PB Cupcakes In Orange County
I have a strange love for peanut butter so I've tried just about every peanut butter dessert in the OC area. That Doclissimo bakery had the best tasting one so far. They actually have peanut butter frosting on two of their cupcakes but I've only tried the Monkey Love one so far. It was a banana cake with peanut butter frosting and it was so yummy! The frosting was very fluffy and light.
New cupcake shop!!!
Okay, I think I'm officially hooked now. Had to stop by this place again to try their little cheesecakes. I dare to say it was just as good as the Cheesecake Factory. It was definately a different style because it had one firm and one very soft layer while the Cheesecake Facotry just has one big firm layer. What ever it looked like it was just the tastiest little thing ever. I got the blueberry cheesecake.
Also got a orange creamsicle cupcake. Was going to save this for tomorrow but had to take a bite to try it. It was so yummy! It taste just like those orange cream sodas I drank when I was a kid. This place really has some fun flavors.
New cupcake shop!!!
Woops I'm sorry, my friend also told me I forgot to mention where it's at ;p
The bakeshop is next to triangle square right where the 55 freeway ends.

New cupcake shop!!!
Hi all,
Just wanted to share with everyone that a new bakeshop opened by my house. The place has the some of the best cupcakes I've had in this area. Their red velvet is to die for! I also tried the Pink Lemonade and Lemonberry. I have to admit I was very please with each of them. Their decor is very cute too.

Where can I get a good loaf of ciabatta bread?
I've never tasted it myself but I know Whole Foods bakes ciabatta breads loafs every morning. I know their sourdough breads taste delicious.
Best Thai food in O.C.?
Okay, so everyone was right on the dot. Thai Nakorn was awesome.
I found another pretty decent place so I thought I would share with everyone. I've tried so many other places in the past couple months and this spot definitely got a top rating. Its a very small restaurant but the food is still cooked by some little old grandma in the back so you know its going to be good.

Best Thai food in O.C.?
Hi everyone,
I've fairly new to this area but I'm having a problem finding good Thai food in Orange County. Every place seems to have the same standard items on the menu and the flavor just doesn't match what I eat while visiting the country of Thailand. Anyone have a good recommendation for an authentic tasting place or a really good hole in the wall. I haven't tried northern O.C. yet so maybe all the good places are hiding up there?
Newport Beach Restaurant Week 2008--which restaurant are you going to try?
Has anyone eaten at that Royal Thai place on the menu list? I've driven by it several times and always wondered if it was good. I'm new to the area and haven't had chance to check it out yet.
Where can I buy the best steaks?
I am an absolute steak lover and eat a good steak at least once a week. I just moved down to Southern California but have found a couple good spots to buy beef (all mentioned here already). You should really try Whole Foods though. I'm not saying they are the best but I was really surprised how good the quality of meats they have. The problem is I know not ever Whole Foods is the same for some strange reason. The best one I've found is in Tustin which seems to be the biggest one I've seen so far.
How you cook the steak plays a big part in it too!
