Tucked away in a residential area of Metro, Lampung, is a must-try Bakmi joint so popular it closes by 2 PM. While its noodles offer a unique sweet and savory flavor, the real showstoppers are the incredibly juicy and generously filled wontons. For a wallet-friendly price, you get a massive, satisfying bowl. Be prepared for a hot and crowded space, but the amazing food is worth the race against time. Get there early before it sells out
Honestly, if a lokal friend hadn't shown me the way, I would have completely missed this hidden gem. It's located in a regular residential building in the city of Metro, Lampung, with a super low-key entrance. But once mealtime hits, the massive crowd tells you this place is something special.
A Mix of Sweet and Savory, But the Wontons are the Real Star!
Sat down and first ordered their signature Mie Ayam Pangsit[1]. The moment the noodles arrived, the aroma was heavenly! The noodles have a unique savory flavor, but magically, the chicken topping is actually on the sweeter side. This combination is a bit strange at first, but the more you eat, the more addictive it gets, Mantap!
But the real MVP of the whole meal, I declare, is their wontons (Pangsit)! Thin skin, generous filling, firm meat, and bursting with juice in one bite, so delicious I'm at a loss for words. I've seriously never had better wontons in Metro.
And the portion size is so generous... Even for someone like me with a big appetite, I felt like my stomach was going to explode after finishing it[2]. For girls with smaller appetites, one bowl is definitely enough for two people. With this kind of value for money, who wouldn't love it?
Praise First, Then the Cons: Here's the Real Experience
Now that I'm done with the praise, I have to be honest about some things. The atmosphere is definitely more 'down-to-earth'. Since it's a converted house, the space is small and a bit cramped, and it gets packed during peak hours. Also, all the heat from the kitchen drifts into the dining area, so I was sweating buckets while eating. It felt a bit Ngap (stuffy and hot)[3], so friends who are particular about the environment might need to be mentally prepared.
