Run Bubba Run!!..All The Way To Sunway Pyramid

What does Tom Hanks and Ancient Egypt have in common? Nothing, except both have been mildly (or in the case of the latter, blatantly) exploited for commercial gains. In the heart of the bristling, modern town of Sunway is a mall that is built in the shapes and style of an ancient pyramid, guarded by a lion sphinx...And in this pyramids, instead of catacombs and tombs of pharaohs, one will find all sort of retail shops and eateries, including one that is called Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
Yes, anyone who have seen the Tom Hanks-Goes-Retarded Flick will be amused to know that the whole restaurant spot the theme of Forrest Gump. Although what mental handicap has to do with delicious foods is anybody's guess.

My food-enthusiast-slash-colleague, Miss Veron, has the opportunity to give this restaurant a try recently. So, she did a 'Ran, Veron, Ran' to the restaurant with her boipren Kevin, as well as two of their close friends,  Sheeven and Cathy.



Happy couple # 1 Veron & Kevin - in matching outfits


Happy couple # 2 - Sheeven & Cathy - acting all lovey-dovey



The whole place has a very rustic, cowyboy town feel to it. It's like stepping into the Wild, Wild West..




Ooohh..they even have mock cowboy-indian stage play. How very interesting!




Choice phrases from the Forrest Gump movie adorned the walls..



Look! Old-fashioned cowboy washing basin, complete with el-cheapo toilet rolls..




Veron said they use signs such as these to catch the waitpersons' attention..Too bad they don't have more options like 'Skip, Forrest, Skip', or 'Somersault, Forrest, Somersault', or it would be REALLY fun!!



For quenching thirst, they ordered Bayou and Sunburst, which are fruity vodka beverages...




For filling growling tummies, they ordered these...



Cajun Shrimps

Veron: "Served with garlic bread, there were a lot of shell-less juicy shrimps in a splendidly spicy buttered sauce with loads of flavour. 
ABSOLUTELY YUMMY!! ;p"




Lt Dan Drunken Shrimp

"This was so so satisfying... We first tucked into the stick-thin fried potato strips...yummy! then we dived in for the chargrilled shrimps and spicy sausages. the sauce looked cheesy but was supposed to be non-alcoholic bourbon sauce, but it was tasty nonetheless. As for the mashed potatoes, it was divine. each spoonful of the smooth mash just melted in our mouth...."




Bubba's Baked Seafood Rice

"Looking at the richness of the melted cheese melted flooding the whole dish made us so full already ... HAHAHA! but of course we all took scoops of the cheesy rice served with a variety of seafood and spinach. SO FILLING la with the Parmesan and Cheedar Cheese."







Four Very Satisfied Customers..

"With all the good food and great company of friends, we had an awesome night full of laughter and contented stomachs. "


The place does look very cosy, and the foods, really yummy!..It seems like the perfect place to visit for that heart-stopping good meal.

Bubba-licious!!!
