Penang Break Part III

It is always great to be with family in Penang and we had home-cooked food for lunch before leaving (here's Nic eating chicken feet, something I've never taken to). As we departed on Sunday I said we must visit Taiping Zoo this time. The zoo, the Lake Gardens and the Taiping War Cemetery are three places of interest but as we were short of time we could only do the zoo.

We went into the zoo at about 3.30pm and as it had rained an hour or so before I reckoned we should be spared the rain. Tickets were RM5.00 (USD1.56) per adult and RM3.00 (USD0.94) for children age 3 and up. Boy, Nicole was so excited! How excited? Well, she was the only kid yelling out names (see video) from the 'Madagascar' cartoon like, Melman, Nic's fave (the giraffe), Marty (zebra) and Alex (lion) when she saw the said animals.

Definitely the best exhibit for me were the two 'orang utans' (above) as they were so adorable with their outstretched hands asking for food. We broke the 'No Feeding' rule by tossing in a 'kuih bahulu' (thanks again Ah Lin).
