Run Forrest Run! @ Bubba Gump

So it's a Saturday evening and we're really hungry. We could go get sushi. We could get any variation of rice or noodles, but no. Not today. Today we're going to go out for something different.

We decided to try Bubba Gump Restaurant at Sunway Pyramid. Bubba Gump is an American franchise with:

22 in the USA

2 in Mexico

1 in Hong Kong

1 in the Philippines

1 in Bali

2 in Japan

2 in Malaysia

When we went in, I was starving. I had been saving my appetite for this all day. But it was worth it.

We started off with a Tropical Breeze and a Blueberry Smoothie. Both were very good, I preferred the smoothie although the Tropical Breeze looks way better in the photos.

Appetizer: Onion Rings

Salad: Organic Pear and Berry Salad

Soup: Old Fashioned New England Clam Chowder

Entrés: "...Of Course We Have Scampi!"

Rib Eye Steak (M. Rare) with Mashed Potatoes & Veggies

Dessert: Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae

The total bill came to RM 208.50, which is quite an expensive meal but we ate way more than we needed to and everything was very delicious. For my Canadian readers: That is $68.54.

The service was excellent as well. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly, asking how we were enjoying the food several times and overall I was very pleased with the food. They also explained the unique system they have for flagging them down. All you need to do is flip the Stop Forrest Stop sign overtop the Run Forrest Run sign and they will come to your table. It literally never took more than 20 seconds for someone to come serve us, which is good because the restaurant was pretty busy.

Bubba Gump Restaurants also have the movie Forrest Gump playing with the subtitles so you can follow along if you'd like. I thought that was pretty cool. The decorations were interesting but somewhat scary at times *thinks of the scary clown picture that I didn't take a picture of*. I wished the Ice Cream sign was real... Only 15 cents for a triple scoop cone :(

We might be going again for lunch next weekend. We really enjoyed it and I'd recommend anyone here in KL to check it out.
