zoo.com.sgWhen:
Every day from 9am to 10.30am.
The
Jungle Breakfast withWildlife
takes place at Singapore
Zoo’s
Ah Meng Restaurant
, a large alfresco timber lodge.
The buffet offers a selection of pastries, breads, cheeses and
yoghurts, cereal, fresh fruit and a range of hot food – both
Western and Asian – along with fruit juice, pre-brewed tea and
coffee; the roti prata and vegetable curry, the bee hoon and
the selection of dim sum were a firm favourite at our table.
There’s no kids’ menu, but the variety on offer should suit even
the fussiest child – plus, they offer child-friendly cutlery and
plates. The breakfast is $33 for adults and $23 for children
over six, and free for kids under six.
The two adult and three baby orangutans made their
appearance at 9.30am to have their breakfast (sugar cane
and sunflower seeds), with the baby orangutans entertaining
the children by dangling upside down and chasing each
other. The view from our table was amazing, as we were about
two metres away, while most tables had a decent view. The
orangutans had departed by 10am, giving us time to finish
our forgotten breakfast before heading out to visit the rest of
the zoo – a lovely start to the day!
Special features:
In addition to entertainment from
the orangutans, you have the chance to be photographed
standing right in front of the orangutans, either with your own
camera or the official zoo photographer’s.
Words to the wise:
Get there early – you’ll get the
best seats. Also, the restaurant is open-ended, so watch any
escapologist children!
