Best brownie in Malaysia! Leena Bakery!
Backlog: 16 February, 2018 Final brownie update for Malaysia! I’m leaving today for Sorong, West Papua, and I have two reports for you all. First: the cafe at the top of the Langkawi cable car. it’s fine. Decent chocolate mud cake. It’s fine. Whatever. 10RM. Fine. Second, Leena Bakery in Chenang. WE HAVE A WINNER….
Not so big at The Elephant Cafe
Backlog: 6 February, 2018 Here is the Elephant Coffee House & Bar – Koh Lipe‘s very reasonable brownie. It’s heavy, chocolatey and has good choc sauce on top. Could be thicker. Could have some type of nut. Could be fresher. In spite of these shortcomings, it’s not bad. Was 100B ($4aud). Find them The Elephant…
Winner! Best brownie on Koh Lipe, Thailand: Cafe Tropical
Backlog: 24 January, 2018 We have a winner! For the best brownie on Koh Lipe, for 100B, there is a moist, delicious (slightly oily) gluten-free brownie at Cafe Tropical Koh Lipe. And to answer the question i know you’re asking – yes, i am making myself sick eating all these brownies. I’m going to need…
Not all are winners. Some are losers. Gelatogalleria is a loser.
Backlog: 24 January, 2018 Dry cake with nuts served chilled is not a good brownie, Gelato Galleria. Got them to microwave it… Now it’s warm, but..ugg. just no. Cake with nuts. Fail. The brownie hunt continues, but at least it was “only” 100B ($4aud). Find them …please, don’t.
Killing it in Kali Koh Lipe
Backlog: 23 January, 2018 Chocolate log, Brownie date, 42.9. We find ourselves still deep in the Koh Lipe system, with very few sources of quality brownie, at agreeable prices. After drifting aimlessly from starbase to starbase (bakery?), I have stopped at the Kali Koh Lipe cafe. 120B is still expensive, but it’s not 200-220B. And…
Thailand is getting better.
Backlog: 17 January, 2018 Field report from Koh Lipe, Thailand. Three brownies (maybe more) have been located. One unit has been sampled. Local bakery, “Take a Bread“: 35B ($1.50aud). Result: it’s okay. Mini choc cake with cashews on top. Unit two: Unsampled. At “The Box“. 200B ($8!!!). No. I’m not paying $8 for a brownie….
Don’t hug the Huggin’ Hippo
Backlog: 13 January, 2018 Brownie time! Here at Huggin’ Hippo on Cenang beach, the presentation is gorgeous, and the shaved chocolate is thick and soft. The sauce is rich and thick. The brownies themselves… Are only okay. Rich chocolate cake. Find them Huggin’ Hippo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hugginhippo
Fabulous “Famous Amos”
Backlog: 7 January, 2017 Transiting in KL, between Bali and Langkawi, so… brownie time! There was a “Famous Amos” (famous cookie place in the USA, whose cookies are nothing to be famous for/about) across from my gate. So I tried one of their brownies. I have to say – I was impressed! Chewy, and the…
Le Brownie ala Le Bistrot
Backlog: 3 January, 2018 Brownizans, rejoice! A worthy brownie has been found! La Bistrot, in Amed, has a delicious chocolate treat for only 30k IDR ($3AUD). It’s moist, heavy, and drizzled with caramel sauce. I will be back. UPDATE: October, 2018 – they’re off the menu. Sad times. Find them La Bistrot Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lebistrotamed
