MANFEILONG

Manfeilong roasted chicken is really cheap and big in quantity. If there are many people, ordering two or three is not enough. A large table of dishes, the final bill is only a few hundred, which is very affordable. After eating, you must go to the night market to walk around and digest the food.

This Manfeilong 3 Roast Chicken restaurant is located in Xishuangjing, Gaozhuang, Jiangbei District, Jinghong City, inside the Mekong River Starlight Night Market, behind the Shwedagon Pagoda. The roast chicken is authentic and tastes good. The dining environment is good and the location is easy to find.

Near Xingguang Night Market. The roast chicken and rice noodles are delicious.
