leisurely lunch at Sapphire Laguna

June 14, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 17 Comments

Tommy Bahama’s delicious island style

June 7, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 41 Comments

I was recently invited to a tasting of Tommy Bahama’s new menu items and as always, I am always excited because I absolutely adore Chef Jacqueline Nabong. Her dishes are always fresh, light and flavorful, drawing upon her Hawaiian heritage and staying true to the island-feel of Tommy Bahama’s care-free image. Our dinner was served […]

Tabu Shabu opens in Costa Mesa

May 15, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

I’m not really sure what the appeal of hotpot is to kids, but my son sure loves it, and he’s not even fussy what kind it is. Between Chinese, Japanese, and what we do at home, he will even eat it when it is scorchingly hot outside. This time, I didn’t bring him along, but […]

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.
