Caught some shrimps at Bubba Gump =D

Run Forrest Run!! We've heard about all this common quotes, if you have watched Forrest Gump in the first place.

Yesterday was a whole load of fun, me and my colleagues (maybe i should say, most of my EX-colleagues) had this gathering at Bubba Gump Shrimp & Co at The Curve...to have some fresh seafood catch!! A very unique concept was that, it adapted the ideas from this movie, Forrest Gump.


Forrest Gump (by Tom Hanks) heaps the Academy Awards in 1994 with 6 winnings, this would rather drive the motivation for us to watch this one , lolx!

Likewise, this resto adapted the theme of 'Forrest Gump' movie and gathered all the inspiration from the movie to create a setting that matches.
And this is where I find it quite rare and interesting at the same time about B.G! Perhaps this is why menus comes all pricey.... HAHA!

If anyone would like to know, B.G served mostly of shrimp dishes, and also other seafood, whether it is Cajun style, boiled, broiled, baked or deep-fried.


 

 
I like the concept of the resto, in fact if you'd to walk inside, you can assume that all the settings looked like mid 40's . Wait, are we in a dock? lolx! Coz it looks like one...!


This movie is all about running, if you have watched it....haha! We cant seem to leave out some of the favourite quotes. No wonder they put the signage on each of the table.

A bucket with a happy face =D


*******************

And for the main event!! We've got to do some reading on the menu! 
The menu was quite attracting for the love of anyone who reads hahaha! Weird names and creative definition for each of the dishes lolx!!

I cant possibly be snappin pics of all the pages in the menu, so this is where we will be looking at. If you wanna have cheaper selection, go for Captain's Fish n' Chips (RM25.90) =D 

Started off with our appetizer, none other than our old-time garlic bread! Perhaps the way I snapped it doesn't even look like one....it looked like shrimps instead xD 

Ahoy!  Here comes our Captain's Fish n' Chips, battered and deep-fried fish fillet serves with fries, salads and tartar sauce. All the presentation of food are served on top of a reading paper. lolx! At least after finish eating you can get to read. 


Here's our Sweet Home BBQ Burger, topped with sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese and crispy onion rings and fries.


I can't deny, this is the only photo that stands out hahaha! At least it was taken with a professional camera, and not my usual, cheap 2.0 megapixels camera phone lolx! 
Remember i said that they gave funny names for their menu? 
We named this Bubba's After the Storm.
Stated there:-
"Bucket of Boat Trash" Flash fried Shrimp, Fish with Cajun Spices, and steamed Canadian Lobster Claw. Served with Fries.


 No clear picture on our Dixie Style Baby-back ribs, sorry, lolx! But see how our friend was focusing on the food instead haha! 


And here's the big group who made too much noise on the table...! We had fun and shared lotza topics together. Hope to get together again soon =) 


Overall the food was not up to my expectation, it was just okayyyyy. It is not really worth the value of the food, that's for sure! The quality of food couldn't really defeat some of the independent western resto.
We are actually paying for the environment and ambience rather than the food. (I can't deny environment was  good enough).
But come and visit during the time when your wallet is somehow thick, hahaha!
