We meet the guy who looked at Singapore’s brutal F&B scene and said…

“Yeah, sure. Let’s sell fresh pasta.”

Introducing Darren Tan, Co-founder & Brand Manager of PastaGo, the young entrepreneur who went from kneading dough in an abandoned kitchen during COVID to building one of the fastest-growing pasta brands around.

And trust us, nothing about this journey is “al dente.”

Think:

🔥 Opening-day chaos

🔥 The surprising science behind making pasta that survives delivery (AND picky customers)

🔥 The secret psychology behind portions, add-ons, and why you think you’re full

🔥 And why he refuses to offer discounts even on Day 1

This isn’t just a pasta story.

It’s a masterclass in product obsession, scrappy scaling, and breaking F&B “rules” one plate at a time.

🎧 Tune in to hear Darren’s full story — the risks, the realities, and the pasta revolution he’s trying to build.
