I’m a KC food curmudgeon. I was thrilled to find this restaurant meal that’s ‘worth it’
The mango duck at Bamboo Penny’s, an upscale Thai restaurant in Leawood at 5720 W. 116th Place, is, for this hard to please patron, a new favorite: Duck, peeled from the bone and lightly fried, it is set on a bed of sauteed asparagus, carrots and chunks of fresh mangoes. Add the sauce — mixed warm from a wok, and composed of tamarind, chile paste, bell peppers, more mangoes, onions and, if you choose, garlic (which I don’t because I’m allergic to garlic and it will kill me) — and what has the potential to be an overly rich serving of fried fowl becomes a moist medley that’s savory, sweet and surprising. At $28 for a half portion, yes, it is expensive. But the volume is plenty for one person and, for my money, worth it as much as any other item on a menu created by owner and chef Wan Phen (pronounced “pen” as in Penny) Mufuka.
