Backlog: 25 Dec 2017 Pemuteran has turned up one good brownie, but at 55k IDR ($5.50AUD), it’s one of the most expensive I’ve had. An “American Brownie with ice cream” at the very fancy and up market Selini Cafe and Bakery. It was good. A perfectly normal brownie, with walnuts. A tad overly moist (not…

I eat brownies.
Down in Denpasar
Backlog: 11 December, 2017 This was called a “Nuttella brownie”, and was 10kIDR ($1aud). It was good, rich, chocolatey, but more like a mini mudcake. But a good one, very moist. Mmm. Moist. For $1, I was not displeased. Find them Plaza Renon
Mixing it up with brownie mixes.
“But what about brownie mixes?”, I hear you ask. Good question. I am not going to comment on ‘edited’ store bought brownie mixes (where you take a basic pack and then tweak/make it awesome by adding or changing things), but just on brownie mixes as they were directed by the box. First the bad. Well,…
Fremantle continues to impress!
Backlog: 18 November, 2017 Friends of brown town! A new contender has entered the field! I’d like to give a big thanks to Ootong & Lincoln for doing brownie right. Simple. The basics. Heavy chocolate. Moist. So moist. Inoffensive nuts (macadamia, in this case. If you were wondering, almond is also good, followed by peanuts….
Breaking news: ice cream is delicious.
Backlog: 14 November, 2017 I have an important update. This is the berry brownie from Gabriel Chocolate Fremantle. On its own, it is good. I rate it slightly (SLIGHTLY!) below my last two brownies, but only marginally. However, Gabriel also sells ice cream. When paired with their amazingly good caramel ice cream (with dark chocolate topping),…
Perth prospers!
Original post date: 12 Nov, 2017. Not all my searches are based in Asia! I hunt good brownies wherever I am! Dear fellow brownieddicts. I have news. Great news about great brownies. Was at Wireless Hill Park (Melville, Perth, Western Australia) today, and there were food trucks around. Three of them had brownies, two were worth trying….
Malaysia overview.
On 1st of November, 2017 I wrote a short piece about my search in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: As I’m on my way out of Malaysia, I thought it’s about time to inform my readers of my latest in brownie research. Aided by locals and travelers (Florian, Isaac, and more), I’ve come to the following: The…
First post: 22 July, 2012
While wondering what I can make with what I have left in my cupboard, the awesome has appeared: Brownies in a Cup. http://i.imgur.com/nvktq.jpg I’ve got all that stuff! Even Ice Cream! Footnote: cooking properly is highly encouraged. It can come out pretty awful if not.
Thailand disappoints.
24th August, 2017. A broad review of Thailand: As many of you know, I love food. I especially love brownies. I also love Thai food. (And Mexican and Indian, but that’s not part of this story). Some long time readers might remember how much of my traveling involves trying to find the perfect brownie. I…
Mike’s gets moist.
A worthy brownie to review, back from 5th of April, 2017. I was in Dauin, Oriental Negros, Philippines, when I heard good things about Mike’s Beach Resort. Confirmed. Best brownie in Dauin is at Mike’s Dauin Beach Resort. 200P for brownie with vanilla ice cream. Number two is at Atmosphere (70P, or 225P with ice…
