a long awaited visit failed to impress

November 28, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

On the actual day of my birthday, my friends and I made the trip to San Juan Capistrano and brunched at Ramos House Cafe. It is quite amazing that only two people in my party had been there before and it took us THIS long to finally give it a try. The restaurant is basically […]

Bruxie opens 2nd location in Brea

November 25, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Ahhhh what can I say about Bruxie that hasn’t been said already? The original Orange location is an institution and now, with its second bigger flashier location in  Brea, you know they’re here to stay! The waffle-like exterior is impressive, standing out among the chain stores and chain restaurants in the area. The garage-feel is […]

old school charm at Paul’s Coffee Shop

November 7, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

One weekend morning, I was pondering where to go for breakfast and Austin of The Hungry Dogg blog suggested I check out Paul’s Coffee Shop. So off we went and arrived around 10.30am and the restaurant was already pretty packed, but of course it is having been featured on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. […]

I’ve waited for years for Le Pain Quotidien to open a location in Orange County and now, the wait is no more. LPQ opened at Fashion Island, Newport Beach this week and I am now only 15 minutes away from a pain au chocolat or a coffee served up European style — in a bowl […]

A visit to Break of Dawn is always memorable

September 27, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Break of Dawn has become one of those places my friends and I like to go and get some grub whenever we feel the urge for some eclectic fare. It is strange that I love BoD when I’ve never been a huge fan of Western breakfasts preferring to eat another option when given the opportunity. […]

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.
