KoMpletely Wowed

It was a hot Friday afternoon when the gang decided to head over to KoFusion for a culinary experience. We went in having no idea what to expect.

The Good: The decor. Walking into KoFusion is like being transported into another time and place. In fact, I was so enthralled by the cool, calming colors and the fish tanks and the water feature at the bar that I barely paid attention to my food. The menu is very interesting — not unintelligible, like Bacaro sometimes, but intriguing. The dishes were fun and stylish, as was the silverware.

The Bad: Do you have to be ditzy to work as a waitress in downtown Champaign?

The Snarky: Do you have to be ditzy to work as a waitress in downtown Champaign?

Overall: The food was pricey but good. What wowed us about KoFusion was the experience itself. I will have to go back for dinner and try another menu item, but my sushi was decent.

Afterward, we headed down to Persimmon for a taste of Italy. The gelato was, as my friend Dora would say, !Delicioso! Sure, it was expensive, but so are other Champaign cold treat destinations (Custard Cup, cough cough). I had the Cafe Mocha. The person helping me said they get the stuff from an “artisanal” gelato maker in Michigan. (Had no idea there was such a thing.) Mmmm….
