>OC Wine Mart & Tasting Bar — a new wine concept in Irvine

October 4, 2010 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

> I’m no wine expert. In fact, I don’t understand how some wines get 87pts and some get 97pts, or how some can boast 5 different hints — I usually can detect one or two — and have a certain end note. When it comes to wine, all I know is: 1) if I like […]

Irvine CA, wine

>Blackmarket Bakery — sinfully good!

> sweet treats Almost every Saturday you’ll find me at the Irvine Farmer’s Market, bright and early, as I like to get there before 8.30am to beat the crowds. Most often than not, I’m there on an empty stomach and after I’ve parked my car, my usual trip from the parking lot to the vendors […]

>Taiko — good value homestyle Japanese

July 14, 2010 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

>I am not the type of person to wait for a table, because when I’m hungry, I need to eat right now. This is precisely the reason why I don’t go to Taiko often. When have you ever seen people camped out outside a restaurant waiting for it to open? If you’ve ever driven past […]

>Yard House — a very happy hour

> I don’t drink often, nor do I drink much, so the concept of happy hour is sorta lost on me, except for the fact that most of the time, the food would be served at happy hour prices as well, and THAT is music to my ears! Generally the only time I go to […]

>Harry’s Deli — way above the rest

June 15, 2010 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

> When I first heard about Harry’s Deli, my first instinct was “how good can a sandwich be” — right? Wrong! I’d first seen all the great reviews on www.yelp.com and as usual I was skeptical and wanted to wait a bit before going, after the hype dies down if you will, but that day […]

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.
