Hi my name is Optimus… I am an Ice-cream-o-holic. I do not know when exactly this addiction started, but I must have been still little when it happened. It must be one of those children’s parties wherein ice cream is as ubiquitous as spaghetti and hotdogs.
Zero, null, nil, naught, zilch… That is the price of a Manila-Singapore roundtrip ticket. Last November we took advantage of Cebu Pacific’s zero-fare promo and booked ourselves to visit the Lion City in February.
Our last stop, before we went home was AC Rumpa. The first thing that popped into my mind upon hearing the name was actually Willy Wonka’s Oompa-Loompas! Seriously, don’t expect midgets with funny hairdos working here. AC Rumpa actually stands for Angeles City Retired US Military Personnel Association.

Did you know that many great occurrences in world history started in coffee shops? It is said that the French revolution was brewed in Café Foy. The New York Stock Exchange was steeped in the old Tontine Coffee House. Caffeine must have perked up something in the minds of those folks; the same way it added a couple of IQ points when we used to cram for exams.
When we saw the sign Café Mesa in the perimeter of Clark Field, we decided to stop and give it a try. Maybe we’ll use the same cup used by a famous person…. At the very least coffee would be decent, right?

If asked for words starting with C, a food fanatic might say: cake, crepe, calzone, carpaccio, confit… chiz curls, chippy =). For those who have tasted the hybrid Italian dish called panizza, C is a restaurant tucked away in the distant land of Angeles, Pampanga (yeah 2 hours of travel is far for us).
