"Got my wedding cake and wedding cupcakes here. Very pricey (spent more on the cakes than the dress). BUT all of it was delicious." - nicholel on Betty Bakery

"This was the essence of lobster flavor with sweet flesh and perfect texture. ... The lemon verbena put the entire dish over the edge with a silky understated but still present lemony taste—like summer on a plate." - OC Mutt on poached Nova Scotia lobster at Eleven Madison Park

"Recently, I've found that even when I order my food 'pet pet' or 'pet ma' I've been getting food that is spicy but not the full throttle capsicum blast that I expect. It seems that they've had too many people asking for heat that they couldn't handle. When I mentioned this to Mrs. Sripraphai she told me about their new codeword. If you like your food HOT and I mean REALLY, REALLY HOT, ask for it 'bomb.'" - corgi on Sripraphai
