I picked up a packet of Lawson's petit cream puffs on a whim, just over a week ago, for the family to share, and they have gone down so well I have already bought them four times since. They are the perfect combination of choux cream and custard in my opinion. Sometimes I find the choux pastry of cream puffs a bit too dry in Japan. These are just the right amount of moist. The balance of custard is just right too, and it is nice and creamy. I appreciate 12 in one pack too, makes them ideal for sharing. Although, truth be told, I could probably manage all 12 on my own!

Although there are 12 in one pack, the biggest problem with these petit cream puffs is that they are gone in a flash. Yes, there are six members in my family, but two people don't eat desserts. Meaning even between four of us, the pack is empty within seconds of opening it. Because they are so good, as I said above, I have already purchased them several times since my first purchase. And while they are not that expensive, they are not cheap either. They are 298 yen before tax and 322 yen after tax. It works out at less than 30 yen per cream puff, but they really are only bite size. All that said, I will definitely buy them again: perhaps multiple times!
