Written/Compiled and Reported by Wei Ruyu

If you’re looking to throw a special birthday party abroad, go on a trip, and still keep your budget in check, Hong Kong might just be the perfect choice to make it happen

The “Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.” located at Hong Kong’s Peak Tower offers a two-hour birthday party service for customers. In addition to helping with venue decoration, the restaurant provides a complimentary birthday cake as well as round-trip tickets on the Peak Tram. The minimum party size is 15 adults, with each person priced at HKD 298.

The restaurant will serve classic Southern American fare inspired by the Bubba Gump style, including Cajun butter shrimp, crispy onion rings, and Caesar salad. Guests can choose their main dish from options such as pasta with grilled chicken breast and lemon garlic butter sauce, American-style baby back ribs with fries, Chinese-style stir-fried shrimp balls with vegetables served with rice, and crispy fried shrimp. Additionally, the restaurant team will sing the restaurant’s unique birthday song for the guest of honor while presenting the cake.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. currently has over 30 branches worldwide, including Hong Kong’s Peak Tower, Universal CityWalk in Hollywood, California, Santa Monica Pier in California, Times Square in New York City, Navy Pier in Chicago, the French Quarter in New Orleans, and Pier 39 in San Francisco. It is also a movie-themed restaurant where you can find memorabilia from the film “Forrest Gump,” including movie stills, script replicas, production storyboards, and costumes. The popular Bubba bus bench outside the restaurant is also a favorite photo spot for visitors, and there are also branded souvenirs for sale, such as “Run Forrest Run” T-shirts and hats.
