A Tale of Three Brownies

Gosh, I’ve been eating a lot of sweeties lately, all in the name of trying it out and reviewing it for our blog! Cheeky logic, huh? 🙂

So today, I present to you: a tale of three gluten-free brownies.

Brownie #1

Came across this after my yoga class in Desa Sri Hartamas. This place is a cute, homey little cafĂ© among the rows of shop houses. They have several flavours of brownies – plain, walnut, raspberry, salted caramel, etc. They also have gluten-free food (which I have yet to try). All are baked by owner and chef Sheila. The salted caramel brownie was very rich and tasty! Dense and super intense! A little too sweet for my liking though. Overall, a big thumbs up for small-time, owner-manufactured allergy-conscious food.

Brownie #2

I always stop by at Bisou. It is almost too strategically located in the walkway between two of my most frequented malls: BV1 and BV2! They have a variety of GF foods, and all are delicious. Their brownies have a unique consistency – light, not too sweet, and a little airy almost. Their real delight are their cookies, but the brownies are good too – they don’t make you feel too guilty because they are small and light!

Brownie #3

I’d never seen GF stuff at OJO coffee (where I go for my Peanut Butter Latte treats) until today! They have a super delicious brownie there. It’s plain (no nut or fruit adornments) but it is perfectly baked – super soft and chewy! Perfect with a cup of black coffee – it literally melts in your mouth.

The Verdict

I’d recommend all three, but if I had to choose, the simple yet perfectly done brownie at OJO’s will (literally) take the cake this time! It’s all the brownie I could ever want! 🙂

Yuzu Butter Cake from Bisou, Bangsar Village

Dear Fellow Cake Lovers,

GFers know just how difficult it is to find good GF cakes and pastries. For my last birthday, my aunt found *the most delicious* Yuzu butter cake at Bisou in Bangsar Village. The texture and consistency was perfect – indistinguishable from any other flour-based cake! The taste: heavenly. I may (just may) have had like quarter the cake by myself!

Simply so amazing!

Perfect texture, consistency, and TASTE!
