Driftwood Kitchen is the whole package

September 11, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

I’m generally not impressed with restaurants offering a stunning a view. I find them relying on the gorgeous setting and slacking when it comes to the menu. Driftwood Kitchen is not one of those places. In fact, it exceeded my expectations when it comes to stellar cuisine. The ocean backdrop is just the icing on the cake. We […]

ceviche festival at The Ritz Carlton

September 4, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

Saying I love raw fish is a bit of an understatement. Sashimi, poke, tiradito, ceviche, regardless what you call it, by adding a mixture of salty, sweet and tart, the fish is transformed into something quite mouthpuckeringly (I just made up a word) good. So for all you raw fish aficionados out there, September is […]

Several weeks ago, I was invited to join a group of travel writers in Rosarito, Baja for a weekend of adventure. Because our schedule was a jam-packed one, I won’t be able to fit everything into one post, but instead, I will space everything out into several stories. Seeing how Rosarito is a seaside town and we […]

Selanne Steak Tavern is a definite winner

May 8, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

True story… I thought Teemu Selanne was Samoan. Going off the name, I seriously thought he was Samoan. Then, I was told he is Finnish. Boy did I feel stupid. From everything I’ve heard, Teemu Selanne is a class act, and so many of my friends have been raving about his Laguna restaurant, Selanne Steak […]

Oceanside’s Hello Betty Fish House is a breath of fresh air

April 14, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

While having lunch with a San Diegan friend of mine recently, I was told that downtown Oceanside has been getting a face-lift of late with new restaurants and businesses sprouting out of nowhere. So when I drove down to have lunch with a friend of mine who lives nearby, I made sure to be mindful […]

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.
