Contemporary Nyonya by the River

The ChuPu is a contemporary, upscale Nyonya restaurant and cafe at 104 Lorong Hang Jebat, beside the scenic Melaka River. Its name comes from the traditional Peranakan chupu, a ceramic jar used to hold birds’ nest soup and other delicacies during Nyonya weddings.

The kitchen brings Baba Nyonya flavours together with Western plating and premium ingredients, creating a polished dining experience in the heart of the heritage district.

Finish with The ChuPu Cendol, a playful take on the classic dessert with a splash of rum.
