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.

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….
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…
