Mie Lueang is a popular vegetarian dish and often eaten during Talaat Noi. Talaat Noi is a Vegetarian Festival celebrated in Bankok's Chinatown in mid October each year.

Much of the festivities are centered around a Chinese temple called Saan Jao Jo Sue Kong where the meat-free frenzy food stalls are located. Here heaps of white-clad worshipers come to watch ngiw (a Chinese drama) and pray, burn incense and candles, and buy the paper lanterns that form a virtual roof over the temple.

Frying noodles during the annual vegetarian festival, Talaat Noi, in Bangkok is perhaps the most popular dish.
