LWIN LEE | BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP CO. @ CITTA MALL, ARA DAMANSARA
“Ahoy! Here we are, at
none other than my spectacular bivouac!”
Well, this might be the
possible territorial exclamation by our amiable and distinguished Captain Gump (✿◠‿◠)
Yeah, as hinted, this round of
gastronomical radar had led us to Bubba
Gump Shrimp Co., that secured a spacious lot at Citta Mall, a friendly
neighbourhood of Ara Damansara. It’s a family-friendly
seafood chain that features sumptuous oceanic banquet at its best, as well as
American cuisine that whet your palate gratifyingly within the cozy environment
that embarks on a fishing-boat-themed setting.
There is even a colorful children
playground set adjacently to keep the kids occupied and safe so the parents
could enjoy the food worry-free.
Pretty interesting concept
here- flip the signage on the board STOP FORREST STOP, when you want to place
your order or whenever you need assistance from the staff, and RUN FORREST RUN,
should you prefer some privacy.
Various rustic curios and memorabilia
from the movie Forrest Gump was seen adorning the restaurant interior. It
brings back the vintage of the American good old days with the motley of nostalgic
bric-a-brac of any US army camper.
The menu is extensive,
showcasing wide selection of great options including fresh fish, salads, ribs, seafood
and much more! We were very much anticipating the seafood especially shrimp feast
and so, we kicked off the session by relishing in the appetizers like……….
PEAR AND BERRY SALAD (MYR 30.90)
Fresh greens with
charbroiled chicken, strawberries, pears and glazed pecans, all tossed together
with raspberry vinaigrette and topped it with feta cheese.
It’s so fruity and fresh!
That’s the immediate response I uttered upon savouring it.
Being not quite a salad
person I am usually, this awe was actually kinda unexpected as the salubrious plate
really came up well with the berries and fruity dressing. I love the sweetness
from the fruit, especially the crisp pear, nutty bites as well as the delighting
raspberry vinaigrette. Couldn’t help and I nearly going to ask for a second
helping, haha. Delish!
For the conscientious,
bask in this perfectly done ‘berry-licious’ salad- definitely my kind of thing,
slurps!
SHRIMPER’S NET CATCH (MYR 32.90- 300G / MYR 63.90- 600G)
Touted as their best Peel ‘n’
Eat shrimp, juicy prawns are served on a fictional printed newspaper, resembling
the era of the Cold War, faithful to the movie. Guest can choose from Bubba
garlic spice or secret recipe Cajun spice, and diners are bound to hook on for
more.
……………… and
BUBBA’S FAR OUT DIP & SHRIMP MAYAN SALSA (MYR 38.90)
Chilled shrimp, cilantro,
tomatoes, avocadoes, onions an chillies, all ‘shook’ up in a cocktail mixer and
served with lots of tortilla chips and bubba’s far out dip for appetizing
dipping.
I’ve never really enjoy
cold shrimp, but Bubba Gump has convinced me since then! Good job ranger! =)

| Each shrimp is thoroughly mixed with the salsa gusto in the cocktail shaker, oh yes, they use cocktail shaker! ^_^ |
Now we come to the Bubba’s
Shrimp Special!
SHRIMPER’S HEAVEN (MYR 49.90)
Love shrimp? Then this one
is perfectly created for you!
Hand breaded coconut
shrimp, garlic shrimp, fried shrimp, tempura shrimp with fries and of course,
great dipppin’ sauces with tangy Asian, Cajun marmalade and zesty cocktail!
The coconut batter is quite special as it adds some sweetness to the shrimp, just that it could be tad oily to my liking withal it's uber crispy! Apart from that, the garlic shrimp tastes stellar, and hence, my fav pick :)

And what’s up for Forest’s
Favourite then?
Let’s wait not more and
sink your teeth into the tender-licious ribs!
BBQ BEEF BACK RIBS (MYR 46.90- REGULAR / MYR 66.90- LARGE)
Slow roasted baby beef
ribs, served with fries and coleslaw. The meat is very juicy and succulently
done till you could easily fork it off from the bones, it’s already good by
itself even though we skipped the sauce, hmmmm……… simply luscious!
Certainly poised as a
tight rival to other ribs-centric restaurants, if not better, slurps!
BOURBON STREET CATCH OF THE DAY (MYR 38.90)
Charbroiled Cajun spiced
catch of the day with bourbon street sauce and shrimp, served over mashed
potatoes. The fish was really fresh and nicely herbed, and goes well with the
tad creamy gravy. Not forgetting the fantastically grilled prawns that are
simply addictive! Love the slight smokiness and spice, thumbs up!
Perfect interlude- Let’s welcome
the Bubba Gump Cheer!
New hand shaken cocktails
to spice up your seafood indulgence accompanied by the energetic performance by
the lively FORREST runners!
WATERMELON MARGARITA (MYR 23.50)
Jose cuervo tequila,
orange liquer, cranberry juice, watermelon and sweet N sour.
Love the salted rim, nyummmm......
ORANGE MARGARITA (MYR 23.50)
Sauza tequila, red orange
liquer, cranberry juice and sweet N sour. Love this concoction more than the
former, personal preference by the way.
Isn’t that one of its
kind? Indeed living up to the sheer spirit of the well-known vigorous Bubba
Gump! Also, for an extra charge, diners could take this shaker glass home to
share with your like-minded compatriot too (=
And last but not least,
end the fete on a high note with this vibrant fluorescent glass, wow!
MANGO SPARKLER (MYR 13.90)
Mango, lemonade, orange
juice and lemon-lime
SPECKLED LEMONADE (MYR 13.90)
With Strawberries or
Blueberries as your choice
And foodies, mustn’t……
mustn’t leave without trying out their homemade desserts!
ALABAMA MUD PIE (MYR 24.90)
Perfect for sharing with cool
layers of chocolate and vanilla ice cream incorporate with chunks of snickers
that are separated by ribbon of caramel, topped with chocolate syrup, whipped
cream and crunchy peanuts.
Literally fell head over
heels for this enticing piece of jewel. So toothsome that I decided putting my
diet aside and savour it all by myself, hehe *evil grin*
Well, as expected, essentially
the mud cake was gone within few minutes, albeit we were all full to the brim
after the seafood fiesta earlier. Guess it’s true that everyone does have an
extra tummy for dessert, don’t you? ^_^
KEY LIME PIE (MYR 18.90)
Indeed Mama’s secret recipe-
the perfect finish for your meal. So authentically done with the quintessential
lime tart taste that never fails to amuse your taste bud piquantly. You could
actually mixed it with the whipped cream to mellow down the sourness, but I personally
don’t mind tickling my eyes intermittently, you know, when you sampled real
sourish grubs, haha.
Gosh, reliving the memories
in my blog now makes me drooling and started hankering for Bubba Gump’s tempting
and mouthwatering chuck again. It’s just the matter of time before seeing my
footprint again at Bubba Gump’s camp soon. So remember to try out the promising
Berry Salad and Beef Ribs amongst others besides the prawn-inundated recipes
that gonna spoil you for more choices.
