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 […]

Driftwood Kitchen is the whole package

September 11, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

I’m generally not impressed with restaurants offering a stunning a view. I find them relying on the gorgeous setting and slacking when it comes to the menu. Driftwood Kitchen is not one of those places. In fact, it exceeded my expectations when it comes to stellar cuisine. The ocean backdrop is just the icing on the cake. We […]

September 8, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

If you’re craving some soul food from the islands, there is no other place than Eva’s Caribbean Kitchen. The place is on PCH, but if you blink, you’ll miss it. I know because I’ve done it on more than one occasion! The restaurant is vibrantly hued, reminiscent of the islands and its tropical vibe. It is warm, […]

Starfish won me over with soup … and more

March 29, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 23 Comments

I’ve never been a fan of Asian fusion, but something happened this year. I found myself surprised by some non-traditional Asian cuisine and even liking some of the westernized food on offer. Starfish Laguna is one of those places. I recently visited again and was drawn to the Hot and Sour Soup ($5), filled with organic […]

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.
