Now is the time for reflection, a time to remember those who went before us. Parents, grandparents, ancestors. If it wasn’t for their nurturing care, who would we be today?

This is the season of Vu Lan, the second biggest festival in the calendar after Tết Lunar New Year. It is considered the time those who passed, reveal themselves, a time for us to be thankful for their sacrifices and efforts that made us what we are.

It is also the right time to cherish what we have today, in the living world. And what better way to do so, than at Quán Ăn Ngon Chain.

Ngon Garden, Món Ngon Sài Thành and Quán Ăn Ngon restaurants remind you to remember and spend time for your family and loved ones.

The Embracing the Vegan Season in the Street Garden collection offers new and plentiful macrobiotic vegetarian dishes, available throughout the Vu Lan season from the seventh month to Mid-Autumn Festival in the eighth lunar month of this year.
