Just another snake joint at 蛇王良

Tried this randomly because I have not tried it before.


There are various of sets.


The best part is seeing jars of reptiles!!!!


The snake soup was how it should be, it was loaded with snakemeat, ginger, bamboo shoots, Chinese mushrooms but the taste was not impressive.

Didn't like the rice with salted meat because it had a weird smell.

The glutinous rice was ok but very soggy.

The tea was nice and strong.

Exotic sausages - Beware or do you dare?

Craft and Brew is on the corner of Old Bailey Street with simple rustic decor and lots of beer taps.



I was really excited about Craft and Brew because they serve some really DIFFERENT sausages!!!!
It gave me the same excitement as BRAT did because they don't just serve ordinary meat sausages.
The selection is more exhilarating than BRAT with their EXOTICS range featuring:
Snake, rabbit and Jalapeno
Crocodile, wild boar and chili
Mexican buffalo nachos
roast duck and plum
Beef, chili and chocolate
Chicken, honey and macadamia
Roast duck and plum was obviously going to be delicious but as a daring foodie I had to try the Snake and rabbit.
I wanted to try the crocodile too but it has Wild boar which is basically pork.
As there were so many sausages, I came here a few times.

Snake and rabbit sausage:


To be honest if I did not know it was rabbit and snake meat I would have assumed it was a chicken sausage because the texture was like chicken and the colour was pale.
The snake and rabbit sausage was interesting because it was velvety and the Jalapenos gave it a lovely kick of spiciness.
For the sides, the beetroot relish was nice and sweet which was great with the spicy sausage and saukeraut is always good with sausage.
The potato salad was lovely and creamy.

Mexican lamb merguez:


The lamb was slightly gamey and chewy because they use fresh natrual casings.

Chicken, honey and macadamia:


I knew this going to be delicious but it was amazing because it was sweet and juicy and it had WHOLE macadamia nuts in the sausage.

Roast duck and plum:

The duck sausage was fun because it was like the East meets the West tasting like Peking duck.

Although I do not drink but they have almost every beer you would want.
There were two which I found interesting because of the names:
Dead pony and Dead frog!

For improvements, it would be great if they did not put the paper sheet beneath the sausages because when you cut the sausages you end up ripping the paper as well.

Deafened by the screeching sound @ 蛇王燊

Never noticed this little snake joint, despite walking past it every day!!!

Only tried because I saw a picture of the snake soup, just plain broth with no residue or meat strands.

Sat down, and ordered, came almost imediately, however my ears were in such distress with the screams of the kid sitting on the opposite table, and the screeching noise from the tin drawer! OUCH!!!

The soup was piping hot, so a bit hard to taste the full taste, but went back next day for lunch and got a takeaway, ordered the set with snake soup, thick snake soup and snakes belly with fish maw.

The takeout was good, firstly the temperature was not as hot as in the shop, and the rice and meat have been placed in the lunch box without needing to spoon it out.
The meat was descaled nicely with skin attached, the meat in main dish reminded me of fried dace, the texture and taste, the stickyness from the fish maw reminded me of eating ducks feet. The snakes meat had an interesting fiery tinge to it, almost like pepper but slightly spicier than that. A good mix of fruit peel in it too.

As for the thick snake soup, it contained lots of snake meat, basically tastes as good as the fake sharks fin soup but better, because the pork isnt fresh in the sharks fin soup.

mind the screeching noise!!!!!!!!!!!

Early snake soup to start winter @ Se Wong Yee

Decided to have any early snake broth for winter.
The weather was disappointing, it is meant to be winter now, but it felt like summer.
I had to wait for the air con to cool the soup.

This restaurant is an old type restaurant where people sit closely cramped together on stools and share tables.

The pricing was quite expensive for those eating conditions. The snake broth was topped with fresh chrysanthemum petals, herbs and crackers.
There was strong dried fruit peel taste.
Overall I quite like it, but not as good in comparison to the Wan Chai because there was lots of brittle bones in it. The rice with ducks blood sausage was as good as before. I was relieved that the soy sauce poured on the rice did not contain oil.
In general, I found the soup too salty.
