Most of the Colony's patrons
:32:16
are internationally famous
gourmets, politicians,
:32:20
diplomats, tycoons,
church leaders,
:32:23
aristocrats, et cetera,
et cetera.
:32:26
Here, a light breakfast
costs about $20.00,
:32:29
about 1 2,000 liras.
:32:30
But, considering the exceptional
rarity and taste of the food,
:32:34
the price is usually
thought to be fair.
:33:09
To open a store like this
in Singapore,
:33:11
where snake is the national
dish, is always a hassle.
:33:14
Malaysian customers are very
picky and before they decide
:33:18
what to buy, they always
choose meticulously.
:33:21
ln order to really be edible,
snakes must have innumerable
:33:24
prerogatives: weight, length,
color, age, skin conditions,
:33:29
a particular season for each
race, et cetera, et cetera.
:33:33
The Malaysians,
who know them all,
:33:35
once they choose their snakes,
:33:37
don't lose track
of them for a moment.
