The other night we went to The Mansion House on Kennington Park Road for Thai food. I’m still thinking about the chilli basil minced beef with a fried egg. And then there was the panang curry. Between them, it was one of the best Thai meals I’ve ever had.
Two dishes I’d order again
Chilli, basil, beef and a fried egg sounds quite simple written down. On the plate the flavours were extraordinary. The panang curry more than held its own alongside it, which left me with the very pleasant problem of wanting another mouthful of both.
If you ask me what to order, those are the two dishes I can vouch for personally. I’d go back for that exact supper.
A Thai kitchen inside a Kennington pub
You’ll also find it listed as the Mansion Pub. It’s at 48 Kennington Park Road, close to Kennington station, with a bar and Thai restaurant under the same roof. When someone asks me where to eat after an evening viewing nearby, I now have a very specific answer.
