The Kitchen with no Fire (21x9)

:

This kitchen never gets too hot as raw is the preferred way of eating. This is the Ocean Park kitchen, which serves guests from all over the world - the guests being thousands of animals. The trainers are mainly in charge of food. Even though there’s no cooking involved, everyday is extremely busy, as they need to wash the food, and cut it into the right shapes and sizes for different animals, even removing skin and intestines. They also have to closely monitor the animals eating to learn more about their health and habits. For example, garlic juice is often added to fish bait, which is not only a disinfectant, but also tastes good to the fish. And the pandas get a treat during special festivals - what are they going to get for Chinese New Year? After all that preparation, finally comes the trainers’ favourite moment, when they get to feed the animals. It’s a great way for trainers and animals to nurture relationships. This kitchen isn’t too hot, but it’s certainly a warm one.
