For our monthly lunch with Karin and George, Jay and Ken FINALLY returned to Sophie's Kitchen (after 2 1/2 years!), 522 Washington Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19147 (215-271-0888), on Saturday, November 12, 2022. We had a wonderful time! So happy they reopened for lunch!
We shared the following dishes, which were all very flavorful and tasty:
A4. Muhk Bom-Bpong - deep fried calamari tossed in salt & black pepper, served with sweet chili sauce
A3. Slaab-Mohn Bom-Bpong - deep fried chicken wings, with sweet chili sauce, lemongrass, and tamarind sauce
A7. Plov-Gkong-Gkaeb-Bom-Bpong - lightly battered friend frog legs, served with black pepper and lime sauce
A5. Bong-Gkeah Bom-Bpong - lightly battered, salted & black pepper seasoned fried shrimp, served with sweet chili sauce
E3. Chha-Gkroeung Sach Samoth - shrimp, calamari, and mussels sautéed in coconut lemongrass spices with celery, bell peppers and topped with Holy basil seafood (we asked for 4 spice level, but it was not very hot)
T8. Trey Jearn Juorn - fried fish with ginger - we had the branzino and selected the sweet and sour tamarind sauce. A small mango salad was included which was delicious!
A1. Sach Gko Aang Jong-Gkac - grilled beef skewers marinated in Khmer spices (Kroeung)
We were quite satisfied - no dessert this time!
We were not rushed, which was pleasant and our server was very good, even though she was the only one on duty for quite a while. We will return!
