quick casual dining

When you crave for an Italian fare and you are in Singapore, I suggest you visit Pastamania.

Pastamania; quick casual dining that does not burn you pocket. I’ve learned that it has 15 different locations. (But I’ve only been to their Suntec City, Harbourfront Centre and Plaza Singapura branches.)

As one frugal spender, I look for low-priced and superior quality meals. Pastamania has not disappointed me so far. Although we dine their once a month as a treat to ourselves, after eating food from kopitiams or hawkers stalls, which by the way sells good AND really cheap local fare.

Pastamania serves appetizers, desserts, pizzas (a choice of a 7inch or 10inches) and a wide range of pasta dishes to choose from; rich and creamy pastas, vegetarian pastas, oven baked pastas, stuffed pastas, and seafood pastas.

Aside from the usual beverages like Coca Cola products and iced tea, they also serve hot tea, smoothies, juices, cold caffe, hot caffe (Vittoria), wine, Italian sodas, mineral water and beer. Mind you, they have San Migueal Beer Pale Pilsen. But if a glass of your usual Coke is not in your budget for the moment or you’re simply counting the additional calorie, you can ask for a glass of water and it’ll be delivered to your table.

Anyway, whenever we dine in or order for takeaway, we always have our usuals; Carbonara for hubby and either Creamy Chicken or Marinara for moi. *smiles* Of course, we will never forget our super thin crust Margherita pizza, which is just tomato sauce and lots of mozzarella cheese.

Marinara; a seafood pasta with prawns, squid and clams in an herby tomato sauce

This is a hearty meal for us, with a glass of Coke, of course!
