting, at best. As a brownie addict I was deeply disappointed. As a fan of delicious food…
Hard to top Topi Inn, Padang Bay
Backlog: 8 October, 2018 Aficibrownados? browficionados? This name needs work. On my long (long) ride back from South Kuta (Jimbaran) to Amed, I made an executive decision. Side trip to Padang Bai. To Topi Inn 2, and the best brownies in Bali. (22k IDR +14K IDR for a scoop of ice cream. Total: $3.50aud) A…
Basic brownie from Meeting Point, Amed
Backlog: 23 September, 2018 Hello, my little bakers delights! Today was the 15,000IDR ($1.50aud) brownie from Meeting Point Cafe in Amed. It’s 35kIDR inside, with ice cream and probably warmed up, which I think would dramatically improve it. It’s a decent brownie. It’s really not bad. It’s straddling the line between “heavy choc slice/cake” and…
Decadence in Dive-Versions, Tulamben
Backlog: 12 September, 2018 Brown-town, redeux. I’ve already reviewed Dive-Versions Cafe’s brownie a second time (re-reviewed?), so you would think this would be unnecessary. You’d be slightly wrong. This is their “brownie delight”, for 50k IDR ($5aud, plus 15% tax). For an extra $1.50aud (over the 35kIDR normal brownie with ice cream) you get: a…
