Vegetarian buffet programs for Vu Lan Festival
Update: Aug 17, 2015
Some hotels of Saigontourist have introduced their vegetarian buffets for Vu Lan Festival, a special time for people to express their gratitude to their parents.

On August 14 vegetarian food is not necessarily for Buddhists only since people of different faiths can eat this healthy meat-free food. During the annual Full-Moon Festival on the seventh lunar month, more healthy and delicious vegetarian dishes are offered to diners.

The Hotel Majestic Saigon with the colonial French architecture in the city downtown, which is adjacent to the Sai Gon River, is known for its diversified Asian and Western cuisines and particularly specialties of Viet Nam.

The hotel has prepared a vegetarian menu featuring both traditional and strange-flavor dishes prepared by the hotel’s veteran culinary team to serve guests during this year’s Vu Lan Festival.

Guests to the hotel’s Cyclo restaurant on the ground floor will enjoy food and listen to folk music from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. from on August 14 until September 13  (or the first of the seventh lunar month to the first of the eighth lunar month),

Kim Do Hotel in HCMC’s District 1 has a “Vegetarian Buffet on Vu Lan Festival” consisting of 40 Asian and Western cuisines from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on August 4, 27, 28 and September 12 (or the first, fourteenth, fifteenth and thirtieth of the seventh lunar month) in a cozy ambience. Tickets are priced at VND139,000 per child (under 1.4m tall) and VND239,000 per adult. Especially, those who book ten tickets two days in advance will receive one ticket free.

On this occasion, Arc-en-ciel Hotel, or Thien Hong Hotel, introduces a big vegetarian buffet program featuring 40 dishes apart from vegetarian dim sum dishes. It is available from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. from August 27 to 29, and from September 12 to 13.
