Akatora — Manhattan Beach

March 11, 2016 Mad Hungry Woman 1 Comment

It is always difficult to choose where to dine when I’m up in LA, but it’s great when you have friends in the know. Recently, I visit Akatora, a lovely Japanese eatery in Manhattan Beach serving beautifully crafted food. I’m always wary when I have to come to tourist-friendly destinations due to parking, but there […]

Issan fare at Can Coon

March 13, 2015 Mad Hungry Woman 2 Comments

Many years ago, a group of us visited Can Coon for some delicious Thai food. I remember how much food we ate and how the food blew us all away. My friend told me they’ve moved to a new location and when the opportunity cropped up this week — we were returning back from LA […]

While our visit to Lüke is a perfect example of modern New Orleans cuisine, I am adamant about trying something old school before I leave. I am in search […]

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.
