Bubba Gump @The Curve.

This Bubba Gump's @ The Curve birthday dinner celebration of my son, Mike was held a night before the Bersih 2.0 rally.

As it was a week day we did not bother to make any reservation.
We regretted as the place was packed with diners and the only table available was at the back of the restaurant.

The service was great and the atmosphere was warm.

Even though most of the dishes are shrimps (real fresh!) - southern American cuisine, seafood and poultry are on the menu, too.

Garden Salad-with assorted fresh vegetables, croutons and thinly diluted dressing-healthy options- Rm 8.90.

Clam Chowder with bits of chopped celery-thick, creamy with an intense flavor-Rm13.90.

BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP CO.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co is a chain of seafood restaurants inspired by the 1994 film, "Forrest Gump."
Recently, we had a double celebration dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co located in The Curve, Mutiara Damansara.
First it was my birthday and secondly it was my daughter Mindy's 2nd wedding anniversary.

When we arrived, the place was full but we managed to get a table near a quiet corridor with a good view and lovely music provided by a live band from the Hotel Royale Bintang next to it.
Their main dishes are mostly Shrimp done in quite a number of styles plus Salad, Chicken and Fish too.
I think i will abstain from eating shrimp for sometime as most of the dishes that we ordered were shrimps based.
I declined their offer of performing a Birthday song for me.
Instead, the quick and alert server presented me with a cup of smooth and sourish Yogurt ice cream to end my delicious dinner!
