The food court at Scotia Square, re-branded as the "The Mix," has really expanded since my last…read morevisit 3 years ago. It's bigger and brighter, with several new vendors. It's very reminiscent of the food courts in complexes connected by The PATH in Toronto (eg the Richmond-Adelaide Centre, TD Place, Commerce Court, etc.). I like that there are several independent vendors, and there are some chains that are specific to Atlantic Canada (which are cool to me because I'm from Ontario). There are of course also big national and international chains, but I didn't travel to Halifax to eat stuff that I can eat in Ottawa, right? However, if you live in Halifax and want an A&W burger or a Iced Capp from Tim Hortons, they have those at The Mix too. So some of their newest offerings are Katch and Pizza Girls (they are together), Tin Pan Alley Gourmet Fries, and Sushi Tonari. The older vendors include A Taste of India, A&W, Booster Juice, Freshii (which is newish), Korea Garden, Mama Gratti's, Mezza Lebanese Kitchen, Starbucks, Subway, Thai Express, and Tim Hortons. There is a lot of seating and the food court is bright, clean, and spacious. I'm a fan.

Today I did something a little extreme and, perhaps, a little unnecessary. I went on a hunt for…read moreScotia Square's best cookie. Baked goods are definitely "my thing" and I was curious to settle upon, for once and for all, which spot has the best cookie! The contenders: Starbucks, Second Cup, and Treats. These are the main places one may venture for a treat, and I didn't bother with Tim Horton's because the lines are always too long. I purchased one cookie from each store, and noted the selection available as well. Sitting down at a table in the mall, I laid all three cookies out in front of me and sampled each with a bite. The results? Starbucks! Best cookie, hands down. I purchased the white chocolate & maccadamian nut, which was soft and chewy just how I like it. Although Starbucks tends to run low on cookies fairly often, so that can be a drag. Second Cup comes in second, with a tasty chocolate chip, and Treats comes in last place because of the overly crisp (bordering burnt) taste. So there you have it folks. If you're looking for the best fix for a Scotia Square cookie, I'd recommend Starbucks.

So it would appear that Korea Garden is a place that a lot of locals like, especially those working…read morenearby, so I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. The portions were on the small side and I hardly got any vegetables or potatoes :( The taste was ok though, but not as fantastic as I had hoped. I got the Seoul Chicken, regular sized plate ($7.15). I got white rice instead of fried rice. The plate came with the teeniest portion of vegetables (cabbage, carrots and celery) and about 7 tiny cubes of potatoes. The portion of chicken was ok, but by no means generous. The amount of rice was in proportion to the meat, I didn't have much rice leftover, so at least the plate wasn't filled with rice. The chicken itself tasted good. It was fried chicken pieces, mostly dark meat, but it wasn't too fatty or gristley at least. The sauce was sweet and savoury. It was not spicy. The potatoes were a bit boring without too much flavour to them. I liked the lightly pickled vegetables. They were still somewhat crunchy. I would have liked some more though. Service was very courteous and efficient. Korea Garden is in the Scotia Square food court, which is branded "The Mix." There's lots of seating. I'm glad that I tried it, but I certainly am not hooked on it, like I've read other reviewers (both on Yelp and other platforms) are, lol. I guess it's all for the best since I'm from out of town anyway.

It seems that the Seoul Chicken (which looked awesome) is the all time favorite. I personally went with the Spicy Shrimp served with fried rice that is fantastic. The 7 shrimp where huge, the rice very flavorful and not the least bit greasy. The plate came with roasted potatoes and marinated cabbage and carrots (not kimchi, but they do serve that). I added a gyoza dumpling and it still was less than $7. The staff are very friendly and you know this place is one people come back to again and again...the server handed the guy behind me a Pepsi before he even got the words out. He's obviously a regular...smart man. I'm tempted to go back tomorrow.
