August 14, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I was invited to dinner at Mr Chow Beverly Hills this week to taste some wines from Terlato Winery. Mr John Terlato, a third generation vintner presented seven of his wines during the meal. As Mr Terlato says, “Chinese food is difficult to pair with wines, and we are here, together, to taste and decide which […]

rediscovering Chef Chen in Irvine

I remember quite vividly, the last time I’m here. We are taking my grandmother out for lunch and she is still mobile enough to travel around in her wheelchair. She passed away five years ago — and I don’t remember visiting again after that time possibly six or more years ago. It isn’t for any […]

Hakkasan ushers in Chinese New Year right!

This week sees the start of another year on the lunar calendar. On Thursday, the Year of the Goat ushers in a time of peace, harmony, kindness and generosity (the Year of the Horse has been a tumultuous one). For me, Chinese New Year is a bitter-sweet time because my parents live so far away and […]

San Diego’s DaoFu takes home-made to another level

I am always excited when I find a little mom and pop spot regardless of where I am. On a recent trip to San Diego, a friend, who had been to DaoFu previously, brought me here because he thought I would love the food.  He wasn’t wrong. The sign alone intrigued and piqued my curiosity: “Home-made […]

Tavern on 2 tantalizes my tastebuds

July 7, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

If the name Frank De Loach has never crossed your ears before, you’re definitely missing out. This is an unconventional chef who thinks outside of the box, one who is not afraid to play with flavors and bring together ingredients some may not be familiar with. In short, not everyone get his food.  But for those who […]

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.
