🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Ulaanbaatar, the 'Lunch Set' is a popular concept. Most restaurants offer a fixed-price meal between 12:00 and 14:00 that includes a soup, a main dish, and often a drink (tea or juice). For herders, lunch is often 'Suutei tsai' (milk tea) with 'Boortsog' (fried dough) and leftover meat from the previous night, or a fresh pot of 'Guriltai shul' (noodle soup). Punctuality for lunch is respected. If a meeting is scheduled near noon, it is expected that it will either end by 13:00 or continue over a meal. The 'Үдийн хоол' (Noon Food) program provides free meals to primary school students across the country, a major government initiative.
