Set in Medical Alumni Association Clubhouse surrounded by lush greenery and an air of exclusivity, Moxie is a hot new restaurant and also a cool place to enjoy some Mediterranean food while chilling with friends. This restaurant is full with lots of cool and stylish diners on a weekend afternoon. Good thing I also dress to kill, since this is a good opportunity to do so 😉
The food is full of flavours and holds hints of that distinctive flair of Greek cuisine. It’s great for gatherings since it will please most local palates. Also good for diners who are trying Greek cuisine for the first time.
The place is rustic and stylish at the same time. Whitewashed walls, clay potteries, hemp drapes and wicker basket lamps with soft yellow lights create a feel of cosy tavern on the sunny islands of Mediterranean.
The service is good, being friendly and efficient. Especially a lady who ushers us patrons to the lobby of Medical Alumni to wait for cabs when it starts raining.
Umami Rice is exactly as its name implies: full of umami! The glorious medley of Shellfish Bisque, Tiger Prawns, Squids, Mussels and Scallops is seafood lovers' umami dream come true. The rice is of good texture, being soaked with the concentrated briny sweetness of the seafood while still retaining its shape.
Greek Yoghurt Panna Cotta is a must-try here due to the novelty of rich, thick Greek Yoghurt being presented in pudding form. It totally works since the pudding form adds an extra bouncy quality to the texture. Toasted Pistachio Granola Crumb and Coconut Flakes layer on some crunchiness for even more texture. Balsamic Rose Water with Cherries & Strawberries introduces the zest to highlight the creaminess of the pudding.
Slices of Lime, Lemon and Cucumber plus Peppermint leaves to be added to freshen up the water. I like this nice little touch.
Dining here is exciting for the hip crowd, rustic ambience and good food. Though as I had mentioned that the food caters to most local palates, the drawback is that the distinctive taste of Greek food is not as pronounced here.
Thoughts: Cool Place to hang out at and for trying Greek Food
