Top 5 Vegetarian Restaurants to Try During Vesak Day

We will soon celebrate one of the most big days in the world, especially for all the Buddhists. It is the day where every Buddhist in the world commemorates the life of Gautama Buddha. The day where we commemorate his birth, enlightenment, and death is known as “Vesak Day”.

People commemorate this big day in different ways. The Buddhists will go to the temple, pray, or do a charity event, etc. On the other side, the others will have a one-day holiday to spend. Since it is Vesak Day, most Buddhists may consider being a vegetarian on that day. In fact, everyone can try to be a vegetarian. Being a vegetarian will make you healthier and can save the world. So, why don’t you try to become a vegetarian, just one day. Doing it on Vesak Day should be the best choice.

Some people may think being a vegetarian is boring. There will not be many dishes options to choose from, and may end up eating bland dishes. Anyway, that’s all not true. Vegetarian dishes are now getting lots of improvement. Many chefs or people who succeeded to create vegetarian dishes are as delicious as non-vegetarian dishes. They make it from soy, flour and seasoning. Thus, let’s try to be a vegetarian! Here are some vegetarian restaurants that you can look up on Vesak Day:
