On mummy's day.
The interior of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. @ Sunway Pyramid
The ambience is messy but quaint. The music choice is great but is too loud while Forrest Gump plays on mute in the background. Very confusing leh.
There's lots of space in this outlet. I think they may have a private room for small parties too.

Cajun Shrimp
Lip smackingly delicious! The prawns were big and juicy. The bread is for soaking up the hot and spicy sauce at the bottom of the pan.
Main Dishes
Consists of Coconut Shrimp (coconut strands fried with the shrimp made it taste sweet and very strange), Chilly Shrimp (naked shrimps-very cold. and lifeless), Fried Shrimp (the only good one out of the four), Tempura Shrimp (not nice at all-very mushy).
The dipping sauces were sweet :S

Got fries too.
Fish and Chips
a tad tasteless. I mean, for the price we're paying for this, i expected something tastier! Dome makes better F&C, hands down
Dessert
That Chocolate Thing
Flourless, warm chocolate cake with ice cream and whipped cream and some raspberry sauce.
Yes, it tastes as funny a it sounds. Since it was flourless, the whole thing was mushy and floated around the jar like...something. It looked like warmed eggs, sugar and coco powder.
The taste, once you get over the appearance, is delicious and unique. Not very addictive though.
The service is efficient. The waiters and waitresses are chatty and friendly. So do poke fun at them xD just kidding.
I will only come back to try non seafood food. And for the price they're charging, they should make the air cond warmer. The shrimps were all cold shrimps by the time we were done!
In conclusion, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is only for Forrest Gump fans. And maybe for those who want to try it out lah.
With the amount of money spent that day, I could've eaten fresher seafood at Teluk Gong. And they would have had crabs and oh chien and bigger tiger prawns than shrimps.

How is Bubba Gump Shrimp related to Forrest Gump? Too bad I'm allergic to prawns :(
in the movie Forrest Gump, Forrest befriended an African American soldier called Bubba. During the Vietnam war (i think) they became close friends. When Bubba died, Forrest promised him that when the war ended, Forrest would catch shrimp. Cos Bubba comes from a family of shrimp catchers i think.
haha that was long. Wikipedia sure got entry on this la.
Awwh...allergic to prawns...:/
You should try the desserts then! Choc chip cookie the size of your palm. mmm. and they have steak burgers. and fish sandwhiches. :D
