Most of you have heard me gush on about The Vox Kitchen in lil Saigon. It is one of our favorite restaurants and honestly, we can’t get enough of it. Recently, a sister restaurant opened in Fountain Valley, and GEM Dining is set to become one of the most sought-after dining spots in OC, at […]

a very LIT Cafe in Anaheim

June 7, 2019 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Anaheim is not a city I frequently travel to, but after a visit to recently opened LIT Cafe, I’d say, I may have to make that trip more frequently. Nestled in an unassuming strip mall, LIT Cafe is a minimalist space which is both comfortable and relaxing. I noticed electrical outlets under the banquette seating, […]

A new Spring menu at The Ritz Carlton’s Raya

April 1, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Raya at The Ritz Carlton is another restaurant I have not visited in a long time.

My previous experiences with Chef Steve have […]

One late afternoon, while driving through San Diego from Baja, back to Orange County, we decide to pop into Blush Ice Bar and see what this newly opened restaurant has to offer. I am not able to make it to the opening party as it is on a weeknight, but parties don’t give me a clear […]

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.
