Zhup Zhup

Har Cheong Gai ($11 / 5 pcs)
Piping hot, golden, and gloriously crisp on the outside, while juicy and tender within. The marinade of fermented shrimp paste gave each bite a savoury, fragrant punch. Crunchy, succulent, and utterly addictive—classic har cheong gai done right.

Jumbo Prawn Hokkien Mee ($38 / 1–2 pax)
Awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand for the fourth year running in the 2025 Michelin Guide Singapore, expect an elevated take on the hawker classic. See plump, fresh-tasting jumbo prawns, saucy strands, pork slices, and crispy pork lard all simmered in a rich prawn broth. The noodles were smoky, perfectly stir-fried, and had a great texture (not too soft or mushy). Flavourful but not too jelak.

Jumbo Prawn Paofan ($42 / 1–2 pax)
A true showstopper that arrived still bubbling at the table. The broth—a decadent yellow-orange—was bold, brimming with seafoody umami, and rich without being overwhelming. Packed with clams, fried egg floss, and jumbo prawns, the claypot was comforting, hearty, and shiok to the very last spoonful. Psst, you can get one free soup refill 🥣—a great value add apart from their already highly acclaimed prawn noodles.

Decided to try out Zhup Zhup after hearing about it online and it did not disappoint!

We tried the supreme noodles which boasted hotpot broth rich in flavour and was packed with pork ribs, lala and prawns. Customers get to choose from the standard variety of noodles, which can be served dry or with soup - both were equally delicious!

The ngoh hiang also had good variety to complement the noodles, and the drinks were refreshing for a sunny afternoon.

Perfect meal to have on a cool evening! Thoroughly enjoyed both the orders. The classic prawn noodles soup had a thick tasty broth and the kwayteow was soft yet chewy. Shout out to the classic prawn soup with pork ribs - it had a sweet lingering taste on top of the already delicious broth. The prawns were also fresh and the ribs were tender. The coffee shop space is also newly renovated making it comfortable and clean to dine at. Will recommend!

I am a big fan of prawn noodles, so I was rather excited to try out Zhup Zhup when I found out it had been awarded the Michelin bib gourmand.

My friend and I ordered the classic prawn noodle soup, and a dry noodle version of the prawn and pork ribs soup. When the soups arrived, you get hit immediately with fragrance of the umami, rich prawn broth bubbling away in front of you, which I really loved! I love my soups HOT so you can be sure that they served it that way haha, and I felt it also brought out the flavors of the broth better when served hot too. The prawn noodle soup was everything I had imagined and more, and the soup that came with the pork ribs and prawns surprisingly tasted slightly sweeter compared to the soup that only had prawns.

The kway teow noodles were thin and springy, which I feel can be rather hard to find in Singapore as you’d find the thicker ones normally, so plus points for that! We got a mix of the beehoon and yellow noodles with chili for the dry version, which was a good combination too. When eating prawn noodles, you also got to pair it with some ngoh hiang and prawn crackers, which was decent and went well with the noodles!

After trying Zhup Zhup, I can definitely understand why it got a Michelin bib! The soup broth was really fragrant and rich, and you can drink quite a bit of it before it gets too jelak haha. If you’re in the area do give it a shot :)
