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.

Atlanta Bar-B-Q Festival | Atlanta, Georgia USA

View on the hill

 

Ribs, Guns, Fox Brothers BBQ

 

Fox Bros is synonymous with equality.

 

St.Louis Style Ribs

 

DBA Tent

 

Fried Corn on the Cob and Smoked Chicken Wings

 

Rightfully counting cash, because their pops are money.

 

Creamy Avocado Popsicle

 

Cooking thumbs up

 

Funnel Cake

 

There were many BBQ vendors at the festival but shown here is what I deemed as the best eats. The ribs, funnel cake, and avocado pop was my favorite. Try the Avocado pop, I know it sounds strange but its like ice cream on a stick. It’s phenomenal!

Hoong tau sah.(Red Bean Soup)

 

After some lunch, my cousin took me to go get some sweets inside the mall. They had Hoon Tau Sah!! My favorite!! A slightly sweet red bean soup that just hits the spot.  Not as good as the hawker stands in Kampar, but I still welcome multiple bowls of the stuff. 🙂
