very hit and miss at Hopscotch

October 15, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I’ve been wanting to visit Hopscotch for months and months now, but whenever my friends have been, I’ve been busy and I thought I’d never make it here! The Hungry Dogg and I had planned on going to a late lunch this particular day, but the place we were going to wasn’t open, so we […]

Bagels & Brew and much much more

September 12, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 24 Comments

I’ve never been a coffee drinker, and I rarely eat bagels, so when I saw Bagels & Brew, it never dawned on me to give them a try. It wasn’t until my friend suggested we have lunch here that I actually found what that this place was SO much more than just coffee and bagels. […]

Tender Greens is now a new favorite!

March 7, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 25 Comments

My BFF has been asking me for years “have you been to Tender Greens yet?” My answer has always been nope. She lives in LA county where there are a handful of Tender Greens, but there wasn’t one in Orange County until recently. A couple of weeks ago, she asked me again and I told her […]

my week in NYC: the dosa man at NYU

October 9, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

We were on the hunt for the “dosa man” and time was running out. It was already 3pm and NY Dosas closes at 4pm. All we had to work with was that he is parked at Washington Square. Our cab driver was no help, he didn’t even know where we wanted to go. WASHINGTON SQUARE […]

Formosa is always comforting and tasty

September 25, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Whenever I am in a slump, or I’ve eaten too many non-Asian meals, I find myself gravitating to Formosa, a little hole-in-the-wall in Lake Forest which provides me with a lot of comfort. I’m not sure whether it is because Charlie and Vivian, the couple who runs the joint with Charlie’s brothers, are just so […]

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.
