Buddha’s Belly is nostalgia in my mouth

August 15, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

We visited Buddha’s Belly a few weekends ago, a restaurant I remember seeing time after time again when my BFF used to lived in Santa Monica. The restaurant is only a block away from the water and I remember always seeing it packed with people whenever we drove by. As we drove by it on […]

my week in NYC: carb overload in Chinatown

October 11, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

What trip to NYC would be complete without a visit to the legendary Joe’s Shanghai for their famous xiao long bao? I’ve been to Joe’s before, some 14 years ago and even back then, the XLBs were seriously decadent, especially outside of Asia. Even though they have several locations now, I wanted to go back […]

a marriage of Chinese & Indian at Tangy Tomato

May 3, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 5 Comments

While […]

I’ve never been a fan of Asian fusion, but something happened this year. I found myself surprised by some non-traditional Asian cuisine and even liking some of the westernized food on offer. Starfish Laguna is one of those places. I recently visited again and was drawn to the Hot and Sour Soup ($5), filled with organic […]

Chinese breakfast at Four Seas wins my vote

July 20, 2011 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

My BFF recently moved to the area and it is so lucky that this place is right down the hill from her house. So when I last visited her, we dropped by Four Seas to grab some Taiwanese breakfast. The only person who speaks or reads the menu (it’s all in Chinese) was me, so […]

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.
