From the creators of the crocodile ramen that triumphs in Taiwan, now comes the viral snake pizza in Hong Kong. The creators of this curious proposal are the famous Pizza Hut chain in collaboration with the centenary Hong Kong restaurant, Ser Wong Fun, which specializes in snakes. It is a twist on a traditional dish, giving it a modern touch with this peculiar ingredient that attracts so much attention in the West.
This pizza, which has already gone viral on social networks, is composed of shredded snake meat, combined with black mushrooms and Chinese dried ham, which are essential ingredients to prepare the authentic traditional Hong Kong snake stew. It is a typical recipe of the region, especially in the cold months.
That is why Pizza Hut wanted to generate excitement by transferring this characteristic stew to its pizza base. The chain stated in its press release that the snake meat combines perfectly with cheese and chicken, giving it a richer flavor. Another peculiarity of this pizza proposal is that it comes with abalone sauce instead of a typical tomato base. It will be on sale for a limited time only, although after its success, maybe they will keep the proposal.
