The carved timber, antique ornaments, weathered textures, and Peranakan motifs throughout Babah Koffie are not decorative additions, but pieces chosen over decades by House of Tugu's founder. Together, they create a space where history is discovered in layers, one detail at a time.

Delicately floral with notes of apricot and honey, osmanthus tea has been enjoyed in China for centuries.

Traditionally associated with hospitality and celebration, the tiny blossoms produce an elegant infusion that is light in body yet wonderfully aromatic, making it a quiet companion for an unhurried afternoon.

Wrapped in banana leaf, filled with sweet mung bean paste, and coloured in bright festive hues, Kue Thok has been part of Indonesia's jajanan pasar tradition for generations.

Its name comes from the soft "thok" sound made when the dough is shaped by hand before steaming. Humble, nostalgic, and unmistakably Indonesian, it continues to be one of the country's most enduring traditional sweets.

Within a traditional Peranakan household, everyone had their place.

The Nyonya Besar was the lady of the house, overseeing the family and household affairs. The Babah stood beside her, while concubines occupied a separate position within the home's social hierarchy. House of Tugu Jakarta honours this history through three distinctive suites: the Nyonya Besar Room, the Babah Room, and the Concubine Room, each offering a glimpse into a chapter of Peranakan domestic life that has largely disappeared from modern Jakarta.

Long before cafés became fashionable, poffertjes had already become part of everyday life in the Dutch East Indies.

These miniature Dutch pancakes arrived during the colonial period and gradually found a place at local tables, becoming one of the many recipes shaped by the meeting of European and Indonesian cultures. Served warm with butter and powdered sugar, they remain a simple pleasure that has outlived generations.

For one night, the soundtrack belongs to DJ RBA.

Known for sets that move effortlessly between soulful house, disco, and timeless grooves, DJ RBA takes over De Tiger, where cocktails inspired by the romantic histories of Sunda Kelapa, Old Batavia, and Glodok Chinatown accompany the evening. As the music builds and the room settles into its rhythm, the stories of the old port city find a new audience after dark.

The lobby introduces the house not through explanation, but through objects. Sculptures, paintings, and collected pieces create an immediate sense of place, where every detail carries a story.

She didn’t just build a home, she shaped a world with taste, patience, and quiet intention.

The grand madames of Peranakan Java left behind more than beautiful spaces. Their legacy lives on in carved wood, in handwoven batik, and in objects that have outlived generations.

At House of Tugu, Old Town Jakarta, those stories are not preserved behind glass; they are lived, felt, and shared.

A place where history lingers, softly, in every corner.
