At this Hawker’s Centre, you’ll find one of Singapore’s best dishes, Laksa (a curry based noodle dish, usually garnished with prawns), Hainan Chicken White Carrot Cake, and other local and wash it down with a Tiger Beer or any other local beverage. Remember to buy a couple of bottles of water to bring with you. You’ll find food and beverage stands at the park, once you’ve dined and are satisfied, you can make your way back to the Ang Mo Kio Station and look for bus number 138 which will take you to the SNS.

You can buy a multi-park ticket (Park Hoppers Special), which includes the Zoo, the Bird Park, and the Night Safari. This is valid for 30 days, and excludes the Tram Ride.

About the Night Safari:

The park design is truly brilliant, from the especial lamps used that provide enough lighting to permit viewing the wildlife and not interfere with the animals behavior, to providing enough lighting that allows you to move about in a safe manner. The enclosures are designed to closely emulate the animal’s native habitat, and rather than being caged, like most world zoos, the exhibits are open-air, similar to the award-winning concept of the Singapore Zoo. Animals and visitors are separated by natural hidden barriers, such as moats and shrubbery. Only the large agile cats are behind glass enclosures.

Flash photography is absolutely forbidden – Cameras’ with flashes excites the animals causing them to get wild.

White water rafting becomes popular in the Philippines, especially in Cagayan de Oro as one of the tourist attractions. This kind of adventure is an answer for any type of traveler that usually craves for something out of ordinary adventure. I went to Cagayan de Oro to try white water rafting experience. And the experience being in the midst of splashing and rushing water is far different than watching a river go by.

The weather was beautifully sunny at that time as the sun comes out with the rushing sound of the rapids for this breath-taking yet exciting venture.For beginners’ course, there are 14 rapids and paddling through long – scretch of Cagayan for three hours. This trip seems longer but certainly exciting made every minute a memorable one.

We were briefed on how to paddle correctly as well as how to follow instructions from our raft guide. During the briefing, everyone is seemed ready to begin the splashing adventure as the pure excitement can be seen in every neophyte traveler’ eye.

It was exciting as people do fall out of rafts, frequently, but as the huge waves hit us hard I am considering falling out of the raft a more adventure and fun. In fact, some of the rapids have names, each relating to a hilarious incident that happened to a celebrity.

Since it was raining the past days the water was brown, so instead of white water rafting I rather called it a brown water rafting.
