Any time I’m in Ottawa, I have to make a stop to Brother Wu’s. Best categorized as Szechuan, Hunan and Mandarin style cooking, this place brings back so many fond memories from my childhood. One amazing thing to point out, despite how long this place has been opened they’ve always been consistent and delicious. Favorite has to be the Braised Pig Ears that have been marinated in a chili based sauce and served cold; also the green scallion pancakes is something special that I recommend you giving it a try.

Christmas Lights at Parliament Hill | Ottawa, Ontario Canada
The Eternal Flame at Parliament Hill Ottawa
Christmas Lights at Parliament Hill
BeaverTails!!!
Cinnamon and Sugar BeaverTails
As you may have read in my about me page, I am Canadian and Ottawa is where I was born. Was in town on assignment back in December and it was actually quite fun to walk around while the air surged with holiday season flare. As I turned the corner, I saw the Parliament adorned with the Christmas patterned camouflage. Loved it and decided to go check it out.
There was probably three main clusters of people. One set who was posing and taking pictures of the lights, one near the Eternal Flame (probably staying warm), and finally the third was lining up to order some BeaverTails; which is a hand-stretched pastry made of whole wheat, then fried and served piping hot with your choice of topping. When in Rome, right? Headed towards the line which, only took like 10 minutes or so to get to the front. Then, as I went to order and pay, to my surprise… it was free!! Whaaa?!
So awesome!
Got to enjoy a nice hot BeaverTail in front of the Eternal Flame, watching the patterns on the Parliament change. What a wonderful evening~ The event usually happens between December 6 to January 7, but there are a good bit of BeaverTail shops who serve their famous pastries year round, just not free.
