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 […]

just another breakfast spot

Breakfast has never been my favorite meal of the day, but I do like eating breakfast items for dinner. Whenever I do go in the mornings, I like anything with poached eggs as they are my favorite, when perfect. After several visits to Kimmie’s Coffee Cup, I can tell you it has been a hit […]

Kappo Hana is a hidden gem

Like its sister restaurant and neighbor, M Street Kitchen has a character of its own more often found on the east coast than here on the west. Serving breakfast, lunch and an early dinner, the menu of […]

Hero Cafe — a healthy alternative to the usual fare

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.
