This restaurant was inspired by the Hollywood movie "Forrest Gump", which won the 67th Academy Award for Best Picture in 1994. In the movie, comrade Bubba suggested that Forrest Gump open a restaurant with shrimp as the main ingredient. Later, after Bubba died in the Vietnam War, Forrest Gump realized his dream.
When you walk into the restaurant, you can see the classic elements in the movie. Outside the door, there is a bench where Forrest Gump sat while waiting for the bus in the movie and a plaster model of Forrest Gump's running shoes. There is a drink brand of table tennis board on the table, and ketchup, chili oil and kitchen paper towels are placed in the shrimp iron bucket. There are also blue and red flip cards on the table. The blue sign says "Run Forrest Run Forrest Run", which means "I don't need service", and the red sign says "Stop Forrest Stop Forrest Stop", which means "I need service".
The most famous thing about it is shrimp. We ordered Forrest Gump shrimp, fried shrimp platter and seafood platter. The shrimps are fresh and tender, and each shrimp is very tasty. With the addition of pepper and salt, the effect is even better. In one word: delicious! Since the first restaurant opened in 1996, Forrest Gump Shrimp Restaurant has been as successful as the protagonist Forrest Gump and the movie "Forrest Gump". Now there are more than 40 branches around the world.
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what the next piece will taste like. However, I also hope that you and I can have a successful life like Forrest Gump to face this impermanent world.
