There wasn't any palatable snake soup in Metro Vancouver,
not the traditional 5 varieties of snakes, the accompaniment are
poor quality: the chrysanthemum is not good, nobody bother to make
the crispy chips apart from wonton skin. The soul of snake soup is the
snake bones, well, anyone seen snake bones being used here? Just
regular broth. I was told that some restaurants were using sea eels to
imitate snake meat. I like eels very much, but they have nothing to do
with snake soup. I think the best mean to savor snake soup is to take
a trip to HK in Winter.
I can't stand the taste of snake. I tried it at a small snake place in MaOnShang (Hong Kong). The soup tasted like I was munching on a snake... I only had 1 spoonful and had to give up.
