HONG KONG: A famous Hong Kong snake meat restaurant, She Wong Yee, will shut its doors this month after more than three decades in business, as COVID-19 keeps customers away.

Located in the usually bustling Causeway Bay shopping district, the restaurant is best known for its long-simmered snake soup, which has been praised by the Michelin guide and is listed in its Bib Gourmand category for affordable dining.Restaurant manager Lo Cheong Hei said business started to drop after the Chinese New Year holidays in late January, as the number of coronavirus cases crept higher, and more Hong Kong people stopped going out.

"The food the restaurant serves is delicious," Wong said."There will be one less place we can eat this delicacy and that's a real pity.""Apart from my home, this is the place I am most attached to," Lo said.

Good to shut permanently. 🐍 are reptiles with high instinct. It’s a sin to consume them. Just like those who eat dog meat. Whoever consumed dog meat, once near any dogs, the dog can smell n will bark at that person instinctly! Pls try to eat more vegen to heal the world! 🙏

Alas, hopefully the famous ones in Taipei stay open.
