Due to an overwhelming requests, here I am at Parkway Branch (again?). I was walking towards the Pastamania and my eyes were searching for the HALAL cert (previously I cannot find it). It seems that they were holding on to it and were placing the cert here and there finding the BEST place to display it. Just in time, when I was there to order, the cert was diplayed prominently at the counter. (Or I might have walked away..again)
Anyway, didnt know there is an outdoor area. Still air-conditioned and its nice kinda romantic. The staff also eat here (like a hidden backend)
The restaurant was kinda “lonely” with little customers. Perhaps, later on there might be more people after work. I was there around 5+pm.
Not knowing what to order, again to be on the safe side, I chose those with little icon that indicate their favourites. I chose chips + nacho cheese (I love NACHO cheese!) , meat lover pizza and beef ball spaghetti.
I like the texture of the spaghetti, just nice , al-dente and the sauce is freshly made. I like! The beef balls are not rounded but it is packed with meat!Yum!
Meat lover pizza- I love the thin crust and its flavour is ok. But its not as meaty as expected (I shouldn have compared to Canadian pizza).Not bad.
The price is $26.60 for 2-3 person. Will try other food on the menu like baked rice and eel pizza…next time? Definitely!
anyway, previous post on pastamania (KL/Malaysia):

p.s: I always have difficulty searching for that particular restaurant/eatery in MUIS new website, is it just me or….
while the page u linked did they that they are halal,but the catering said they are not.so it’s like hmm?maybe you’ll like to check it out?
No, Putri, it's not just you. It really is hard to find info on the new halal directory http://www.singaporehalaldirectory.com/indexSHD.aspx?DirID=76&Version=english Dunno if there's too much info or I'm just too dumb to find it. Worse is when they give you error pages sometimes. The old MUIS one was simple yet served our purpose well.
Hi Putri I am as excited. Somehow I am a little confuse too, if you refer to the FAQ on the catering menu page , there is a question if Pastamania is Halal, and the answer is stated as NO. Not sure if their Halal certification is only meant for the outlets and not the catering or the site wasnt fully updated.
Pak Usu/Anonymous: I think they have just edited it to “YES”.

notsopleased: Yeah I prefer the old site too, straightforward.
hi putri,
i think the new halal directory website is getting more and more complicated… y couldnt they stick to the old format.. easier to see and find.. i did send a feedback sometimes ago to MUIS regarding the website but no one answer me back.. maybe too busy i guess.. maybe u could send an official mail to them regarding this….
