Bubba Gump Shrimp Company September 2019

Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, the iconic American themed restaurant named after Forrest Gump, the beloved character in the movie classic by the same name, is introducing a seasonal menu to celebrate summertime. For those new to Bubba Gump, a visit to Bubba Gump is a revelatory experience: the décor is all Gump, all the time; shrimp is prominently featured, and the view from the Peak overlooking the city and the harbour is spectacular. 

 

We sampled items offered in the seasonal menu, most of which are shrimp, of course. It’s safe to say Bubba Gump has perfected to an art form the many ways shrimp can be prepared. The Shrimper’s Net Catch in Beer($160), which comes in two versions: Garlic Spice or Secret Recipe Cajun Spice, is a case in point, so is CAJUN Shrimp. The Yin Yang Shrimp Salad ($155) with mango,an Asian-American fusion dish is light and fruity. For a change of palate, we tried Blood Orange Glazed Salmon($220) which is tender and tangy, with the filet grilled just right. And finally, Lt. Dan’s Surf and Turf($278), baby-backed ribs with grilled shrimp and fries, is also delicious and a classic favourite. The desserts included our yummy choice, Alabama Brownie ($82) -served with vanilla Ice Cream, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae ($82) -also served with vanilla ice cream and topped with chocolate and caramel sauce, peanuts and whipped cream.

 

Creative and refreshing cocktails and drinks have always been Bubba’s stock in trade. We tried Coronarita($150), a traditional margarita with a squeeze of lime juice topped with a Corona Extra beer, Strawberry Mango Chiller($85), Bubba’s Blue Hawaiian($99) and Delta Sunset($109). All are excellent. 

 

A visit to Bubba Gump guarantees a fun and heart meal, and don’t forget to take home souvenirs of various Forest Gump related paraphernalia.
