You won't regret trying the food at Pempek Lala. It's the busiest shop in Sentral Kampung Pempek Palembang, and rightfully so because the prices are cheap and the taste is incredibly delicious. Even though the pempek sizes are small, they'll make you want to keep ordering more. When you sit down, they'll automatically serve you 10 pieces of assorted steamed pempek. You can eat them according to your preference; you don't have to finish them all. You can ask for them to be fried, but it will charged fully. The next day, I went back to Pempek Lala to order their vacuum-packed pempek. I'll definitely come back here if I visit Palembang again.
