Planning a trip to Lampung? Don't miss Askha Jaya, the ultimate souvenir hub that’s more like a theme park for banana chips! Dive into a massive selection of flavors, from rich chocolate to savory cheese. The highlight is the huge tasting area, so you can try before you buy and find your perfect match. With convenient packing services for travelers and even a coffee stall to relax at, it’s the perfect last stop for delicious, locally-loved souvenirs.
Just got back from Lampung, and before leaving, I had to go on a souvenir hunt! A friend recommended this place, Askha Jaya. I originally thought it was just a regular souvenir shop, but when the car pulled in, I was shocked... Anjay! This isn't just a shop, the parking lot is big enough for tour buses 🚌, it's basically a whole souvenir theme park!
Entering the Banana Chip Universe 🍌
Walking in, I was completely blown away by the mountains of banana chips piled on the shelves. The air was filled with a sweet banana aroma. It truly lives up to its slogan, "Lampung is the paradise of bananas, Askha Jaya is your choice"[1]. There were so many types of products that my analysis paralysis kicked in[2].
Their signature product is, of course, banana chips (Keripik Pisang)[3], from chocolate and cheese to Milo flavor, they have everything. The best part is the huge tasting area, where you can try before you buy, so you don't have to worry about picking a bad one[4]! I personally highly recommend the chocolate flavor. It's coated in a thick layer of powder, and one bite is super Mantap! Oh, and there's a coffee stall in the store. The milk coffee they sell surprisingly has that Kopi Tuku vibe, with a very special condensed milk flavor[5]. It's perfect for a cup to Chill with when you're tired from shopping.
Real Talk Time 🤫
But to be fair, there are a few small things to complain about. My favorite Milo-flavored banana chips only come in small packs, with no large-size option[6]. It's just not enough, boss!
Also, at checkout, the line for paying with QRIS scan-to-pay was a bit long. If you're in a hurry, I strongly suggest going straight to the cash registers inside. There are fewer people, and it's much faster[7].
Pro-Level Tips to Avoid Pitfalls ✨
Here, let me summarize a few solid tips to save you time and money:
- Payment Options: If you're not in a hurry, you can use QRIS[8]. If you use BNI's QRIS, you can even get a 25k IDR discount on a minimum spend of 200k IDR from Friday to Sunday[9]! If you're in a rush, bring enough cash for a quick checkout!
- Online Deals: Can't make it to the store? No problem! They often have flash sales with up to 10%-12% off on Shopee and TikTok[10], so you can wait for one of those.
- Packing Service: Bought too much? Don't worry, the store offers a professional packing service. They'll bundle up all your bags securely, so you can even carry them straight onto the plane[11].
- Try Before You Buy: Don't be shy, make sure to try everything at the tasting area! Find your favorite flavor before you commit, otherwise it's a waste if you buy something you don't like.
- Enter Askha Jaya's banana chip universe! Sweet banana aroma everywhere, with mountains of chips in tons of flavors. Good luck choosing! [1]
- Their milk coffee has that Kopi Tuku vibe! After shopping, the sweet condensed milk is a perfect way to Chill [2].
- Huge tasting area! Freely sample wild flavors like chocolate, cheese, and Milo. Try before you buy—no bad surprises! [3]
