We are at Coasterra — the latest addition to the Cohn Restaurant Group empire, which also owns, to name a few, Vintana, […]

Tommy Bahama is an oldie, but a consistent goodie

September 25, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

It has been quite some time since I last dined here, except for an event several months ago. Many of my friends like Tommy Bahama for its casual environment, friendly service and consistent menu. I am no different. Usually, my friends and I come for lunch, but on this evening, we are here for a casual […]

One late afternoon, while driving through San Diego from Baja, back to Orange County, we decide to pop into Blush Ice Bar and see what this newly opened restaurant has to offer. I am not able to make it to the opening party as it is on a weeknight, but parties don’t give me a clear […]

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.
