Pickled Pelican — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

We went a bit further to Stanley for date night dinner on Sunday. Famous for their brilliant British food, Pickled Pelican is a British restaurant and bar located at the promenade of Stanley main street. Pickled Pelican is a two-story restaurant with outdoor seating area on the ground floor, and a pool table on the second floor. We made a reservation in advanced, and were seated on the second floor with a table by the window as we wished. Awesome! We were able to enjoy the sea view without being blown by the strong wind XD We do recommend the second floor for the time being!

We ordered a drink to start with. Red wine for my partner, and Oreo Milkshake for me. The milkshake was definitely fantastic! It’s so smooth and flavoured! Yet not overly sweet nor stuffing with the cookies and cream ice cream in it. It’s truly enjoyable even throughout the meal!

We came for this Cheezy Lava burger, which was a gourmet beef burger with melted cheese sauce and bacon! It’s absolutely delightful and wowing! The melted cheese sauce was so yummy! It didn’t solidify very quickly, so that you could still enjoy this melted cheese with the beef burger. We opted for medium for the beef, and the meaty beef was thicker than the burger itself! The thin crispy bacon on top was great too! We simply loved everything about this burger!

We upgraded our fries to Cheesy Guacamole Fries. You would never know guacamole could go so well with cheese to give you a foodgasm with ordinary fries until you try it!

Another dish we ordered was this Weekend special Lobster Pie. It was funny how the lobster shell was positioned to look at you when served. It was an empty shell though, but all the meat was in the pie, as well as the crawls on top. We liked this potato mash seafood pie a lot. Some of the lobster meat tasted a bit too fishy to me though.

On the whole, we were very satisfied with the dining environment and food at Pickled Pelican, it’s a great place for a chillaxing date...

Horrible service and food just below average. This is what happened. I ordered a burger asking to have all the ingredients inside the burger and not on top (it's some kind of decoration they make, making an hole on top of the bread inserting there the bacon and melting the cheese on top). Easy request, waitress understood and acknowledged. The burger arrived in its original shape so I recalled them my order and asked to correct. After few minutes the waitress came back and I couldn't believe what it was happening, I thought it was a joke. They simply took the bacon put it under the bread and covered it again so the cheese was still on top of and the bread now was having a big hole on top. Sent it back, the 3rd times finally I got what I asked for. The waitress was even walking away when I was trying to...

Our regular weekdays outing spot particularly when I get a chance to work from home. Why, I can pick up my car after work, pick up my wife and off we go to Stanley Main Street! A spot where we can bring our little puppy and enjoy excellent food and particularly extra smooth Guinness. On a week day evening, the main courses were buy 1 get 1 free! Excellent deal! Drinks at 30% off. If you enjoy a pint of stout, Guinness is highly recommended and the smoothness can almost match those I tasted in Dublin, you even get a little shamrock(a small clover which is now the national flower of Ireland) imprinted on top of the white beer fluff like what you’ll in...
