    獨沽一味五蛇羹的傳統老店夠專注
    蛇羹味道清淡,蛇肉相當豐富.
    常有活蛇,蛇酒,蛇膽藥品鎮鋪.
    舊式裝修.服務友善,性價比高.
    推介!

    Old Hong Kong style eatery with minimal decor;
    One shop, One item: Fresh snake meat in a light broth.
    Other snake products available.
    Friendly service, Good value.
    Worth a try!

    She's just around the corner:
    地點: 上環地鐵站附近。孖沙茶餐廳同一條街。不難找。

    "She Wong Lam" (Snake King Lam) is located just next to "Master Cha Chaan Teng" at Hiller Street.

    This is apparently one of the oldest snake shop in Hong Kong, probably opened for more than a century.

    There is a Japanese introduction to snake soup placed outside, next to the cage with a few real snakes! shocked:
    國際化: 門口有日文介紹蛇羹的好處.現在$45一碗.

    She's traditional:

    Super old-school with very minimal decor. There is a huge wooden plaque stating the shop's name at the end of the small shop.
    百年招牌.老舖蛇王林.

    Other than two to three folding tables and a few chairs, the most striking feature about She Wong Lam are the old and solid looking wooden boxes:
    環境簡約.三張接抬.坐6-8人.我們坐在毒蛇櫃旁...

    When my colleague and I entered the shop, they assembled a table for us right next to the boxes
    很〔林〕善的蛇王.不介意影相.蛇王及婆婆即開箱.店員全部很有禮貌.

    which stated "Poisonous Snake".

    (She's really nice. I asked whether I could take a picture of the snakes. He opened the box for me immediately!)

    She's focused:

    The only cooked food product they sell is snake soup. One size: HK$45.

    So you don't need to speak Chinese or any language in fact. The moment you sit down, the friendly and quiet staff will give you a bowl of snake soup.

    She has substance:
    清雞湯為主的羹。比蛇王燊,二和芬都淡.有點金華火腿味。清香惹人討好。下點古月粉更惹味!

    The snake soup came after a short wait.

    The soup base was apparently made of double-boiling chicken soup and Chinese aged ham. It had a light and easy going aftertaste. You could add grounded white pepper, sesame oil, vinegar or a bit of soy sauce to enhance the taste if you wish.

    The soup at Se Wong Sun was most flavourful, then followed by Se Wong Ye and Ser Wong Fun. But this was not bad at all. My colleague really enjoyed it without adding anything.
    除薄脆及檸檬草外,抬頭亦有醋,豉油,古月粉和麻油.任君選擇,悉隨尊便.

    Adding the lemon grass and/or the crispy fried dough into the soup could also enhances its flavour.

    A lot of snake in the broth! Basically just snakes with just a bit of black fungi, which were very fresh and crunchy as well.
    蛇王二大的碗,但差不多整碗都是蛇肉!到喉兼到肺.

    The size of the bowl was similar to Se Wong Ye at Causeway Bay but packed with snake meat. Even higher snake content that Se Wong Ye and Se Wong Sun. Good value! smile

    The only thing to note is that by itself, it's not sufficient for lunch. Be prepared to have something else around the same street, which has tons of high quality Hong Kong eateries.

    She'll heal you:
    零售很多與蛇有關的產品.可問婆婆選取合適產品及用法.

    Other than snake broth. She also sells plenty of snake related products. Such as snake wine and other tonics for cough.

    The friendly old lady with an abacus will introduce the products to you and how to use those patiently. smile

    Instructions manual such as these are also available:

    My colleague had been suffering for a serious cough.

    He bought a cough tonic here and his health improved significantly!

    HK$17 for one tube of snake & herbal cough tonic.
    HK$188 for 12 tubes.
    久咳不瘉的同事真的一服見效!咪講笑.

    Supplementary Information:
    暫時在港島試了的蛇王總結如下:

    蛇王:份量不大但蛇碌真材實料.蛇腩炒飯亦很不錯.

    蛇王:雖有雞肉但蛇肉比例可以.潤腸套餐性價比高.環境企理.

    蛇王:獨沽一味五蛇羹的傳統老店.蛇王二的大小但全是蛇肉!

    蛇王:環境最好選擇最多,但蛇羹幾乎全部是雞肉,性價比極低.
