We have no idea the spring/summer menu has just rolled out and there are many dishes reflecting the new season. […]

an exquisite Chinese New Year finale at San Diego’s Emerald restaurant

February 22, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

ÉPURE, fine dining at its best — Hong Kong

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.
