a new French-Japanese concept delights and impresses — Hong Kong

August 4, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

It is always a culinary adventure when visiting Hong Kong, and this recent trip was no different. A friend of mine works for Harbour City, and informs me that a new restaurant is to open and I need to try it. I manage to secure a spot the day after opening, to visit Haku, a […]

at Tajima there is ramen for everyone — San Diego

March 28, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

San Diego has some seriously decent Asian restaurants, clearly evident as you drive down Convoy Street, on both sides of Balboa. From Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and a few Vietnamese thrown in, you’re never short of choices whenever that craving hits. I usually go to Rakiraki for ramen, but on this occasion, I’m at Tajima instead. It […]

Akatora — Manhattan Beach

March 11, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

It is always difficult to choose where to dine when I’m up in LA, but it’s great when you have friends in the know. Recently, I visit Akatora, a lovely Japanese eatery in Manhattan Beach serving beautifully crafted food.

Japanese Chinese food at Aoki No Chuuka

February 1, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

I’ve been seeing Aoki No Chuuka pop up on Yelp’s “Hot and New” restaurants list and want to try it out. It is located in the old Tabento spot – sad Tabento is no longer, as it was one of the better Japanese restaurants in OC – and offers a menu focusing on Japanese style […]

Gu Ramen Taps & Tapas — Laguna Beach

December 14, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Although Laguna Beach is home to a few Japanese restaurants, there isn’t one dedicated exclusively to ramen. While Gu Ramen Taps & Tapas has “ramen” in its name, the little place on the corner of PCH and Thalia, also offers a tapas menu on top of other things, should you be dining with friends who are not interested in eating […]

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.
