Review on Mae Ping

Mae Ping in Beckenham, named after the river which runs through Chiang Mai, is a well respected neighbourhood Thai restaurant liked for its friendly atmosphere, engaging hospitality and sumptuous décor.

Visitors also heap praise on the food, which has a genuinely authentic ring to it. Among the starters look for kung takrai (deep-fried minced prawns impaled on a stick of lemongrass with sweet chilli sauce) and kratong tong (batter cups filled with minced chicken, sweetcorn and vegetables. Elsewhere there are classic curries and stir-fries plus intriguing specialities such as steamed king prawns with tamarind sauce and sweet basil leaves on a bed of seaweed and grilled five-spice duck breast with Thai-style mango salsa. There's also an excellent selection of dishes for vegetarians.
