Forrest Gump and Bubba Gump’s Excitin’ New Dishes
Oct 26th, 2008 | By Jeric Peña | Category: Events, Food, FunOne of my favorite restaurants is Bubba Gump, the restaurant inspired by the film Forrest Gump. I just love shrimp because they’re really good. Food is not the only thing to love about Bubba Gump but also their great interior design and display of different memorabilia from the movie.
My sister Dianne and I were able to meet Forrest Gump (portrayed by Steve Weber) during an event for bloggers at the TriNoma branch of Bubba Gump last October 21, 2008. Alongside with the meet and greet with Forrest Gump, Bubba Gump introduced their new and exciting dishes!
One of their new appetizers is the Dynamite Shrimp; an appetizer composed of shrimp poppers with a spicy Asian glaze. Dianne and I really enjoyed this appetizer. In fact, we could eat this one everyday!
Spicy Jambalaya Pasta is one of the great additions in Bubba Gump’s menu. A dish composed of shrimps and spicy Andouille Sausage over Linguini with Bourbon Street Tomato Sauce.
“That Chocalate Thing” is a special jar of warm flourless Chocalate cake, topped with Vanilla Ice Cream and Whipped Cream, and drizzled with Raspberry Sauce. This is a dessert that you could share with your friends or family.
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has branches in Trinoma (916-9314 or 916-9315) and Greenbelt 3 (757-5154 or 757-5104). You could also visit their website at http://www.bubbagump.com.ph/ for more information.

I love Bubba Gump! Favorite ko pa naman yung calamares appetizer (kahit shrimp resto). However, I didn’t like the popcorn shrimp before… popcorn was so bland. “That chocolate thing” looks criminal. I’ll ask my colleagues to go to Bubba Gump Trinoma for that.
Kewlness.
that’s my food… LEFTY here. ahahah
