No Fasta Pasta

This has been like a pasta month for me - I know.... I know... but I was having a pasta frenzy... The last time was because I was hungry. This time it was because the kids were hungry and we needed the nearest place to eat. Heh hey! What a coincidence, it's Fasta Pasta again!
Pizza Margherita
I like the food there, but seriously, the staffs there are a bit on the slow side. It's a little upside down - main course comes first rather than starters and drinks come in probably after you choke on your food half way, and what?! - no macaroni?? no penne?? no mushroom soup?? no meatballs?? You gotta be kidding me. Then why bother calling it "fasta" "pasta"? Thankfully, they had some form of pasta and I chose the spirals.
Spirali Peppino
These were some of which the team at that restaurant need to look into. On the other hand, I was at KFC and the cashier treated us like GOLD. He actually, after putting our orders on the tray, named each one of our order like it was fine dining, and asked if we needed anything else with it. I was impressed. Seriously.... He may look skinny and nerdy and just working over a little counter of a fast food restaurant, but he has talents that restaurateurs would DIE for. He was a true professional at handling customer service... respect-lah!
Marinated Chicken Boxing
They probably ran into a pasta emergency and all pasta banks had run out of pasta (Even though the supermarket was just a few meters away...), and they probably had new staffs who may be slow... How ironic it all contradicts with it's own name tho.

Despite that, I would still give it a 8/10 cos the food taste good and the place is clean, staffs are friendly. My next few posts will contain elements of pasta again... beautiful, delicious pasta and I hope you guys will come and visit! :-) Happy Weekend!

Haha - wow. I've never had that happen at Fasta Pasta! The thing i love about Fasta Pasta is the wait is usually considerably less than at places like KFC!
Fave Fasta Pasta dish of all time: Gnocci Terasina.

haii.... well i don't have any experience in fasta pasta... but i do agree that the workers who works at the fast food restaurant such as kfc and mc donalds serve the customers better... altough their salaries are less but they still keep a good smile ... no matter how busy there are... but fine dining should remind the staffs to be more polite and give better service as customers also pay for the service tax... when u r been taxed.. of course u want a better service ... rite?

hi zubairali. i wonder too. my guess is because management was poor? my 3 times visited there... its either its very slow... they always seem to run out of certain type of pasta which i think is ridiculours for a pasta restaurant! wish they will come back.
