satisfying Japanese at Gohan

August 20, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I’ve been to Gohan several times through the years and usually for lunch. The selection is good and when I don’t feel like waiting in line at Fukada, this suffices. The restaurant is really nice, minimal decor, clean and uncluttered. Service is pretty good as well even when it gets busy. A bowl of house-made […]

Buddha’s Belly is nostalgia in my mouth

August 15, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

We visited Buddha’s Belly a few weekends ago, a restaurant I remember seeing time after time again when my BFF used to lived in Santa Monica. The restaurant is only a block away from the water and I remember always seeing it packed with people whenever we drove by. As we drove by it on […]

Umami packed ramen at Rakiraki San Diego

August 1, 2013 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

I was scrolling through Twitter one day and saw an entry about a ramen place serving tsukemen, but it was in San Diego. I love tsukemen, a ramen style noodle dish served with a dipping broth on the side. Very few places in OC serve this and I’m always looking for better ones to try. […]

October 7, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

One of the highlights of my trip was seeing my friend Julie, whom I’ve known for almost two decades now, and every single time we get together, whether in NYC or California, we’ve always eaten sushi. Therefore, it wasn’t unusual that our first meal together this trip was — SUSHI! Jules made reservations at 15 […]

Mokkoji: a gourmet shabu experience

July 24, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 5 Comments

It’s summer and I have my son every day which means an endless amount of thinking about lunch and what to feed him. I love it when he suggests something he wants to eat and last week, he wanted to go to shabu shabu (again!) and I wanted to go someplace we haven’t been before. […]

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.
