Celebrate Thailand’s Vegetarian Festival with

Fresh & Flavourful Creations at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit

Orchid Café, Rossini’s and basil will present a series of vegan and vegetarian dishes from October 2-11, 2024

Bangkok, Thailand – Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok is inviting its cherished guests and local residents to savor the flavours of Thailand’s Vegetarian Festival! Running from October 2-11, 2024, this vibrant annual celebration originated as a Chinese Taoist ritual to help people cleanse their bodies by following a vegan diet. Over the years, it has evolved into a colorful and captivating occasion that sees devotees take part in dramatic rituals, creating a dazzling spectacle for visitors.

To mark this year’s Vegetarian Festival, the talented culinary team at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit has unveiled a series of experiences across three of its popular dining venues: Orchid Café, the elegant all-day destination overlooking Sukhumvit Road, Rossini’s, the Michelin-rated Italian ristorante, and basil, Bangkok’s most exciting Thai restaurant.

The highly-skilled chefs at Orchid Café will showcase a special Vegetarian Day selection as part of its popular International Lunch Buffets (Mon-Thu & Sat, 12:00-15:00 hrs.), International Dinner Buffets (Mon-Thu, 18:00-22:30 hrs.), and Grande Seafood Weekend Dinner Buffets (Fri-Sun, 18:00-22:30 hrs.). These vegan and vegetarian delights will cover every aspect of the culinary journey, with sublime soups like Choo Chee Tao Hu Oon (soft bean curd in thick red curry) and Pae Kuay Phad Pak Ruam (stir fried vegetables with ginkgo nut), and a choice of main course such as Tao Hu Nam Daeng Nor Mai Farang (braised tofu with asparagus). Two mouth-watering menus will be served on rotation throughout this 10-day festival.

At Rossini’s, Chef Giacomo Vinci has crafted eight exquisite vegetarian dishes, which will form part of the restaurant's regular à la carte menu for lunch (12:00-14:30 hrs.) and dinner (17:30-22:30 hrs.) from October 2-11. These fresh and flavourful creations include an appetizer of Cardoncelli Grigliati (grilled king oyster mushroom on grilled artichokes with mint-mustard sauce), a signature pasta dish of Cannelloni Di Zucca (butternut squash cannelloni with porcini mushrooms, hazelnuts & fresh rosemary), a main course of Variazione Di Carota (braised carrots on carrot juice reduction with Pommery mustard), and delectable desserts including Mela Candita (apple tarte tatin with Fuji apple cake & lemon sherbet).

Finally at basil, Chef Manachai and his team will present an extensive selection of à la carte Thai delights that are “Simply Aroi”! From appetizers and salads such as Yum Pollamai (spicy tropical fruit salad), soups and curries including Tom Yum Hed Bai Makham (spicy mushroom soup with tamarind leaves & Thai herbs) and Gaeng Kua Bai Chapoo Ped (red curry with mock duck & betel leaves), a series of wok-fried favorites such as Phad Priew Waan Tofu (stir-fried bean curd with sweet & sour sauce) and meatless Phad Kaprao (stir-fried vegan minced meat with holy basil & chili), and exotic desserts like Kanom Pra Pai (rice flour dumplings stuffed with Mung bean, glazed with coconut cream), every diner can savor authentic Thai vegetarian cuisine. These dishes will be available for lunch (12:00-14:30 hrs.) and dinner (17:30-22:30 hrs.) throughout the festival.

Also known as the Nine Emperor Gods Festival or Jay Festival, the Vegetarian Festival is celebrated all across South East Asia, starting on the eve of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. To be fully immersed in the spirit of this exotic occasion, guests can head to Yaowarat, Bangkok’s Chinatown, where the streets and temples envelop guests in an array of heady scents, sights and sounds.

These special Vegetarian Festival dishes will be available at Orchid Café, Rossini’s and basil from October 2-11, 2024. Prices vary by dish or dining occasion, and a discount is available for guests who book Orchid Café’s buffets via LINE Shop.
