A sit-down Dai meal at Mandou Dai Garden Restaurant

Mandou, Jinghong

A garden restaurant on the main road into Jinghong's Mandou area, listed in Chinese guides for sit-down Dai meals rather than market snacks. Order pounded chicken feet, lemongrass-grilled fish and sticky rice with a spread of Dai dipping sauces.

What locals sayMost posts say Dai food is half the reason to come, and that the pounded salads are better at a restaurant than at a stall.
