Last weekend, I went to Singapore Zoo with my parents. The last time I visited the zoo was about ten years ago and so much has changed.
Now there are more than 2800 animals in the lush forest, restaurants, animal performances and rides. The zoo is really big and I'm glad there is unlimited tram rides where you can hop on or hop off. The tram rides is inclusive with the ticket but not for corporate pass.
I think the highlight of the trip is the performance by Asian elephants who gave a rousing performance. I didn't know elephants could perform and listen to instructions. Also they look so cute when they smile.
Ticket for adult is priced at $28 and $18.00 for child.

After exploring the zoo, we felt hungry so we had Kaya toast, coffee and half-boiled eggs.
