Terrace by Mix Mix at South Coast Plaza

October 11, 2018 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

One of my favorite Orange County chefs, Ross Pangilinan, has opened his second location, at South Coast Plaza. Terrace by Mix Mix is a fast casual lunch spot by day, and by night, it is transformed into a sit-down, full service restaurant. I have been a fan of Chef Ross since his days as Executive […]

Tabu Shabu revisited + giveaway

September 24, 2018 Mad Hungry Woman 19 Comments

I recently had dinner with my son at Tabu Shabu. I’ll have to admit, it has been a very long time since my last visit, but it’s good to see that they are still busy, and that people are enjoying shabu even when the weather is warm. The best part of Tabu Shabu is how […]

Thunderking Coffee Bar at Social, in Costa Mesa has been open for several months now, and after many visits, I’ve pretty much tried almost every single item on their breakfast/brunch menu. Coffee lovers will undoubtedly find it difficult to choose a beverage because, quite frankly, there are just SO many, that it’ll make your head […]

The Water Brewery has become my new normal

June 9, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

Something’s happening to my body lately, and I find myself eating less and less red meat, leaning more towards a pescatarian diet. So it isn’t surprising that I’m cooking more vegetables, and choosing plant-based foods as part of my daily diet. I’ve been hearing a lot about The Water Brewery and the vegetarian menu by Chefs […]

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.
