Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

Its been quite awhile since my trip to KL by myself to meet my brothers. And a really great restaurant they brought me to was Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant. It's a restaurant made based on a movie called Forrest Gump. If you have not watched the movie, you seriously lived in a cave.
The place was located in The Street. Right outside The Curve, Damansara. They even have a little souvenir shop right beside the restaurant.And outside the restaurant there's a bench with a baggage, ragged shoes and a box of chocolate : the place where Forrest Gump was telling his tale, while waiting for the bus. They have a lot of classic decorations and quotes from the movie.Even my name's on the plate.Er... You're gonna get... chocolates? What else?And some of the quotes I'm just too stupid to understand.What special about the place was the small signboards that reads,Which the waiter wouldn't care about you even if you're frustrated why the waiter wouldn't take your order, or even if you're dying.Flip to this sign and the waiter would come to you like The Flash and ask you politely what you want. I'm not exaggerating, one of them would really come to you in Supersonic speed. Trust me, I've tried.
Our table were also nicely decorated with lots of things. They have some signature beverages and dishes printed on a ping pong bat as menu. And a bucket to put chili sauce, toilet paper (I don't know what for) and God knows what. I forgot to take pictures of the beverages as I was feeling ecstastic after drinking it.
This was my eldest brother's dish. Chicken Chop (I forgot the confusing names of all the dishes). If you're wondering, yes, its newspaper on the bottom as plate. On the newspaper were all the important events in the movie.
And no, the quality of the paper is not those usual newspaper quality. If its like that the chicken chop and fries would stain with black ink.
My brother's lady's dish was a massive Fish N' Chip with a giant dil.... I mean corn. My elder brother's one was Salmon with dunno what sauce and shrimps. It tasted really tender and delicate. Mine was Beef Steak. It was really filling. And of course, the restaurant's famous for its shrimps. So we ordered Shrimper's Heaven. You'll really feel like you're in heaven after eating it. There were 4 different flavours consist of coconut slices, raw, Tempura and butter. Unexpectedly, the raw ones taste really good with the sauces.Its hard not to resist "a happy face with stomach bloated with food" expression. You'll only get that in Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
