We watched the free-flight bird show at noon where the keeper showcased the birds' unique skills and agility. There were coin-snatching Galahs, flocks of cockatoos, majestic kites and many others.

And we spent some time covering the zoo grounds, taking in the sights of the colorful animals. The zoo was preparing for dinosaur exhibits in the coming month so some dinos had started to appear in some spots in the zoo, although they're not in action yet.

As the food sold in the food court did not look appetizing, we decided to skip lunch and just munched on some croissants and puff pastries that we brought along with us. After we concluded our zoo visit, we drove to Kingsford for some martabak from Roseberry Bakso House and bakso goreng from Pinangsia Noodle House. They were so tasty they could beat other martabak and bakso goreng in Jakarta hands down.
Then it's time to explore the Darling Harbour! It's a great place to have some leisurely stroll followed by nice meal in any of the restaurants and cafe lined up along the way. Lindt cafe was our choice, we had hot chocolate and ice cream there.. heavenly!

I've heard so much about Hurricane Grill restaurant and felt that we had to give it a try, especially when our food-lover hosts also seconded the idea. It's so popular that making reservation was the way to go. Initially we wanted to go to their Darling Harbour branch but it was already full booked, so we went to their Top Ryde City branch instead.
The BBQ pork ribs were really tasty. Juicy and soft meat that's really well marinated, slathered in finger-licking good BBQ sauce. Yums! Their baked potato served with sour cream was great too. What a nice way to end our day.
