"As spicily adventurous and lusciously satisfying as the renowned Singaporean street food Kevin Kwan's characters argue over; hot and sizzling, like the best satay, and dreamily transporting, like everyone's favorite dessert--goreng pisang.

--Lisa See, author of Dreams of Joy and Shanghai Girls
"[An] instant favorite. . . . Opulence and zaniness reign."
