Phuket Vegetarian Festival

2008.09.30
WARNING: This post will make you HUNGRY. :))

On my last day here in Phuket, I decided to stay in Phuket town--a change from the sleazy Patong Beach where money is the name of the game.

And just outside the hostel where I am staying, is the Phuket Vegetarian Festival. Hundred of stall are just out there waiting for your taste buds to have them.

I tasted some but I still looked for meat at the end of the day. It seems like despite of a lot of veggies I ate, I was not full. :))

Enjoy these delectable vegetarian dishes!

Pssttt... wash your fingers first. ;)

The festival always falls on the first days of the ninth Chinese lunar month, and for nine days participants observe the following commitments:

Cleanliness of the body during the festival

Clean kitchen utensils not to be used by others who do not participate in the festival

Wear white during the festival

Behave physically and mentally

Avoid eating meat

Avoid sex

Avoid alcohol

People in mourning should not participate

Pregnant women and menstruating women should not attend ceremonies

puppydog This is the festival where devotees pierce their bodies with skewers too, right?

PAWEL - #12 is a kind of custard or jelly flavoured with pandanus leaf which gives it that colour and distinctive taste
