Steve Weber travels the world impersonating Forrest Gump. He picks spots for your Forrest fix.
1. Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant (Level 3, The Peak Tower, The Peak, 2849-2867) “Shameless plug, but I’m the restaurant’s ambassador and can’t go anywhere else and enjoy a meal dressed like this.”
2. Outback Steak House (8-12 Fenwick St., Wan Chai, 3101-0418) “After walking around the wet markets for hours, I needed a bit of familiarity and stumbled into Outback. I love the big booths and the surf and turf.”
3. Blue Bar at Four Seasons Hotel (8 Finance St., Central, 3196-8888) “I love the happy hour buffet. I hover around the chocolate section for hours.”
4. Tien Ye (Level 2, The Peak Tower, The Peak, 2907-3888) “They serve all sorts of shrimp dim sum, shrimp dumplings, stir fried shrimp, and great barbecue-pork buns.”
5. Tea House at Parkview (88 Tai Tam Reservoir Rd., 2812-3804) “No shrimp here, but they do a great breakfast. A good meal at the beginning of the day is needed to start it right.”
