2. Taste Different Type of Dishes That Are Made From Ostrich Meat or Eggs
Have you ever try ostrich meat? These big birds can be eaten too and the meat sold here are really delicious.
Ostrich omelette and satay are highly recommended by the guide.
You will be surprised that ostrich meat can make into so many different foods as listed below:
Ostrich Teppanyaki
Ostrich Satay
Ostrich Burger
Ostrich Omelette
Ostrich Superior Soup
Ostrich Bak Kut Teh
Ostrich Nugget
and many more
Note: The taste of ostrich omelet is the same as chicken eggs and the only difference is it is more smooth in terms of texture. For the ostrich meat, it tastes more springy, juicier and tender than other red meats, plus the smell of ostrich meat is very strong.
I personally suggest you try ostrich food before visiting the farm.
WHY? You will probably don’t wish to eat that meat after you see the cute ostriches.
3. Feed Ostriches With Corn Kernels
Get close and personal with the ostriches! This is the best time to see and admire these amazing animals. Out of 200++ ostriches, you can get close to 2 ostriches. They are allowed to walk freely on the farm.
Therefore, you can feed these 2 ostriches with a bunch of vegetables or corn kernels. It is a really good experience and absolutely fun if you’d never get so close to these Chickaboos before.
4. Take Photo Together With Ostrich
Photos are memories that are best kept, so why not snap some pictures of yourself together with the animals to prove of your visit and of course to show your friends and family how beautiful these ostriches are!
