Chapter One reclaims its rightful place in DTSA

June 12, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been quite some time since I last visited Chapter One. In fact, I’ve been meaning to stop by ever since Chef Jason Montelibano returned to helm the kitchen. Being the huge chicken wings fan that I am, how can I not order Kimchi Wings ($10) a la Chef Chicken Wang? These chicken wings and […]

The Water Brewery has become my new normal

June 9, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Something’s happening to my body lately, and I find myself eating less and less red meat, leaning more towards a pescatarian diet. So it isn’t surprising that I’m cooking more vegetables, and choosing plant-based foods as part of my daily diet. I’ve been hearing a lot about The Water Brewery and the vegetarian menu by Chefs […]

The Recess Room revisited

June 2, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It’s been six months since The Recess Room secured its liquor license and I’ve been wanting to revisit the restaurant for quite some time! The first thing we target is the cocktail menu!

Taco Mesa is dedicated to healthy living

Taco Mesa in Orange is one of those eateries that attracts a diversity of customers so typical in California. This fast-casual restaurant embodies a warm environment with friendly staff, and a menu that is both affordable and tasty. However, it is the restaurant’s house-made tortillas, using non-GMO corn, that is the biggest draw for me. These soft, perfectly […]

Grape Leaf Mediterranean — Tustin

May 22, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a quick Mediterranean meal, stop by Grape Leaf Mediterranean in Tustin where everything is cooked-to-order. A fast casual spot, you order at the counter, pick a seat and wait for your food to arrive within 15 minutes or so. We tried the Lentil Soup ($3.99/8oz $5.99/16oz) a flavorful bowl dotted with […]

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.
