| - I went to STC to eat at moxie's tonight.
I got the chicken chipotle quesadilla, which was alright. The warm plate was a nice touch, but the dish itself was a bit bland. I always see reviews that say "bland" but I don't know what it means, so let me explain. There were hardly any spices. I'm guess there was salt, pepper and a bit of chipotle in the dish. That might be awesome if the ingredients were top-notch so the flavours would shine, but it was not top-notch. The bread itself was soft - no crisp exterior and fluffy interior, just... soft.
The chips had a total count of five, but the salsa was pretty good. The yoghurt dip was very strange. It was thin, runny an sour instead of tangy. It tasted like a 0% yoghurt... I prefer 8% greek yoghurt. Something that actually stays on the chip and won't drip off.
However, the salad was phenomenal. The cheese, dressing and greens were all amazing.
The dessert was... Sorry to say, seriously disappointing :( I got a bite of brownie (mini white chocolate brownie), but it was so dry! It was also not sweet enough, and I have a relatively light palette. It was not chewy or fudge-y at all like a brownie should be. It tasted like a piece of cake/bread pudding that's been left out, uncovered for 5 days. Superbly dry.
The whipped cream on the side was so bland! It was like they didn't do anything to it but add a tiny teaspoon of sugar to the whole batch. Even a touch of vanilla could've improved the cream vastly.
All my friends kept recommending it and raving it so I admit I am pretty disappointed.
My friend who went with me also got the bite of brownie and she said it's usually not as dry, but she said she still loves Moxie's so I'm not sure what that means in terms of Moxie's standards of food...
All in all I don't think I'll ever go to the STC moxie's again. But If a friend asks, I may try the fairview moxie's.
