20121204 Pandas in Singapore

K went to the zoo with po po, san yee yee and Janice.

Taking a picture with po po while waiting for san yee yee and Janice to turn up.  Doesn't she resemble po po slightly?

We went early but as san yee yee and Janice was not there yet, mommy bought the panda tickets for 11am.

K's zoo admission ticket.


Mommy rented a motor scooter for po po and K to ride on.  In the end, Janice was also fighting to ride it. :P

Outside the otter enclosure.  We stayed for the otter feeding session.  The panda enclosure is just next to it.

We are allowed to queue to go in about 10 minutes before 11am.  After we went in, there are some enclosure with no creatures inside before we reach the other checkpoint (have to check ticket again so don't lose it!) which we have to queue again.  They have a large TV for the visitors to pass their time while waiting.

The first panda.  Just lying there.

The enclosure is long rather than deep so that the vistors can see the pandas easily.

The next panda (don't know if this is Kai Kai or Jia Jia) who keeps walking around.





After visiting the pandas (each group is supposed to view for only 15 minutes, with a 5 minute buffer before the next group goes in), we went to the Panda cafe for lunch.  The restaurant is not crowded as it was before lunch and only paid visitors (with the admission ticket for the pandas enclosure) can come in.

panda bun (red bean bun)

panda cappucino (which is so bland)


After visiting the pandas, we visited the rest of the zoo (including watching the elephant show which an elephant pooed, and the rainforest fights back show which the gibbon pooed).

Last visit was to the Fragile Forest where K gets to stroke the smooth fur of a lemur.

It started raining at about 5pm (luckily the motor scooter did not stall) and we quickly left the zoo to go back to AMK for KFC (Janice's request) before going  home. 

It was a very tiring day but K enjoyed it very much (especially when she did not have to walk much) ! :)
