Sweet Home Alabama!

Our inaugural outing to the recently opened Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant at the Curve tonight... Shrimps, crawfishs, tasteful entrees, and deserts flavor our occasion to this new eatery. The place is a cosy one, housed on the top level of the Curve's row of cafes and diners, amongst them; Starbucks, Marche, Italianies, and TGIF. The theme: From Columbia's Forrest Gump movie, a so called extension of the movie itself, the restaurant evidently owned by Forrest (played by Tom Hanks) after scoring it big with fellow Vietnam veteran Private Benjamin Bufford 'Bubba' Blue as business partners.

The restaurant is opened by my good buddy as well, Rizal, who's clearly put in tons of effort opening it in such a short period of time after his stint in Long Beach, CA for about 2 months last year. An expert in the F&B industry with a wealth of networking leads got him to head the establishment after his departure from the TGIF chain which he's heralded for the last 12 years.

2 cents: Good atmosphere, home/country taste cooking (good control of sodium), fast service, friendly staffs, and extremely creative decoration all around. A highly recommended eatery if you like the homely and the 'forresty' ambience. Can't beat it for shrimps definitely... :-)
