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 the coronavirus 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 says business started to drop after the Lunar New Year holidays in late January, as the number of coronavirus cases crept higher, and more Hong Kong people stopped going out.The restaurant was now losing up to HK$200,000 a month after paying rent and salaries and buying ingredients.
Hong Kong’s economy, already facing its first recession in a decade due to the US-China trade war and months of often violent anti-government protests, has been dealt a huge blow by the coronavirus.Many shops, bars and restaurants have been forced to close, at least temporarily, including the Jumbo Floating Restaurant featured in a James Bond movie and indie club Hidden Agenda: This Town Needs.“The food the restaurant served is delicious,” Wong said.
it should've be closed forever.
