cheap breadcereal box
The breakfast was a joke I must say. The menu board displayed tempting options then it turned out those were unavailable. I was left with a box of cereal and toast warmed on a rotating rack so cheap plastic bread is the right description. I skipped breakfast altogether the following morning so I ate elsewhere.
