The Food Fair is the most popular among all of Hong Kong's grand fairs. This year, the Hong Kong Vegetarian House used the slogans, 'Total vegetarian - the first step to compassion and giving alms', and 'Total vegetarian - the first step to saving Earth'. The name of 'Supreme Ching Hai' on the banners brightened the whole venue.
Fellow practitioners especially chose Master's talk in the United States called, 'Appreciating Life Begins from Enlightenment' to be distributed together with the sample booklets to those people with affinities with Master. Although there was a typhoon during the fair, the crowd was still very large. Fellow practitioners had to continuously transport additional sample booklets to the venue so as to have enough to distribute to the tens of thousands of people striving to get one.
The exquisitely printed leaflets gave a concise introduction of the Quan Yin Method, initiation, the Convenient Method and information about the Hong Kong Center. In the section about vegetarianism, it also introduced the Vegetarian House and the free vegetarian cooking classes. After the fair, many people interested in the various activities called the Center to obtain further information.
The event was held close to the Mid-Autumn Festival. The vegetarian egg yolk moon cake promoted by the Vegetarian House was supplied for the occasion. It was widely welcomed at the venue and was sold out very quickly. Various kinds of healthy vegetarian food and new style vegetarian dishes like vegetarian lobster, vegetarian egg yolk and so on, were displayed by a company of fellow practitioner's. The food received a variety of good reviews. 'Hong Kong Today', the popular Hong Kong TV news program came especially to cover the event. The program introduced the benefits of being vegetarian and the method of making vegetarian moon cakes.
