We’re already spoilt for choice when it comes to halal Korean fried chicken in Melbourne (with Gami and Nene). But Pelicana sets itself apart with a lengthy list of non-chicken options.

The decor is very much “night time Seoul hangout joint” with barrel style tables and seats you may have seen on a K-drama. The premises are small, but takeaway is an option (or delivery if you live nearby).

There are two branches so far, in the CBD on Franklin Street (right near Indonesian street food hawkers Yoi) and in Coburg. We tried the city one and were met with the friendly service. The army stew was a highlight, along with the kimslaw (coleslaw with kimchi).

Kami sudah dimanja oleh pilihan ayam goreng Korea halal di Melbourne (misalnya Gami atau Nene). Tapi Pelicana membuat perbedaan yang menarik dengan daftar panjang pilihan yang bukan ayam.

Dekorasinya sama seperti “tempat nongkrong Seoul waktu malam” dengan meja dan kursi bergaya “barrel” yang mungkin pernah Anda lihat di K-drama. Tempatnya kecil, tetapi ada pilihan untuk takeaway atau delivery jika Anda tinggal dekat dari sana.

Ada dua cabang sejauh ini, di CBD di Franklin Street ( tepatnya didekat rumah makan Indonesia Yoi ) dan satu lagi didaerah Coburg. Kami mencoba yg di Franklin street, dan mendapatkan layanan yang ramah. “Army Stew” menjadi pilihan, bersama dengan “kimslaw” (salad coleslaw dengan kimchi).
