4th Annual Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival
The weather was just horrible-thunderstorm and rain in the afternoon. But we decided to go ahead and try our luck, if the rain do continue, we will go to the outlet mall at Foley (more shopping!)
Nobody goes to Foley (and I meant nobody!) without going for a meal at Lambert' s Cafe- The Only Home of Throwed Rolls.
The breadboy walks around, pushing his cart of hot steaming buns and throw it to anyone who raise their hand and you have to catch it!
Followed by the applebutter boy who will give you a scoop of the thick, sweet and fragant apple butter to go with your bread! See how Alvin is grining with apple butter on his roll.
Lambert's Cafe serves "pass-around" which are small hot dishes to go with your main course. We had fried okra (which is ladies fingers), tomatoes and maraconi, fried onion and potatoes. We were so full with the buns and side dishes, we left our main course untouched. I have yet to see anyone leave Lambert without a take-away box, now I understand why.
Anyhow our pork chop was very juicy and tender even after 6 hours. Yes I am eating alot more pork since I came to America than compared to Singapore where the only pork I would eat is in ba-chor mee.
And the cafe is full of tricks! The servers will walk around with a rodent in the pan and pretend to ask you whether you want some more pass around and throw a fake furry rodent in your face! I also got the "almost fell down waitress with a plate of full of food, I think the food is stick onto the plate hehe) and the tomato sauce bottle which squirt out a red string etc...there are many tricks going-on...all good fun!
By the time we finished lunch, the skies is clearing and we went back for hot air ballooning! We managed to get a free tether ride! Although a mere few minutes, it was awesome! I have to persuade Kenny to bring me for a proper hot air balloon ride soon...
