About this blog:
Get the latest food news with the biweekly Peninsula Foodist newsletter.
I am a perpetually hungry twenty-something journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at the Palo Alto Weekly as education and youth staff writer. I graduated from USC with a major in Spanish and a minor in journalism. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new restaurants to try, building an ever-expanding "to eat" list. As a journalist, I'm always trolling news sources and social media websites with an eye for local food news, from restaurant openings and closings to emerging food trends. When I was a teenager growing up in Menlo Park, I always drove up to the city on weekends with the singular purpose of finding a better meal than I could at home. But in the past year or so, the Peninsula's food culture has been totally transformed, with many new restaurants opening and a continuous stream of San Francisco restaurants coming south to open Peninsula outposts. Don't navigate this food boom hungry and alone! Feed me your tips on new chefs and eats and together we'll share them with the broader community.

Fu Lam Mum shutters temporarily in Mountain View
Uploaded: Apr 27, 2017
Fans of longtime Mountain View Chinese restaurant Fu Lam Mum have likely noticed that the restaurant recently closed for remodeling. Have no fear: Owner Ben Quan hopes to reopen the restaurant by August or September, he said Thursday.

Quan, who also owns the property at 153 Castro St., decided to convert a second-floor mezzanine previously used by the restaurant to office space. Tubular Labs, a video content company that currently occupies a third floor of the building, plans to expand into the remodeled space, Quan said. City building permits show they intend to add 2,335 square feet to the second floor.
Fu Lam Mum will remain on the first floor.

Stay tuned for Fu Lam Mum's reopening this fall.
