>Hangari Kalgooksu — noodles and dumplings

February 5, 2009 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

>Yes, California never gets THAT cold, especially here in southern Cali so dongchimigooksu can be enjoyed throughout the year if you choose. Dongchimigooksu is a Korean cold noodle soup with kimchi broth as the base. It is a vegetarian bowl of goodness and it is very refreshing with a slight tartness to offset the bit […]

>Capital Seafood — hit and miss

>I’m beginning to believe that it is impossible to find excellent dim sum in southern California. In Orange County, it’s even more dismal. Capital Seafood offers dim sum during lunch, and while the place is packed like crazy the dim sum is only mediocre. Given, at the moment, it’s the best in Irvine, but that’s […]

>Hoang Yen — bun bo hue goodness

>On a cold morning, the best remedy to warm your tummy is a hot bowl of noodles, but what kind? Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese? This time I wanted Vietnamese. I heard of a new place and went to try the Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodles). I asked for no blood cubes and no pork […]

>Yu’s Garden — I likee!

>I often come here by myself whenever I want a quick lunch. You choose your items from a ‘steam table’ except most of the items are cold. My favorites are the vegetarian options. I usually get bitter melon, tofu sheets with celery and carrots and either dried tofu strips or bamboo shoots. The selection is […]

>Nem Nuong Khanh Hoa — consistently good

January 5, 2009 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

>This is the first time we’ve had banh xeo — Vietnamese crepes — at Khanh Hoa. Usually we just eat the nem nuong (grilled beef) rolls and the banh khot (crispy rice cakes). I can’t say it’s the best banh xeo we’ve had, but what I do like about this place is that they offer […]

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.
