Tommy Bahama’s delicious island style

June 7, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 41 Comments

I was recently invited to a tasting of Tommy Bahama’s new menu items and as always, I am always excited because I absolutely adore Chef Jacqueline Nabong. Her dishes are always fresh, light and flavorful, drawing upon her Hawaiian heritage and staying true to the island-feel of Tommy Bahama’s care-free image. Our dinner was served […]

Shimbashi offers upscale izakaya dining with a killer view

June 5, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

I don’t get down south too often, but I’m glad I did when I visited  Shimbashi Izakaya in Del Mar. We were lucky that it was a gorgeous day because the restaurant is located in an ideal spot overlooking a glorious view of the ocean. The view alone is enough, but this izakaya offers some really […]

even my son likes fish at Spike’s Fish House

March 22, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 18 Comments

My feelings towards Spike’s Fish House is this — even if I didn’t like them, I would LOVE them simply because my son, who never eats fish, ate everything we ordered. But then again, if it wasn’t good food, my son would not have eaten it in the first place, so that was a moot […]

Great Mex is a surprising little joint

February 23, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 11 Comments

Ever since a friend of mine introduced me to this place, I’ve been coming here whenever I’ve been craving Mexican food. A small hole-in-the-wall, Great Mex is one of those places where food is simple but delicious and absolutely down-to-earth without any pretension. There are three locations in Orange County and I recently visited their […]

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.
