Although I’m Chinese, I’m not well-versed when it comes to the numerous ethnic minority groups in China, and have no experience with Uyghur cuisine from China’s Xinjiang province. Kashgar Grill is located on Jeffrey Road across the street from Manassero Farms, in the […]

stellar fare at Irvine’s North Italia

January 23, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

The plaza is very busy making it difficult to find parking on most nights of the week. Luckily, there […]

SIMPLY the best CUPCAKES in OC

November 9, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

The store […]

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.
