It ceartainly was a particularly chilly night, surprising considering its Bombay I am talking about, and well its certainly not known for any temperature extremities.
But any waz- its certainly not weather I am here to discuss about- so well- and in anycase it wasnt the temeperature that inspired me to travel (yes travel :P) for the much talked about Sizzling Brownie at the Cafe NewYorkers in Bombay.
Well, those of you who've been following the blog would quite notice the shift from Street Food to the more swanky places- well its keeping in touch with the other side of life :)
As I travelled towards Chowpati on the grand Marine Drive Road, there were two things I couldnt miss noticing - the simply serene sea outside the cab- and quiet altough beautiful silence sitting inside the cab.
You cant miss Chowpati when in Bombay, they say- I did. However - what I didnt miss is the Sizzling Brownie - at Cafe Newyorkers - which sits imposingly facing the sea and right across Chowpati- you simply cant miss it - untill ofcourse you want to. What you see above is well a devoured one.
There aint much to write about it though- for in all its a rather simple preparation- vanilla ice cream scoop sitting atop a brownie, in a hot plate and the final touch is added by the waiter who brings along hot molten chocolate and purs the same rather generously - for you. It was a rather riot of colours and temeperatures as the ice scream struggles to maintain form and substance and by the end of it - its all one uniform crust of chocolate and milk that rmains sticking to the pan.. Its the bubbles of hot chocolate perhaps that give it the distinctness or perhaps I was too engrossed to realise..
To give you an idea,- herez a sneak peek at what it looks like before you give in to the temptation and indulge in the sinfully delicious molten chocolate-brownie n ice-cream mix !!
Anywaz now that you are at NewYorkers - you may also want to try the gourmet pizza- whiich was a rather eclectic mix of all mexican toppings they have in the kitchen. Worth a try in any case.
All in all- the place is good by all standards.. and definitely worth a try..!
my mouth's watering...
