Buddha’s Belly is nostalgia in my mouth

August 15, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

We visited Buddha’s Belly a few weekends ago, a restaurant I remember seeing time after time again when my BFF used to lived in Santa Monica. The restaurant is only a block away from the water and I remember always seeing it packed with people whenever we drove by. As we drove by it on […]

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.

Starfish won me over with soup … and more

March 29, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 23 Comments

Starfish Laguna is one of those places. I recently visited again and was drawn to the Hot and Sour Soup ($5), filled with organic […]

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.
