We left Penang late in the morning to arrive in Taiping for lunch. We ate at Mr. BBQ Restaurant. We ordered stout chicken, sweet and sour cuttlefish and squid, and "choy tarm". The cuttlefish and squid dish was novel to us. Julian had homecooked porridge brought all the way from Penang in his magic porridge pot.

Then, we were off to the zoo! It was crowded due to the holiday. The first thing we did was to hop onto the zoo train. It gave us a good preview of the animals. Julian pointed with interest to some of the animals he saw.
The train ride was a good decision because it started to rain shortly after the ride ended. We did manage to visit a few enclosures for Julian have a walk-around. At this age, he is more interested in walking around that to admire the animals. Anyway, it was good for Angie and I because the last time we visited the Taiping Zoo was when we were still little kids.

Yeah, the train ride is a good way to see the animals. It is quite a long walk, and you'll get tired easily especially if you have children with you on top of lugging a baby bag and a camera bag!
