The Perfect Brownie Hunt Part II

A guy can only have so many brownies every now and then right? Specially of you try to keep being as healthy as you can!.
So this time was the turn for the next batch of chocolate goodness:
First off, I went to this small very quiet and quaint bakery/coffee shop/patisserie called Banette located here in the Los Palos Grandes zone in Caracas. The place was, as I said, very quiet and i got my order right away, no hassle, no queues. The only thing was that the lady at the counter gave me the wrong receipt. Still, nothing that can't be too complicated to fix. I went over the counter again and got the right one. I ordered a small coffee, a Cachito de Jamon (a ham cachito, which is a salty baked dough filled with bits of ham) and of course the brownie.

My order with the wrong receipt:

The place was nearly empty, there were a lot of people having take-outs:

The brownie was not as nutty as others which i like, but it had a lot of butter on it, i felt it even more than the chocolate, but it gave it a wonderfully soft consistency and moisture. It had the one nut on top of it, and no crust, only melted chocolate on top of it. Very nice ceramic plate, clean napkins and clean spoon. Perfectly cooked on one side and a bit dry on the other. But All in all, very nice.

Another day, another brownie, this time I went to this more popular place located in the Altamira part of town, called Miga's:

The place was rather infernal, long queue, very warm, as noisy as it can. Granted, I went on a Saturday at noon, but still...My order took forever to arrive.
This is what i got: The  brownie and the not-so-mandatory bottle of mineral water:

A very nutty, very chocolatey brownie, this one had lots less butter than the other one, but i'd rather ditch the nuts. Melted chocolate on top. I feel i have seen this before...it was intensely sweet. Crappy presentation.

Cheers!

The first one looks better to me! I think you should continue your (delicious!) search for the perfect brownie.

I envy you this search! :) I can't have walnuts or pecans, and I often have to skip desserts when I'm out. Serious bummer, especially when it comes to CHOCOLATE. I'm in love with the first one... as well as the cochito! :)

Hee!! Muy bueno. Debo confesar que Migas's y yo tenemos una relación de amor y odio. Me fascinan sus brownies pero el café es regular, y yo tengo que combinar brownie con café obligatoriamente. Muy divertida tu búsqueda! Saludos.
