Nihon Mura & Night Safari Outing..=)


Night Safari

Its a real pity that my Nikon camera is in repair hence, was unable to capture the animals in Night Safari. =( As usual, I am always looking out for great deals to grab. Typical auntie. haha~ I went to sign up for the Passion Card at one of the community centres as they are currently having a promotion. The membership is $10 for three years and once you signed up, you can choose from either 1) 1 comp Night Safari admission ticket, 2) 1 comp Zoological ticket or 3) Fila Bag. I helped my dear to sign up too and we chose the night safari tixs since its more worthwhile as the admission tickets alone is $22. Ours is $10 only! save $$! Along the night safari has been around for quite some time, I am embarrassed to mention that this is my first visit there.
The setup and the ambience of the Night Safari is similar to the "Survival" show concept. I felt that it was nicely done up and the tram ride was enjoyable as you are able to enjoy the cool breeze, the forest trail and etc. And the best highlight would be the special shows they had at certain timings of the night. I think without its accompaniment , the whole Night Safari night experience would not be that complete. Sad thing is I could not really see the animals well in the dark although Night Safari experience is all about " Seeing them in different light". Nevertheless, my dear presence with me heightened my overall Night Safari experience. Thanks dear for accompanying me despite that you do not really like the smell of the Zoo. ~~

Nikon Mura

It was a delicious and satisfying Japanese buffet for me @ Nikon Mura with my uni friends (Hui Yun and Sabrina). Personally, I preferred it to Sakae Sushi (the "green frog") although it was my first time there. Their presentation of food was awesome and most importantly, their salmon did not come with rice so I had numerous plates of salmon alone. On top of that, they served us one glass of complimentary watermelon juice and subsequently, free flow of various chilled juices and green tea which you can choose from. The food was piping hot unlike Sakae Sushi whereby sometimes, their food has already turned cold. Their Chawamushi and the potato croquette was delicious . Overall, thumbs up for such a good deal buffet! its about $17nett for students and its really worthwhile. yummy...=) I just want to mention Hui Yun's huge appetite. She can be my good kakee for buffet next time as she can really eat alot! My gosh, she is even better than me! haha~ Hui Yun ~ there goes your diet plan ever since you have mentioned it months ago. ~
