Located in the Peak Tower’s “Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.”, the restaurant offers a two-hour birthday party service for customers. In addition to helping with venue decoration, the restaurant also provides a birthday cake and round-trip tickets on the Peak Tram. The minimum group size is 15 adults, with each person priced at HK$298.
The restaurant serves a classic Bubba Gump-style Southern American menu, including Cajun butter shrimp, crispy onion rings, and Caesar salad. Guests can choose their main course from options such as pasta with grilled chicken breast and lemon garlic butter sauce, American-style slow-roasted pork ribs with fries, Chinese-style stir-fried shrimp balls with vegetables and rice, and crispy fried shrimp. Additionally, the restaurant staff will gather around the cake to sing the restaurant’s unique birthday song for the guest of honor.
