Pop’s Cafe — a Santa Ana oldie

March 9, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I wish Irvine had little places with some sort of character, but sadly, in order to get that experience, I have to drive 20 minutes to Santa Ana to find it. Pop’s Cafe has been around awhile. The original “pops” is long gone, but apart from the owners being different, I doubt anything else has […]

XT Patisserie

Up until the end of last year, I had never met a macaron I liked. Around Christmas last year I was finally introduced to a macaron which blew my mind. And I have to thank Kristin of  Meringue Bake Shop for that. In fact, I don’t know if I should be thanking Kristin or cursing […]

RA Sushi is well known for its happy hour. In fact, the happy hour draws in such huge crowds more often than not, I’ve had to leave feeling rather frustrated because it was virtually impossible to get a chair to sit on. If you don’t want that clubby feel, go at lunch time. The mood […]

I don’t get it. I just don’t get how a place like Caffe Gazelle isn’t just overflowing with customers. The first time I came here was out of sheer dumb luck. I stumbled upon this place when I was meeting my elementary school friend Heidi for dinner one night. I got there a little early […]

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.
