Siam Station opened during the pandemic, and has done very well solely with take out, during this difficult time. We’ve ordered to-go many times, but this is the first dine-in experience we’ve had here, and I have to admit, it’s damn good. We start off with Papaya Pok Pok Salad ($12) a bright and delicious […]

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.
