Fusia

Fusia is an Asian fusion restaurant that is fancy yet cozy. The services here is terrific. It all beginnings when you enter the doors they greet you with a smile and ask how many. Then they sit you at a table and the waiters are really nice.

After looking at the drink menu for a while I ask them about their coconut and tapioca drink. They say it is sweet and refreshing and I must agree. As soon as I tasted it I decided it would be my dessert. Even now just writing about it I crave to be drinking it. I also had another drink there a short while ago, it was called fusion drink. It had tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango blended with ice and coconut milk. It also tasted good but I recommend the coconut drink.

I ordered mushroom dumplings as my appetizer. I did not like them one bit. They tasted funny and were dry. the dipping sauce they came with tasted yummy. I just wish I had something to put it on.

My entree was chinese mixed vegetables and tofu. It had a large mix of vegetables but it had celery which is one of the vegetables that I don't really like. The tofu was fried but it wasn't oily and absorbed the flavors of the sauce really well. The dish itself wasn't that special but it tasted good. I liked the way they presented their rice in a tall cone shape.

My meal was not something extraordinary but I really loved the drink. The service is friendly and open. And the place itself is beautiful and warm. Over all this is a good restaurant I think I just have to find the right entree to make it sparkle.
