Ecco cafe at Chulia Street

Ecco Cafe, recommended by local online food critic, is situated at Chulia Street. Housed in the pre-war shoplots, Ecco Cafe decor is unadorned, almost bare with a hint of an antiquity. Ecco Cafe serves italian dishes ranging from pasta to pizza.


Ecco Cafe simple with just a good range of choice.


Is this real food or just fake food ? I think it's real

With the size constraint of a pre-war shoplot, I think Ecco Cafe has only about 10-12 tables. The place was cosy and it wasn't hot or humid eventhough it is not an air-conditioned restaurant.


Peeling paints, is this an art form ?


Settings with 'kopitiam' taste


Some old fan with not so new stuffs


Rows of cups reminiscent of 'kopitiam' style


Some old antique decor


Small kitchen with a small crew


Pesto bread (RM 7.50)


The mastermind at work


The helper working hard


Pasta ala Lorenzo, tomato based with herbs and olives (RM 15)


Pasta ala 'Truz', chicken cajun in cream sauce with banana. Yup, with banana ...(RM 17)


Cream brulee with strawberry sauce, just so-so ... can skip this ...

Overall the food quality is good with good portion, the drinks are not expensive but require improvement. The home made pasta texture is exquisite, reminds me of authentic italian pasta, however given the price, the ingredients can be improved on ... ( some prawns, clams and etc). The tasting is quite good, no hint of MSG used, didn't feel thristy ... at least it's not to the point where I feel thirsty after meal. The verdict is :

(Best of 5 stars)
Food quality: 3.25 stars ( ingredients can be improved on ... )
Service: 3 stars
Food portion: 3 stars
Value: 3 stars

Good visit if you want to experience its home made pasta.
