Midweek Meanderings – Looks like Zen Curry is Becoming Curry Club, Fish With You coming to Convoy, New Owners for Tsuruhashi, and Other Stuffs

Just a quick midweek post on a nice, and much cooler Wednesday!

Looks like Zen Curry is permanently closed becoming Curry Club:

**** Update 8/1 – Thanks to some great work by "FOY" Elle (see comments section) Zen Curry is becoming "Curry Club". Here's a link to the Instagram Account. Thanks as always Elle!

Well, this one has been a mystery for a while. I recall first seeing the "temporarily closed" sign back in July 2023. So, just for kicks I went into the parking lot which also houses Katsu Cafe and Yuk Dae Jang and guess what? The Zen Curry sign is gone!

The same sign saying to check their website is posted.

The website still says "Reopening TBD".

But I would assume that no sign means no reopening???

Perhaps one of our "FOYs" might know? As noted above; per Elle, Zen Curry is becoming Curry Club. Like I always say, this blog would not exist without all you "Friends of yoso"!

Fish With You coming to Convoy:

Sometimes just waiting to post something works out right. After my lunch at Izakaya Sakura I took a walk around the strip mall to see what was going on. I quickly noticed that Shen Tan BBQ had closed.

The Change of Ownership sign indicated something named Wei's Fish was taking its place.

Fast forward a week and the the Eater did a post. Looks like this will be part of chain from Beijing whose name in the US is Fish With You. When I showed the Missus the website She got quite excited. You know how much She loves Suan Cai, right? Well, this chain specializes in Suan Cai Yu. Basically, boiled fish with pickled cabbage, which the Missus loves. 

It's going to be interesting!

Looks like Tsuruhashi has new ownership?:

While walking back to the car, I noticed a Change of Ownership sign in the window of Tsuruhashi.

Looks like it'll still be Tsuruhashi though.

And Finally:

My food friend "CY" asked me if I was attending the San Diego Taiwanese Festival? Huh? You know how much the Missus and I love Taiwan!

After checking out the link and additional info from a few sources, I found that it's more of a Cultural Festival brought to you by Taiwanese American Professionals (TAP), then a food festival, but it still looks like fun. I'm not sure if you know, but one of San Diego's Sister Cities is Taichung. It is taking place at Torrey Hills Park, 4260 Calle Mejillones from 2pm to 5pm this Saturday, August 3rd. I believe you need to RSVP to attend.

Looks like lots of activities for kids and such.
