Snake Soup / 蛇王兄 / Hong Kong

One of my all-time favorite dishes in my hometown Hong Kong, is Snake Soup! This well known delicacy is made from fresh snake meat (I believe most are bred in farms and no longer caught in the wild), with a variety of mushrooms, fungi and various herbs.

This particular store (蛇王兄) also offers broiled chicken soaked in snake broth, as well as succulent pork, duck and goose liver sausages, with glutinous rice.

While these dishes are usually associated with as a must-have during the winter period, they are actually available on all days of the year. Do consider trying them if/when you’re visiting Hong Kong!
