What's Happening?
Shiok! Singapore Kitchen, a beloved local restaurant, has reopened in downtown Menlo Park after being forced to relocate due to the sale of its previous building. Co-owner Dennis Lim, who has been involved with the restaurant for 13 years, expressed excitement
about returning to the community. The restaurant, known for its unique Singaporean fusion cuisine, had operated as a takeout-only service in Redwood City for a year. The new location on Oak Grove Ave allows Shiok! to reconnect with its loyal customer base, offering fresh, homemade dishes inspired by Lim's family recipes.
