As a pasta fanatic, it has dawned upon me that fresh, handmade pasta is a rare commodity in KL. So when we heard that Timothy Cafe has launched a series of pasta dishes, you didn’t have to tell us twice – of course we scurried over to try them!
Timothy Cafe Is Where You Go For House-Made Pasta In KL
What used to be home to a famed Kopitiam since 1909, now belongs to Timothy Cafe, a Melbourne laneway-inspired spot that nestles in the once majestic heritage building on Tun H.S. Lee Road. Everything about it evokes a sense of nostalgia, from the chipped-paint walls, to the choice of antique decorations. I loved that you could sit inside, or in the brick-walled alleyway, or right in front of the entrance as you sip on your much-needed cup of brewed coffee!

Freshly Made Pasta
They serve a variety of Western-Asian fusion plates here, with their latest highlight being the house-made pasta. From rigatoni to fettuccine, every batch is made fresh daily using semola flour and kampung eggs for that vibrant yolk colour and rich flavour! You’ll be pleased to know that all pasta dishes are cooked al dente.
Here’s what we tried:
Creamy Butter Masak Lemak
A fusion of flavours with Beef Bacon, Masak Lemak Paste, and Curry Leaves, served with your choice of Fettuccine or Pappardelle.
Salted Fish Seafood Aglio Olio
Featuring Mui Hiong Salted Fish from Kuantan, Sea Prawns, Clams, Olive Oil, and Mixed Herbs. With your choice of Fettuccine or Pappardelle.
No Bonus No Talk
With Black Truffle Paste, Truffle Oil, Button Mushrooms, and Italian Parmesan Cheese. With your choice of Fettuccine or Pappardelle.
Fire Your Boss
A classic spicy seafood marinara, featuring Pomodoro sauce, Tiger Prawn, Clams, and a secret blend of spices. Best enjoyed with Rigatoni.
Apart from pasta, we also tucked into their other main dishes such as:
Beef Stew
Cubes of Rump Steak Slow-Cooked with Veggies in our House-Made Gravy. Served with Carrots, Mashed Potato and Mixed Salad.
Baked Fish
Wild Ocean Barramundi, Mashed Potatoes, Lemon Butter Garlic Herb Sauce, and Cherry Tomatoes, served with Mixed Salad.
Chicken Salad
