Tired of the usual layer cake from Lampung? Discover Soes Lapena, a local gem serving incredible cream puffs. These treats are freshly filled to order, guaranteeing a perfectly crispy shell and a generous, bursting filling. Don't miss their signature flavors made with real ingredients, like the authentic durian pulp or the unique sweet and savory cheese. It's an affordable, delicious, and unforgettable souvenir that offers a true taste of Bandar Lampung beyond the ordinary.
Every time I come to Bandar Lampung, my friends always ask me to bring back layer cake, and to be honest, I'm a bit tired of it🙄. This time, I wanted to change things up, and a local friend ended up taking me to this small roadside shop, Soes Lapena. At first glance, it looked pretty unremarkable. If I hadn't seen people queuing up, I probably would have just scrolled past it.
It was only when I got closer that I realized this place specializes in cream puffs (Kue Soes), and they're freshly filled to order! Watching the staff cut open the puffy puff shells and squeeze them full of chilled filling, my mouth was already watering🤤.
Bursting with Filling! Every Bite is Packed with Real Ingredients
The signature has to be the Durian Soes[1]! It's not that cheap artificial flavoring, it's real durian pulp. That rich flavor just explodes in your mouth the moment you take a bite, and the sweetness is just right, Anjay! Even for someone like me who doesn't usually have a sweet tooth, I couldn't resist.
I also tried the Cheese Soes[2], and the sweet and savory combo is the GOAT! The filling is super generous; it bursts right out when you take a bite, and the shell is still crispy[3]. The layers of texture are just amazing! Don't be fooled by its small size, the filling is incredibly substantial[4], and one is enough to feel satisfied.
But, I have to say, though, because they're filled to order, you really have to wait patiently during peak hours. For my friends in a hurry, it's best to call and order in advance[5]. The prices are very friendly, though. The large ones are 7k Indonesian Rupiah, and the small ones are only 4k[6]. Buying a box to take home as a souvenir is presentable without breaking the bank.
Editor's Pro-Tips 📝
For those who have trouble deciding, just go straight for the Mini Soes[7]. You can try several flavors in one box, no need to struggle with the choice!
These things are very delicate, so if you're bringing them back as souvenirs[8], you have to factor in the travel time. The shells are crispiest and taste best right after they're made! You need to eat them ASAP or put them in the fridge. Although they're still edible after two days in the fridge, the shell will get soft, and the texture will be much worse[9].
They've moved to a new location, and the environment is cleaner and more comfortable than before, with much more convenient parking[10]. Just search for the shop's name on Google Maps.
Next time you're in Bandar Lampung, you know what to bring back, right? 😉
