Orange County

JINYA Ramen opens in Tustin

As more of Orange County is vaccinated, and restaurants open back up with limited outdoor and indoor dining options, I am slowly getting more comfortable with venturing out to dining at restaurants instead of only utilizing their take-out options. JINYA Ramen opened this week in Tustin, and it was the first dine-in media meal I’ve […]

Travel

Pizzeria Bianco — Phoenix, AZ

Arriving at Nobuo for dinner the night before, we saw that Pizzeria Bianco was right across the courtyard. It was one of the first places I bookmarked for my trip to Phoenix but didn’t think we’d have time to visit. After dinner that evening, we decided to have lunch at Pizzeria Bianco before heading to […]

Nobuo at Teeter House — Phoenix, AZ

Before visiting friends in Phoenix, I did a little research and presented my friends with a list of places I was interested in dining at. Since my friends are recent transplants themselves, they were eager to check out some restaurants themselves. Reservations were made at Nobuo at Teeter House weeks prior to my arrival, and […]

San Diego

best new eats of 2019

As the year (and decade) comes to a close, I reminisce about all the meals I’ve had this year, and have summarized my favorite five of 2019. Fable & Spirit — this new Newport Beach restaurant is not only stunning to look at, but also boasts one of the best bar programs in OC, as […]

Fort Oak — San Diego

It’s been a long time coming, and I finally made it to Fort Oak, the second restaurant from the good people at Trust in San Diego. If you’re following my blog, you will know that I loved Trust, and Chef Brad Wise has killed it again with Fort Oak — the group opened its latest […]

Jeune et Jolie: Carlsbad’s latest darling

I had no idea when we decided to dine at Jeune et Jolie last week, that it would cause such a stir. I didn’t realize that it was the current IT spot until a few people told me how jealous they were that I had eaten there. I was in Carlsbad with some friends for […]

Long Beach & Los Angeles

Plancha Latin Kitchen at Long Beach Exchange

Plancha Latin Kitchen has opened at Long Beach Exchange and the menu is a solid offering featuring dishes from many countries. Diners pick from a list of available ingredients to create their own bowls, and there is a nice array of  a la carte appetizers and dishes, should you choose to go that route. Start […]

Shanghailander Palace serves up legit childhood favorites

It’s been quite some time since I last had a stellar Shanghainese meal. We had some very pedestrian Shanghainese food this summer up in San Francisco, and there aren’t any good Shanghainese restaurants here in OC. Last weekend, my friend suggested we take a trip to the Rowland Heights area, and I was absolutely down […]

Popcornopolis Organic Nearly Naked arrives at Costco today

Organic Nearly Naked popcorn by Popcornopolis is now available at Costco stores all across the country, and sells for $5.39 a bag — a steal considering how big the bag is. But wait — from April 19 to May 13, you’ll be able to pick up the same bag for only $3.49. We love popcorn and Popcornopolis […]

cook with ease using Chef’d meal kits

Meal: 20 Cloves Garlic Chicken Cook Time: 45 minute Price: $19.99 (on sale from $24.99) When Chef’d approached me to be one of the very first to try out the new meal kits they’re rolling out at Gelson’s grocery stores, I jumped at the opportunity. While ordering meal kits online is super convenient, it isn’t ideal […]

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
