First Time in Bubba Gump

1/31/2011

It’s almost February! I can’t wait for tomorrow. It’s actually bittersweet. As ShopSui’s last day in Glorietta is today (ShopSui Tiendesitas is still open.) Nevertheless, there’s also a new project close to my heart that I’m excited about. So February is starting with some noise!

Well, I will cap off my January with another food post. 🙂 This was actually from my Christmas get together with some friends last year and just didn’t have the time to post it and as I was going through my albums, i saw it and decided it’s worth an entry in my blog for I loved the food!

So last month, my friends and I dined at Bubba Gump in Greenbelt 3 and it was actually my first time to eat there. I am allergic to shrimps and crabs and I just thought that I wouldn’t enjoy eating there because there’s not much options for me. But I was proven wrong!

Here’s me with my friends:

Here are our orders:

Bourbon Street Mahi Mahi

This is really delicious! I liked that they put potato strings too because it gives the dish more texture. The fish was very tender. And the sauce was a good compliment to the fish. Must order! This would have to be my favorite.

Mama’s Southern Fried Chicken

Talk about big chicken! This fried chicken was gigantic! Haha! I specifically order for chicken because I didn’t want to it too much seafood and chicken is the safest way to go. This dish kind of reminds me of Chef de Angelos chicken. However, I like Bubba Gump’s better. I liked the taste an d the gravy paired with it. I admit I couldn’t eat a lot because of the breading. It’s quite nakaka-umay, so it’s best to share.

Bubba’s Baked Seafood and Rice

Another favorite! I swear I loved the food at Bubba Gump! Haha! The baked seafood and rice is like Jambalaya and Risotto. I loooovvveee! The creaminess, the cheese, and it’s loaded with meat (of course I was only able to eat the fish and calamari). This is really a good dish. It’s very filling because it’s really very rich. There was five of us and we were all able to eat this dish and I would say all of us loved it!

Frozen Lemon Ups

This drink is actually my husband’s. Haha! It tasted normal, chilled and frozen lemonade. Nothing special about it. I would suggest to order the usual lemonade instead.

Overall, Bubba Gump proved that they’re more than shrimps! Their food is spectacular! I would definitely go back again. Luckily, my friends knew exactly what to order for my first time in Bubba Gump. So my first time experience is phenomenal! 🙂
