Moxie Restaurant & Bar @ Plaza Damansara

On the last weekend before heading back to down under, I spontaneously organized a double date which I thought would be lovely but it wasn't (SD card was left at home, fml). Flashback, battery went dead when I was in nero fico, double fml. So, please bare with bad photos although they failed in causing you to drool. Anyway, the double date went pretty smoothly as the food served was pleasant (which don't look yummy but indeed they are).

"Moxie" was introduced to the USA as a carbonated soft drink in 1884 and it has since become a part of modern American slang meaning verve, spunk and the ability to face difficulty with spirit and courage. So, have you got moxie?

Fromage Frite - RM18


Lightly coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried to golden perfection, fromage frite was crispy and greaseless on the outside. On the inside was dangerously delicious, gooey and creamy camembert cheese. Once bitten, camembert cheese instantly melt in your mouth and the earthy flavour comes through very well. It was also served with cumberland sauce and wild berry salad.

IMG_0572Pesto Spaghetti - RM36

Pesto is rigorously the most delicious and versatile sauce. The dish is made up of basil pesto, Parmesan cheese, and fresh garlic, mixed in al-dente spaghetti and lastly served with fresh tiger prawns. With a hint of olive oil, the dish is a great rich meal.

Hawaiian Pizza - RM28

The old fashioned Hawaiian pizza has a great thin crust, generous amount of beef pepperoni, and the right combination of toppings. The sinful mozzarella cheese has further unified the flavours all together. It was delizioso!

Steak Diane - RM65

Steak diane is indeed a classic from the bygone era of supper clubs. The most tender and highly sought cut of beef is the tenderloin, from which beef medallions are cut. The grilled to perfection meat was however a tad disappointing as we opted medium but it turned out as almost well-done. Neither juicy nor flavorful. Toated brioche was sandwiched in between the piece of meat, Lyonnaise onions and Dubarry mash were drizzled with cremini Worcestershire sauce.

Cattleman's Barbequed Short Ribs - RM59

The juicy texan-style beef short ribs were smoked overnight with barbequed anchovy chilli sauce and served with mashed potato and broccoli. The meat is fork-tender you could chew it with toothless gums and robustly flavourful. It was also coated well without being too sharp or cloying. We all love it! Oh nomnomnom!

The edgy and contemporary settings are inviting and the ambience is convivial. Service is brisk and staffs are attentive as they gradually serve us. Moxie warrants second visit and it's definitely an ideal choice for dating.

Fyi, Moxie is pork-free.
