Have you ever wanted to taste something truly different? Hong Kong invites you to try its exotic local delight - Snake Soup. For the bravest food lovers, Ser Wong Leung, or "Leung the Snake King", is a must-visit! With a rich history of over 20 years, this spot has even earned a mention in the Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendations in 2020.

A Century-Old Eatery

Walking into Ser Wong Leung is like traveling back in time. You won't find the modern touch of urban restaurants. Instead, you'll see a century-old nameplate, wooden cabinets warning of "Venomous Snakes(毒蛇)", snake wine bottles, and a friendly team, some of whom have been serving for over 50 years! Feeling brave? Just ask, and they'll show you the snakes!

Taste It Before It's Gone

As times change, fewer people fancy snake meat, putting this eatery's future in doubt. With the founder's descendant retired and mostly long-serving employees at the helm, there's a chance this unique culture might disappear. Now is the perfect time to experience this tradition.

Snake Soup: A Warm Treat for Hong Kong's Winter

Winter in Hong Kong can be chilly. But a warm bowl of snake soup is the perfect remedy. It's not just soup; it's an experience. Imagine a clear broth, filled with snake meat, chicken, black fungus(木耳), and herbs. For those wondering, snake meat tastes like chicken but is chewier. Add Chinese crackers for crunch and red vinegar for spice, and you're in for a treat! Beyond taste, snake soup is part of Hong Kong's soul. Rooted in Chinese medicine's YinYang(陰陽) concept, snake soup balances winter's cold. Seen as a superfood, it's said to boost circulation and heal. Every winter, locals gather for this warmth and strength.

Hong Kong is dotted with snake soup spots. But for an authentic experience, Ser Wong Leung awaits. Embrace the adventure, and taste a dish that has warmed Hong Kongers for generations!
