March 5, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I remember quite vividly, the last time I’m here. We are taking my grandmother out for lunch and she is still mobile enough to travel around in her wheelchair. She passed away five years ago — and I don’t remember visiting again after that time possibly six or more years ago. It isn’t for any […]

Hakkasan ushers in Chinese New Year right!

February 16, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

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.
