Happy new year! I’ll post a year in review when I get a chance. Some updates:
-
Head on over to the Frozen shuijiao (water boiled dumpling) and XLB roundup (SFBA)
-
Millbrae’s Cafe Salina has closed, and will be replaced by a new venture from Noodles & Things (ed. called Porridge & Things). According to the owner Kevin Lu’s Facebook page, “We are pleased to announce Noodles & Things will be opening a new concept in the Bay Area on January 18 to welcome the new year. We will be serving Chiu Chow Sawo Porridge with live seafood.”
-
Jiangnan Delight (Fremont), which employed chefs from Jiangnan and Hunan, has closed
-
@bigwheel042 learned that Shandong Deluxe on Taraval has closed. It’s now Happy Family Gourmet. The Chinese name remains the same, and photos of a man and woman making noodles are identical to those used by Shandong Deluxe. Has anything besides the name changed?
-
I stopped by and confirmed that (Chinese American) Hunan Chef in Bernal closed. As I noted above, a business called United Dumplings is slated to take its place.
