We love their chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate, and brought some of the cookies with us for our trip to Darlington.

I ended my breakfast with banana topped with nutella ;P

Isn't this place so homey? Thank you to a friend whom I'll be meeting this weekend for the reco ;)

The corridor is just a bit narrow for big guys like my brother, but it will do.
This is us, on our way back to get our luggages to check out.

Took a cab to  King's Cross Station where we took the train to get to Darlington

At King's Cross Station—this is where "Harry Potter" and his friends took the train at Platform 9 3/4 ;)

Felt like I was more at the airport than at the train station

Back at the Customer Lounge—we had 2.5 hours of waiting time

We tried their Fanta Orange; it tasted more like real orange juice with the fizz :)

My brother had their Gamut Steak, which was sort of like Christmas Ham back at our place in Manila.

While my mom had their apple-glazed pork with egg

So much dips and sauces!
