At PastaMania, the team works closely with many excellent brands, using only the very best ingredients found all over the world, to create that famous 'PastaMania' experience that consumers love so much. Their purchasing team toils relentlessly, seeking and negotiating with various suppliers and producers from a multitude of countries, often having to speak in different languages to find ingredients that match up to what we call the ‘PastaMania Standard’.
Their Research and Development team then takes over; first testing and assessing the product, ensuring it is of sufficient quality before the recipe is produced. Then experimenting with alternative recipes, trying out and put to trial to a panel of Food Testers and Critics over and over again, before the final recipe is decided. Finally, streamlining and developing the work process for that particular product, and put to trial once again, before it is presented to the customers.
Therefore, more often than not, only Brands that are widely recognized to be of quality can possibly survive this series of arduous and demanding tests.

For Parents:
This had to be the best excursion that the children enjoyed the most. Not only they get to eat pizzas and pastas for their lunch, they also get to make their very own pizza.
We were greeted warmly by Cheryl at the lift lobby. She brought us to take a SUPER BIG cargo lift that could fit in all 20 of us. We stopped at Level 5 where PastaMania Headquarters is located. We started the programme with a brief introduction of pizzas and pastas. Now, the children knew that these foods origin from Italy and there are many different types of pastas. I am really surprised that most of them listened attentively and asked relevant questions! Cheers!
Next, Cherly's friend, Lawerence brought us on a kitchen tour around PastaMania. We explored the coffee machine, electrical stove, ice maker and the oven and Lawerence explained patiently the functions of each machine. The children were very cooperative by taking turns to ask questions. I am really so proud of them!
Last but not least, the children got the opportunity to make their own pizza with the help of Lawerence and other chefs on duty. They kneaded the dough, spreaded the tomato sauce, added the ingredients (shredded chicken, mozarella cheese and button mushrooms) onto their ready dough expressively. They had really put in a lot of effort and creativity in making and deocrating their pizza. I am so sure that they were very proud of themselves. That marked the end of our PastaMania tour. Horray!
Cheers,
Angeline
