Bubba Gump Shrimp Co, Mutiara Damansara

Bollywood Queen was not happy.

She wanted to buy Uncle Zach dinner at Bubba Gump's but the wait was one hour.

So we met this morning, and while swimming a couple of laps (to loose some flabs), Bollywood Queen announced that lunch is at Bubba Gump's (non negotiable on my end). So much for losing weight..hahaha

So we reached and it was not crowded, but we got a confused waiter who brought us all around the restaurant and finally decided that we should sit outside the restaurant, at the entrance. We obviously made some noise as it was still rather empty inside.

We were finally seated, and were given some brief introductions on how to use the signs on our table.

If you want the waiter to come to your table, choose this..

Else, a Do Not Disturb by choosing this....

After checking out the menu, BQ decided to have Run Forrest Run...

Which we had to work for to get our drinks. The waiter insisted we should answer some questions on Forrest Gump before we could have our drinks. The dude obviously didnt know that 2 thirsty women can be very angry women..sigh..

This is a smoothie of oranges, strawberries, bananas and raspberry non-fat yogurt. Banana lovers would like this as the banana flavour was very intense.

To complement Forrest, I had Jenny's Favourite..

A smoothie of strawberries, cranberry juice, and raspberry non-fat yogurt. It think it's my fave too, as it's very yummy.

We decided to have Shrimper's Heaven (RM44.90)..

4 flavours of shrimps here...The coconut shrimp were quite plump and large, deep fried with dessicated coconut. The batter was too sweet for my liking though. The chilled prawns were, erm, chilled. Dipped in the savory sauce, it was ok, though not as fresh as I would like it. I've forgotten the name of this flavour (right side of the picture) which was, in my opinion, the nicest in this group. Crunchy batter, juicy, springy shrimps.The tempura prawns were mediocre as I find the flour rather thick.

We decided to share a Shrimp Po' Boy sandwich (RM24.90)..Somehow, I've conjured up in my head a sandwich with a big prawn patty..

But, we got this..BQ prefer the shrimps served with this sandwich, she finds it better tasting than the 4 flavours in Shrimper's Heaven.. I kinda agree too as the batter for this shrimps were very flavourful. Yummy stuff. The bread was very hard though. As I'm a potato crazed woman, I was thrilled that there's chips served with both our mains..

Alas, my excitement was shortlived as the chips were Way too salty..so sad. I could have finished all those chips!!

As the portions were large, our tummies did not have any space for desserts...

Just too much shrimps for a meal I guess..

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co is located at Lot 145, 1st Floor, Jalan PJU 7/3, The Curve, Mutiara Damansara, PJ, Selangor.

Pan Heong Restoran, Batu Caves

Think I should take a break from Penang before my KL readers gets all pissy with me..

Ok, maybe I'm just exaggerating, but I'd love to post about this earlier, hence...kakaka

Gary and Candy needed to be over at Batu Caves last saturday and they asked if I'll like to have the famous Sang Har Meen at Batu Caves. I recalled reading Precious Pea and Boolicious blogging about some famous fresh prawns noodles in Batu Caves, bet this is the one ;)

The 4 of us were there at 12 noon, Pan Heong was already pack with customers..

Luckily there's one vacant table :)

After a rather long wait, we were presented with this..

The Sang Har Meen (RM35)..

The aroma of the noodles were intoxicating but nothing beats a mouthful of it..

The gravy was extremely flavourful; the egg sauce cooked with wine and prawn roe was so sinful, yet we slurped up every drop of it. And the prawns were so fresh and sweet; the flesh were very springy, I enjoyed sinking my teeth into it.hehe. Was glad that the Sang Har Meen in Pan Heong is served with flat noodles (hor fun) as it complemented the sauce and prawns very well. This is top notch, the best I've tried so far; a must order. Ahhh, am still craving for it now even as I'm writing this...

Next was the steamed fish (RM19)..The fresh water fish was no doubt fresh, but was a tad strong on the 'mud' taste. The sauce was rather diluted too, it was cooked ala teow cheow with herbal style.. Didn't really enhanced the flavours of the fish though..

The kao yuk bee hoon(RM14.50).. I am a fan of kao yuk cooked in such method..braised until it's soft and melts in the mouth. The meat was wonderfully marinated and though the bee hoon was a tad dry, I still enjoyed this dish tremendously.

The herbal chicken(RM16)..

From afar, I thought we were served with roasted chicken. Once it was placed on our table, it's more like roasted chicken in soup. Nonetheless, all of us took a sip of the soup and it was rather rich and herbally. Rather different from the usual herbal chicken as the soup was not thickened with starch, hence we were able to just drink the soup. I thought it was pretty good; but Daniel really liked this dish.

Total bill was RM97.80. Very reasonable; I'll definitely be back for more of those slurpilicious Sang Har Meen!
