Pempek Kapal Selam, or “Submarine Pempek,” is a standout favourite. Filled with a whole egg at its core, this hearty and flavour-packed variety offers a perfect combination of textures. The soft, chewy outer layer contrasts beautifully with the rich, creamy egg inside. Lightly boiled and then fried to golden perfection, it’s best enjoyed with a generous serving of tangy cuko sauce, which adds a hint of sweetness and spice to every bite.
Perfect as a filling snack or a centrepiece for a meal, Pempek Kapal Selam is a must-try for anyone looking to savour the authentic taste of Palembang cuisine.

Storage and Reheating Tips
Vacuum-Sealed Pempek
Refrigerator: Keep vacuum-sealed Pempek in the fridge for up to 10 days.
Freezer: Store vacuum-sealed Pempek in the freezer for up to 1 year. Ensure it is completely cooled before freezing, and reheat straight from frozen when ready to enjoy.
Fresh or Unsealed Pempek
Refrigerator: Store freshly made or unsealed Pempek in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–5 days.
Freezer: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3–6 months. Allow it to cool completely before freezing, and reheat directly from frozen when needed.
Why Vacuum Sealing is Better for Freezing:
Prevents Freezer Burn: Vacuum sealing removes air, the primary cause of freezer burn.
Preserves Freshness: Ensures your Pempek stays flavourful even after long-term storage.
Reheating Tips:
For the best taste, reheat cooked Pempek by frying, steaming, or briefly microwaving. Always thaw frozen Pempek in the fridge overnight for optimal results before cooking or reheating.
