Coco Thai Bistro is a cute little thai joint in downtown Narberth. They have a decent lunch deal where you get a soup or appetizer and an entree. It’s not as good of a deal as some of the other joints (I’m thinking of you, Chiangmai in Conshy), but it’s still pretty solid. It’s a typical small, family-run joint, decorated with, well, as you could have guessed, lots of elephants
The coconut soup… with coconut milk, veggies, chicken, lemon grass, you know the drill. If you like coconut milk, good for you. If you don’t, like me, then stay away!
I wasn’t feeling soup that day so I went with the veggie dumplings. Aren’t these adorable? They tasted great too. They look a little weird though, but don’t let that dissuade you. They’re delish and served with a sweet chili sauce. I loved the pickled cucumbers too.
The thai basil with tofu and a bunch of veggies. You know this is good.
I love me some drunken noodles so of course, that’s what I got. I got it with chicken and I scarfed this all down!
This was the coconut tart, the dessert special of the day. It had a flaky bottom, raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, and coconut shavings, and was apparently very good and delicious. They definitely get points for presentation. We’re pretty sure a family runs this place. It was sad that we were the only people in the dining room during our visit because the food is quite great and so is the service. If ever in Narberth, stop by for some delicious thai!

I wanted to go to Blue Fin with my mom, but damn it, they’re closed on mondays. Note to you all… do not trust the hours on Yelp. Seriously, because if I hadn’t called Blue Fin and had just gone all the way there, trusting the hours on Yelp, I would have been angered. So with that little setback, I decided to go for thai instead. And I wanted to stay close to home, so we went to Siamese Princess. This place is totally small and cute and decorated up the wazoo with paraphanalia from thailand.
I decided to go crazy and get a random appetizer – steamed kow-park-more. These were a couple of steamed thin rice crepes filled with chicken, turnips, and ground peanuts, topped with fried garlic and veggies, served on a bed of julienned veggies with a vinaigrette soy sauce. Strangely enough, the actual crepe part was my least favorite part of this dish, but I liked everything else about it. Here’s to me for trying new things!
My ma got the chicken and eggplant dish. It was chock full of chicken, eggplant, and all kinds of veggies in a savory and slightly spicy sauce. This didn’t have coconut milk in it, which neither of us like, so it was a win for us. Sorry, I forget the official name of this, and damn Siamese Princess for not having much of an online presence.
I was feeling noodley, so I got the pad see  yew with tofu. Why tofu? I like it, and I just didn’t feel like chicken that night. This was chock full of veggies as well, which I thoroughly appreciated. I always love how the green beans are barely cooked, just the way I like them. And I love me some wide flat rice noodles. Everything tasted super fresh in this dish. And it was plenty of food. There’s only one lady working in the front of the house. Even still, she did a great job, was friendly, and it didn’t take long for the food to come out. I’ll definitely be back!

It’s always random the hours that restaurants have on weekends. We failed at going to one place that wasn’t going to be open for a little bit, so we headed over to Pei Wei instead. I hadn’t been here in awhile. I don’t remember being able to get beer there before, but you definitely can. And you can get big ass beers.
We totally got bamboozled by the menu. We read Japanese Chile Ramen and totally thought this was going to be a bowl of ramen noodle soup. Total order fail! Instead, this just ended up being a noodle dish with ramen noodles in it. You cannot imagine the disappointment. Anyhoo, this was a heaping bowl of egg noodles with a slightly spicy soy mirin sauce, scallions, garlic, bean sprouts, carrots, onions, lime, cilantro, chile peppers, and tons of tofu that we’d picked. It tasted fine, but it was totally not what we thought it would be. So it made us a little sad.
This is the Thai Dynamite with crispy chicken. It’s cooked in a sriracha sauce withh lime, scallions, garlic, red bell peppers, carrots, and thai basil. While there were some visible scallions, the carrots and bell peppers were few and far between.
I’m a creature of habit with certain restaurants, so here’s my Japanese Teriyaki rice bowl, which is my favorite dish here. It’s got a nice thick sweet soy glaze, onions, napa cabbage, carrots, spinach, scallions, and sesame seeds. And as usual, I got mine with brown rice, some of the best brown rice, ever! Why would two people order three entrees? Well, we thought we were going to share a nice bowl of ramen. Cue the sadface! At least we got to drink the crap out of some mr. pibb.
