Get Out!! is a bi-weekly video series where our hosts go out and discover new things around Singapore.
This week, Le En and Kexin have 'Jungle Breakfast with Wildlife' where they get to enjoy a breakfast buffet and meet some orangutans at the same time.
When was the last time you set foot in the Singapore Zoo?
If it's been a long time, here's another reason to spend a day there with the family: Jungle Breakfast with Wildlife.
The event was started in 1982 as Breakfast with an Orangutan, hosted by Ah Meng, Singapore Zoo's very own celebrity.
After her passing in 2008, the breakfast was adopted by Tour East on Jan 1, 2019, renaming it Jungle Breakfast with Wildlife. This time, the breakfast is hosted by Ah Meng's granddaughter — who also goes by the name Ah Meng — at the Ah Meng Restaurant, along with other groups of orangutans.
The restaurant is designed within a ‘forest clearing’ setting, using rock walls, streams and other natural elements to separate the animals from diners, so you can be in close proximity with the animals while you enjoy your meal.
The award-winning breakfast sees a buffet line with a variety of cuisines, including local food, Western dishes and more.
The highlight of the breakfast is definitely getting up close and personal with the orangutans and having a photo opportunity with them. There will also be guest appearances by other animals in the zoo, including the macaws and snakes.
