نداء الى بنات تورونتو و مسيساجا حول مطعم المندرين

Alsalamu Alaikum,

As Eid is around the corner, scores of Muslim families enjoy themselves with a visit to Mandarin. However, many of us have been unaware of the fact that most of their food is cooked with wine. I have received the message below from a friend who asked Mandarin directly about the quantity of alcohol in their food. Below is the message quoted directly from the Mandarin representative.
As an alternative, Muslims can check out other halal restaurant or buffet options, or scrap the buffet plan altogether. The fact that you have paid for an 'all-you-can- eat' encourages you to stuff yourself silly, and forget about your health .

Currently, Mandarin uses Chinese cooking wine in many of our hot stir fried dishes to add flavour. We apologize for any disappointment that this may cause you.
We would like to let you know that Mandarin has an a-la-carte menu available for our dine-in customers as an alternative to our all-you-can- eat buffet. Please ask your server about this option on your next visit. If you order from our a-la-carte menu, our chefs may be able to prepare your dish without cooking wine or other ingredients.

Please note that due to the high volume of business we receive during special days and holidays, our a-la-carte menu may not be available during these times. We suggest that you call ahead of your visit to confirm that our a-la-carte menu will be available.
Thank you for your e-mail. We look forward to serving you at Mandarin in the future.
Sincerely,
Leslie
Marketing Assistant
Mandarin Restaurant Franchise Corporation
