Shrimp Festival- P.F Changs at Al Corniche

  

We were invited by the PF Changs Marketing team to try out their New Promotion "Shrimp Festival ".

As usual we were the last to enter interrupting a table full of bloggers. 

We were greeted with warm big smiles and a few familiar faces.
Once settled we were briefed about the shrimp festival, with new mocktails, starters and appetizers the Shrimp festival was set to have a bang on start.


Shanghai Sunrise was served to F&B Boy ..which he thoroughly enjoyed!!

And I got the Pomegranate Cosmo, which was my favorite..

Appetizers:
Grilled Spicy Prawns "Perfectly grilled these prawns are guaranteed to delight your senses. Seasoned with house spices, black pepper and served on a bed of tangy cucumber and tomato salsa" KD 3.500 (as per the menu)

Shrimp Ceviche Crisps " A refreshing citrus-marinated shrimp dish with a medley of peppers, cilantro, tomato and cucumber on a wonton chip. Great for sharing and trying something new" KD 3.500 (as per the menu)

This was my favorite amongst the appetizers.. its light and refreshing!! different from the usual.

Spicy Crunchy Shrimp " three jumbo shrimps hand -rolled in a shredded spring roll wrapper, flash fried golden brown, served with spicy plum sauce and topped with Julienne scallions" KD 3.500 (as per the menu)

This was F&B Boy's  and my second Favorite for the evening!!

Main Course:
Lemongrass BBQ Shrimp "Tender shrimp marinated in lemongrass BBQ sauce laid on top of fresh vegetables cooked to perfection." KD 5.750 (as per the menu)

The blogger (who I believe was LWDLIK) sitting right across the table suggested the Lemongrass BBQ shrimp, which later that evening ended up being my favorite. This stood out from the rest of the main course.

As per their conversation, this is their best selling dish in their shrimp festival promotion.

Ma La Shrimp "We've combined three of our favorites to create this one of a kind, yet traditional dish. This trio of green beans, juicy shrimp and our Kung Pao sauce is sure to dazzle your senses! KD 5.750 (as per the menu)

The best part about this dish was the crunch of the beans.

Red Chili Buttery Shrimp" A tasty plate of shrimp and egg noodles, wok-seared and peppered with light chili flakes. Garnished with a hint of minced garlic and black beans then drenched in a savory chili paste, ready to present" KD 5.750 (as per the menu)
This was my second favorite for the evening, since it had two of my favorites to began with.

Macanese Garlic Shrimp " A sizzling mixture of shrimp, bay leaf,minced shallots and fine powdered garlic, all cooked in Macau chili and fish sauce, straight from our woks." KD 5.750 (as per the menu)

We were specifically warned about the heat of this dish since it was prepared in Macau Chili. Well, to be very honest it did not hit me but then again I eat spicy food for living.

Last but not the least my favorite dessert!! I sooo love it!!

The Banana Spring rolls served with vanilla ice cream, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries topped with caramel sauce.

Ended with Jasmin Green Tea.

(The star for the evening)

Had a lovely evening filled with laughter, delightful ambiance and my clumsiness (I thank my stars that the shrimps were not flying across the table) overall, we all stuffed ourselves with shrimps.. perfect for shrimp lovers.

If you love shrimps as much as I do then this is definitely not one to miss out on...

Promotion is till 18th Oct 2012.
