The Hake Kitchen & Bar — La Jolla

April 9, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 4 Comments

It is Easter Sunday, and we are in La Jolla. The view is spectacular, and I am quite happy not having to go downtown on a holiday weekend, rubbing elbows with the entire world, all here enjoying the glorious day. However, we have reservations at The Hake Kitchen & Bar, and so, off we go. Luckily, there is […]

BoD RAW: a Michelin worthy meal

April 6, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 3 Comments

Last Friday, the brainchild of Chef Dee Nguyen of Break of Dawn, featuring Daniel “Doki” Kim, launched at Nguyen’s brunch spot. Aptly named “BoD RAW”, after Doki’s experience with raw fish — and every dish comprises an element of raw seafood —  the pop-up concept at the Laguna Hills restaurant offers two seatings on both Friday and Saturday evenings with […]

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 […]

Oceanside’s Hello Betty Fish House is a breath of fresh air

April 14, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

While having lunch with a San Diegan friend of mine recently, I was told that downtown Oceanside has been getting a face-lift of late with new restaurants and businesses sprouting out of nowhere. So when I drove down to have lunch with a friend of mine who lives nearby, I made sure to be mindful […]

Tommy Bahama’s Fish Fridays + giveaway

March 20, 2014 Mad Hungry Woman 31 Comments

It’s been a while since I last dined at Tommy Bahama Island Grille. I love the tropical atmosphere and on this day, we opted to sit out on the patio to take advantage of the glorious day we were having here in southern California. The cool breeze made for a very leisurely afternoon indeed. The […]

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.
