Dinner at Bubba Gump

Saturday, 23rd May 2009;
I was out with my girlfriends in Sunway Pyramid. Had a long day of spending time together, chit-chatting and shopping. Though I did not managed to buy anything (except for a leather shoe cleaner) but it was a great day spent with them.

Had McDonald’s for breakfast; Sushi Zanmai for lunch. I did not take any pictures of the lunch session because I find that my entries have been filled with sushi lately.

Anyway, I am here to blog about the dinner we had. My friends and I went to Bubba Gump for dinner. Yep we patronize the restaurant again, this time bringing a first timer friend there.

We had ourselves smoothies, the other friend wasn’t feeling too good so all she had was warm water.
Lotsa Lava and Alabama Sweet Smoothie.Lotsa Lava was creamish sourish and Alabama Sweet Smoothie was very peanutty sweet. I love the peanut butter taste in the smoothie but it was far too sweet for me.

Having cravings for their dip, I ordered their Bubba’s Far Out Dip.This time, eating just this was filling!

My friend ordered their Old Fashioned New England Clam Chowder.Thinking the cup might be too little for her, she ordered the bowl and she couldn’t finish it in the end. I did not try this as I was afraid I might be allergic to it. I don’t know what kind of clams they use, so I didn’t risk it.

Another friend ordered their Shrimper’s Heaven.It sure is heaven; for a shrimp eater. Shrimps cooked in four different styles. I enjoyed their Chilly Shrimp with their mango lime dip (I think that is what the dip is called lol. That was how it tasted anyway). Their Coconut Shrimp at first bite was yummy, but chewing along it was bland in my opinion. Fried Shrimp tasted like fried chicken but just with shrimp. I didn’t take the Tempura Shrimp, I was too full.

Second visit to Bubba Gump and still willing to go back again next time! When I do, I will make sure I order something else… Must resist from craving for their dip.

Sorry about the lousy picture taking this time round. I was too tired after the whole day of walking around Sunway Pyramid and kinda lost the mood in snapping pictures. I didn't want to take them pictures at first even lol. But yet had this side saying I should. So since one side said "I am tired no..." the other side said "Go ahead you know you want to" so I ended up taking lousy pictures. My Apologies that the food don't look so appetizing.

Bubba Gump Outing

Went to Sunway Pyramid today with my friends and decided to have Bubba Gump instead of having sushi all the time. Sushi Zanmai in Sunway Pyramid have dropped in standards in my opinion.

Anyway, the place is really nice; ambience is like being in a seafood restaurant by the seashore. Of course that is my opinion. They have Forrest Gump movie playing on repeat. Got to love that movie, it is so warming yet funny and sweet.
The food there is delicious (other than it being a slight too salty) but the whole presentation of the food is nicely done. The servers are all very friendly too. They are very smiley and talkative. Our table’s server is Alda from Indonesia. Really cute girl and her smiles are very sweet. I should have taken a picture of her.

I had their “Salmon and Veggie Skillet” which was really an adventure for my taste buds. The taste of the meal is slightly sour and with that it doesn’t make the whole meal taste like you have had enough after a few bites.

My friend had the “Run Across America Sampler” appetizer. A whole bundle of shrimps cooked in different ways with nachos and dip. Oh the Dip for the nachos was yummy! I don’t know how to word it, but gosh it is like if that was my meal, I believe I can’t enough of that dip.

My other friend decided to have the “ “I’m Stuffed!” Shrimp” dish. At first when I heard the name and read the description, I though the shrimps would be all fat and stuffed up. When it came, it was all like a meatball wrapped in shrimp. But again this dish was something in my opinion. Cheesy taste was not all too overly cheesy; with the garlic butter it was yummy. Make sure to squeeze the lemon in too, makes the meal give you the cheesy, buttery, garlicky, lemony taste. There were a lot of shrimps! It was surrounded by probably about 8 shrimps.

For drinks; I had a “Run Forrest Run” smoothie. Very fruity refreshing yogurt drink (and no I am not saying it is refreshing because it is a hot day and I drank something cold lol). My friend had a “Blueberry Smoothie” which is another yogurt drink that consist of a vanilla yogurt in it and I believe I tasted vanilla more than the rest of the ingredients on this drink. “Frozen Blue Lemon-Ups” was a drink chosen by my other friend; lemony fizzy type of drink with lost of ice in it. The glass lights up too (if you like the glass you can pay an amount to bring it home. Kids would love it)! But on such a hot day we are having now, the lemon and fizzy mixture was absolutely refreshing! Glad I took a sip out of it.

If given a choice, I would go back there again to try out their other dish and this time I have to make sure I get a dessert too. Price for the food was costly in my opinion but that is from someone who is on always on a budget tight attitude lol. But for the portion it was given, I would say it was ok. Seafood is expensive, and they did give quite a big portion, the shrimps are not small by the way. I was filled up till 9pm just now, just eating my own dish and picking on my friends’. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends. Hey you get to watch Forrest Gump while you dine! Great movie! Not to be missed!
