These three Asian restaurants are joining Milwaukee’s restaurant scene soon.

Here’s a look at what we know about them:

Hmongfusion

Hmongfusion is opening at 8340 W. Appleton Ave. Its proposed opening date is Dec. 20, according to a Milwaukee business license application.

Hmongfusion, described as a fast-food restaurant with dine-in seating, will be located inside Pacific Produce, an Asian grocery store.

The restaurant will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to the application.

Hmongfusion will offer Thai and Lao salads, curry, pho, noodle dishes and rice dishes. Appetizers will include a variety of spring rolls and egg rolls.

MILWAUKEE — With the holiday season upon us, you may want to consider this hidden gem. Urban Sense is known for its beautiful fresh floral arrangements, but it offers so much more.

Located at the corner of 54th and West Vliet St., this modern floral and gift shop provides a one-stop shopping experience. I spoke with one of the owners, Chris Dobs, to find out what sets them apart.

“We really specialize in customer service, and I know a lot of businesses say that, but we really excel at it. If you’re planning a special event, we talk about the location and how many people are coming. If you’re buying a plant, we’ll discuss the sun’s location, what type of plant you’re looking for, and whether it’s high maintenance or low maintenance. With holiday decor, we’ll definitely go through and try to make it nice and special for you. Because Urban Sense is a sense of touch, sense of feel, sense of environment,” Chris said.

In addition to flowers and plants, the shop offers a variety of unique gift items. Co-owner Daniel Block shops small business vendors to stock Urban Sense with things you can’t find locally, including lotion candles, the world’s softest socks, upcycled high-strung jewelry, and a large selection of German cuckoo clocks.

Weddings are a huge part of their business, with about 50 to 60 per year. Daniel says, “What sets us apart is that we customize for each wedding event. We also don’t have budget minimums for wedding flowers; we just try to work within every budget.”

When you buy a plant, they will pot it for you and even re-pot your existing plants. And get this: “We get fresh Christmas trees cut literally the week before Thanksgiving. This year, we’re carrying Fraser Firs, and we also deliver them if you’d like,” Chris said. But it gets better: they will decorate the tree for you as well!

I told you this was a hidden gem.

According to MLB Insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Milwaukee Brewers would love to add free agent first baseman Paul Goldschmidt this winter.

He wrote the following on Monday:

The Brewers would love to find a way to get former Cardinals All-Star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt on their roster, and would have been all-in if first baseman Rhys Hoskins had opted out of his contract.

Hoskins did opt-in, meaning that the Brewers would need to do some roster gymnastics to find time for both guys at first base and designated hitter.

Goldschmidt would be a nice add to the offense, especially considering the team is widely expected to lose Willy Adames in free agency. Furthermore, since Goldschmidt was not issued a qualifying offer by the Cardinals, he won’t cost a draft pick on Milwaukee’s end, which is highly appealing.

A lifetime, .289 hitter, Goldschmidt has spent 14 years in the big leagues with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cardinals. He is a seven-time All-Star and a four-time Gold Glover. He won the MVP Award in the National League in 2022.

The Delaware native is coming off a year in which he hit .245 with 22 homers and 65 RBI. He posted a .302 on-base percentage. The Brewers are coming off a year in which they won the National League Central and advanced to the wild card round of the playoffs before losing to the New York Mets.

They have designs on staying atop the division, but losing Adames will be a big loss. Perhaps adding Goldschmidt can alleviate it.
