AnQi redeems itself plus a giveaway

December 19, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 14 Comments

I’ve had a love hate relationship with AnQi ever since it opened. Love the decor, don’t quite love the food. Through the years I’ve been back several times and each time, my thoughts and feelings have stayed pretty much the same …… that is, until now. I recently came for lunch with a bunch of friends […]

a long awaited visit to Tar & Roses

December 17, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

It took a while for me to post this, another birthday celebration, this time with my closest friends, at Tar & Roses, a restaurant I was invited to try when they first opened, but never had time to visit. Now, almost two years of opening, it was still on our list-to-try, so a reservation was […]

Little Sparrow spruces up Santa Ana dining

November 14, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

I’ve been longing to eat at Little Sparrow after hearing all the hype surrounding this place, a new eatery in downtown Santa Ana.

October 11, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

We’d been hearing the buzz about Hinoki & The Bird in magazines, on TV, and just in general lately. We found an excuse to make the drive up to celebrate a friend’s birthday and to check out what the hype was all about. The brainchild of David Myers, the man behind Comme Ca, in LA […]

loving The Blind Pig in RSM

October 7, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

I’ve always felt Rancho Santa Margarita is too far to go for a meal, but ever since The Blind Pig opened, I’ve found myself rather eager to make that drive to eat there. The restaurant has a view of the lake and it is so pleasant to sit outside on the patio just relaxing and enjoying […]

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.
