Weekend in London, again

Nicole and I got a table booked at Duck & Waffle two weeks before as we knew that we were going to have to go through the hell week at uni and needed a good break after that. After our financial economics presentation on Friday, we hopped on the train and got ourselves in time for dinner. We went to The Little French Restaurant at Earls Court as the food was pretty decent and affordable, and I managed to bring Phanit away from his computer games to come join us! 

On Saturday, we started the day late with a full English breakfast, then went straight to Picadilly Circus for lunch with Seow Wei, Zhao Feng, Eunice and Alicia. Zedels had pretty interior and I loved the posters on the walls, but their 9 quid 2-course meal offer was a bit of a scam as you can't choose anything else besides their steak with a shredded carrots starter, or dessert (pear tart I think? or coffee and biscuits sort of thing). Instead I had rabbit and pasta and shared a lovely Gateau Opera (chocolate cake, basically) with Nicole for dessert.

We were stuffing ourselves so much, and even went on to Gelupo for more sweet treats. I had the mint chocolate flavour and it was yummy-mummy! I was starting to think that we wouldn't need to order so much for dinner since we had loads of goodies throughout the day, but I was wrong.

Our Duck & Waffle reservation was at 5 p.m., so Nicole and I headed to Camden market to walk around for a bit before heading over to Liverpool Street. The timing and day for such a dinner were absolutely perfect as we were blessed with a very beautiful sunset. To be honest I was screaming with excitement inside as we went up to the 40th floor, but had to remain composed and all that, y'know. Only when I saw others whipping out their cameras and phones, I took my little x20 out and meekly took a few shots of the beautiful London below.

Everything about Duck & Waffle was great that evening, and the service there was excellent. We went for a walk around Westminster before heading back, then met up with Nicole's friend and stayed up late chatting over drinks at Phanit's place. The plan for Sunday was to visit Borough Market but we decided to detour and went to Harrods instead. 

We had pastries for breakfast and I tried Gran Caffe's Mille Feuilles and a cup of moccacino. Despite their posh interior and prime location, the service was rather bad and the breakfast was too sweet for my liking... I expected way more from them and I'd say that I was disappointed! Should have just gone in to Harrods' food hall and get some of their lovely cakes instead!

It was one of the nicest, most relaxing weekend I've had since I got back to England after cny, and I'm definitely gonna do this again soon!
