Congratulations on your opening @kamparphilly! This great new addition to the neighborhood serves tasty Malaysian street food and Hakka flavors. The menu showcases a variety of small plates and starters, noodles, and larger entrees to share among the table. Be sure to try the chili pan mee (my personal favorite 🌶️), wagyu suen poon chee, ayam goreng berempah, and the nasi lemark (which is the perfect side dish to any of the main entrees!). And don’t forget to check out the cocktails! Best of luck Chef Ange! #BVNA #phillyfoodie #visitphilly

In just one year, 2023, the #LitterFreeBV sweeping program cleaned our streets of 19,275 pounds of trash. The entire sweeping effort is made possible through your donations - so THANK YOU! However, our reserves are down, and the sweeping season starts up again soon. We need your help to meet this deadline! We now have a special opportunity to make sure we can do this. A generous neighbor, who has chosen to remain anonymous but who we heartily thank, has issued a challenge. They have contributed $1,250 and will contribute up to another $1,250 for every additional contribution that we receive. This means that your tax-deductible gift will be worth twice as much. We have until March 15 to meet this match and ensure that sweeping starts in April – just two months away. Please make a contribution now. It’s an investment in your home, your neighborhood, and all that we value about Bella Vista. To learn more about the program and how to donate, visit our link in bio. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT! #litterfreeBV #bellavistaphl #bellavistaphilly #italianmarketphilly #italianmarket

Happy National Non-Profit Day! BVNA is an all-volunteer, nonprofit, registered community organization (RCO). Our goal is to improve Bella Vista's quality of life and strengthen community bonds. BVNA regularly heard from residents that litter is their primary quality of life concern. In response, BVNA has partnered with @acam.management — a woman-owned, minority-owned business whose mission is to provide employment opportunities to returning citizens to sweep our streets once a month. This program is entirely supported by donations from neighbors and local businesses. We need your support now more than ever as costs are increasing and trash continues to pile up. Please consider donating today - the smallest donation helps! Let’s keep BV litter free!

Welcome to the neighborhood, @alice.philadelphia! We kicked off the meal with saltwater taffy oysters, followed by the salmon crudo and main lobster. This was followed by a goey dry-aged burger and crunch fried chicken with homemade hot sauce. Everything was fresh, seasonal, and delicious!! Did we mention the cocktails are to die for? Be sure to check out this new neighborhood gem! #BVNA #Bellavistaphilly #bellavista #bellavistaphl #queenvillagephl #southsilly #southphilly #italianmarketphilly #italianmarket #phillyfoodie
