Mandalay

Mandalay is a relatively new concept for the North East, described as Pan Asian, Burmese and Chinese. The reality is in fact a blend of them all with an overlying theme of Feng Shui. In case we're getting into deep water here Feng Shui abhors the use of artificial additives and flavourings in the preparation of food, and so has a no added MSG policy.
