KASPER PEDERSEN - EXECUTIVE CHEF

THE PELIKAN 



What’s your favorite Chinese spot?

Why? “I Love the amazing Won Tons coming in a bowl of spicy pork stock at "Lucky Wonton". The dish is nothing sophisticated, nor complex but delicious and not sunk in huge amount of oil. 

There is also another great thing to try - the street pancakes with poached egg and cheese... delicious, fast snack which you can get almost on every corner, the price is also great - 8-10RMB for one with salad, egg and cheese! Many decent places and dishes are ahead of me to give a try but sometimes I'm little concerned about the hygiene policy that some spots are definitely lacking.
