Following is the wonderful narration of Lord Krishna reciprocating with His friend Sudama:
On Akshay Tritiya Sudama offered morsel of chipped rice to Lord Krishna in Dwarka and in returned he was reciprocated by Lord Krishna with opulence of big palaces, instead of cottage, made of valuable stones and jewels, glittering like the sun, moon and rays of fire.
When the Sudama entered his personal apartment in the palace, he saw that it was not an apartment but the residence of the king of heaven. The palace was surrounded by many columns of jewels. The couches and the bedsteads were made of ivory and bedecked with gold and jewels, and the bedding was as white as the foam of milk and as soft as a lotus. There were many whisks hanging from golden rods, and many golden thrones with sitting cushions as soft as lotus flowers. –Srimad Bhagavatam 10.81
