Bistro SouthEast (Philly)

On a whim, Jay and Ken decided to visit Bistro SouthEast, 1824 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146 (267-758-2838), on Saturday, February 22, 2020. We took Patco and saved on tolls, parking, and stress. We had a wonderful meal and are planning more outings to Philly!

We shared the Roll Sampler with one tofu, one shrimp, and one lobster summer roll, as well as spring rolls:

We always love the Thai Sweet Chili Wings...

Ken wanted a Banh Mi, so he devoured the BBQ Pork.

Jay wanted to try something different, so she ordered the Rice Plate with Lemongrass Pork Belly, half of which went home for later...

Wine enjoyed:

Everything was fresh and flavorful! We love this place!



While walking back to Patco, we noticed quite a few BYOBs on South Street between 18th and 16th Streets that looked very interesting including:

Sophie's Kitchen (Philly)

After a rocky start (parking is ridiculous!), Jay and Ken celebrated George's birthday for lunch at Sophie's Kitchen, 522 Washington Avenue, Philadelphia, PA , on Saturday, February 15, 2020. We enjoyed everything!

We shared the following:

Muhk Bom-Bpong - deep fried calamari tossed in salt and black pepper, served with sweet chili sauce. Fried to perfection!

Slaab-Mohn Bom-Bpong - deep fried chicken wings served with sweet chili sauce.

Bong-Gkeah Bom-Bpong - lightly battered, salted & black pepper season shrimp, served with sweet chili sauce. Yum!

Lobster soup special - LOTS of FLAVORFUL lobster, in a beautifully seasoned broth.

Chha-M'Nauh - Beef with pineapple. Seasoned to perfection and very tender.

Beef skewers

Plov-Gkong-Gkaeb-Bom-Bpong - lightly battered frog legs, served with black pepper and lime sauce. Jay and George were quite impressed!

The wings were so good, we ordered them again!

We will return!
