It's cold. That's means it's time for snake!
According to Chinese medical theory, snake is supposed to be warm you up.
This is one of the few specialist snake shops on Hong Kong Island. This was my first time here.
Tuck away in the bustlings streets of Wan Chai, it seemed impossible to locate.
Luckily, with the big poster hanging above everyone right in the middle of the street, it's hard to miss the guy with the really Big Snake :
The shop is very near the poster.Decor:
It's a very small stall with about 8 seats all facing the wall and a small table for three placed outside.
(They seem to have a new unit hidden away somewhere now. Anyway, takeaway is available.)
My colleague and I went in. We managed to squeeze into a corner. It's surprisingly comfortable.
The seats were reasonably spaced out. There's even enough space for the gentleman next to me to read his magazine without disturbing anyone. The lighting was not too bright and the air ventilation was good.
The service was surpringly good. The two male staff sounded rough but were actually polite. The female waitresses were even more polite.
Suddenly I felt like being transported back to Hong Kong 30-40 years ago.
Chinese menu only.We both ordered Set C, which consisted of Snake Broth, a bowl of glutinous rice and a small plate of choi sum.
It arrived after a very short wait.
The bowl of snake broth looked small. Just the size of a really small rice bowl.
However, its packed with a LOT of snake meat! It came in chunks of snake. You could actually see the snake skin!
(OK I know it sounds scary but many so called snake soup specialists will add a lot of chicken meat to pass as snake meat - that's why it taste like chicken! ).
Also, the snack soup here had wood fungi and a bit of lemon grass.
Very delicious and satisfying!
Don't forget to add the crunchy fried dough above the choi sum.
It's supposed to be very good for *ahem*... men's health.
The choi sum was just average quality though. The plate you see here were for two persons.The bowl of glutunous rice didn't look too big but was rather filling.
It had a lot of dried shrimps, fresh spring onions, roasted peanuts and a bit of shredded pork.
Very flavourful!
Definitely worth a try.
2nd Visit:
This shop seems pretty good at marketing. It's on TV a number of times recently. I saw them on RoadShow too.
This time I came with a number of colleagues who really needed a boost (in body temperature, I hasten to add.)
We got take away this time. The service was a bit rougher than before as Snake King wasn't there. Since our take away took some time, we figure we should have our meals on the spot instead of walking back to office. These two staff, one male and one female (different from my first visit) practically ignored our requests.
Anyway, we all choose Set B. We all had Snake soup, Snake thick broth and Fried rice with snake "loin" at about HK$69.
Everyone was really happy with the snake thick broth. Consistently good.
The snake soup was a bit like a Chinese herbal soup. It's brown in colour and not bitter.
The snake fried rice was really good! Again, it's about the size of a filled rice bowl so not too substantial. The fried rice was dry and each rice was separated from each other, like how a good fried rice should be. Quiet a lot of chopped snake loin and shredded snake meat. The whole dish was very flavourful. All my colleagues really enjoyed it.
The size of all meals were just about sufficient for most guys. Like their motto on the large poster:
"Keeping you filled; Keeping you wanting for more."
Recommended.
题外话/补充资料：
暂时在港岛试了的蛇王总结如下：
蛇王[b]芬[/b]：环境最好选择最多但蛇羹几乎全部是鸡肉，性价比极低．
蛇王[b]二[/b]：虽有鸡肉但蛇肉比例可以．润肠套餐性价比高．环境企理．
蛇王[b]燊[/b]：份量不大但蛇碌真材实料．蛇腩炒饭亦很不错．
蛇王[b]林[/b]：独沽一味五蛇羹的传统老店．蛇王二的大小但全是蛇肉！
