<p>The moment we enter Man Ho Chinese Restaurant, a wash of calm elegance engulfs us, hushing any idle chatter. While this aura of refinement raises the tone of the dining room, we lower ours. The fountain near the entrance, decorated with lotus sculptures, is straight out of a classical Chinese garden. Quietly auspicious, it’s almost like it’s there to deliver a blessing before the first dim-sum rolls by.</p>

<p>Then the space opens up. Cue huge wood-framed moon gates, cloisonné panels depicting spring and autumn, and chandeliers constructed from thousands of morning-glory glasses cascading in tinted Champagne gold.</p>

<p>The fine-dining quality of the Cantonese food matches the theatrics. Jayson Tang, the JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong’s Executive Chinese Chef, says his philosophy is “refining the rustic, perfecting the delicate”. This is visible in everything the kitchen does – from the way ingredients are treated like royalty to how humble dim-sum concepts become dainty masterpieces without losing their soul.</p>

<p>“Each morning, I personally inspect all incoming produce [and] if anything falls short of our standards, I would rather remove the dish from the menu than compromise on quality,” notes the chef, explaining how this ethos controls the whole process, from start to finish.</p>

<p>First to arrive at our table is Steamed Minced Garoupa and Shrimp Dumpling, a goldfish-shaped marvel. It looks playful, but it doesn’t taste like a gimmick. The garoupa is marinated in homemade Japanese soy sauce, then carefully blended with mushrooms, scallion whites and sesame oil. When it’s wrapped in its starchy skin and hits the steamer, you get that clean, plush seafood sweetness – soft, fragrant and unmistakably Cantonese in spirit.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>Then comes the house signature Barbecued Pork using mui tau (pork collar) marinated in homemade honey sauce and roasted three times. The result is tender, succulent and deeply fragrant.</p>

<p>Sweet-savoury balance lands like a confident handshake. If you go for Shredded Duck Meat Soup with Shredded Fish Maw, Chicken and Fungus, a modern take on the winter-warming snake-soup tradition, you’ll understand why diners regularly return. It’s fragrant, layered and soothing without being boring. The shreds of duck meat, chicken, fish maw, mushrooms, bamboo pith and fungus create a broth that tastes composed, like every ingredient has its own job and shows up to work on time.</p>

<p>“Above all, a dish must first be exceptionally delicious,” says Chef Tang, describing how he tells the story of his cuisine through technique. Yes, narrative matters, but only if the flavour earns the right to speak.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>His seafood specialties, on the other hand, are fancy but also seriously engineered. Braised New Zealand Abalone is an example of patience becoming pleasure. It’s wild, sustainably caught, cleaned, braised for three days, then dry-braised with abalone sauce for smoky umami depth.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/4-JW-Marriott-Hotel-HK-Man-Ho-Baked-Whole-Dried-South-African-Abalone-Puff-1024x666.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91784" width="768" height="500" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/4-JW-Marriott-Hotel-HK-Man-Ho-Baked-Whole-Dried-South-African-Abalone-Puff-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/4-JW-Marriott-Hotel-HK-Man-Ho-Baked-Whole-Dried-South-African-Abalone-Puff-430x280.jpg 430w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/4-JW-Marriott-Hotel-HK-Man-Ho-Baked-Whole-Dried-South-African-Abalone-Puff-768x500.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/4-JW-Marriott-Hotel-HK-Man-Ho-Baked-Whole-Dried-South-African-Abalone-Puff-200x130.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/4-JW-Marriott-Hotel-HK-Man-Ho-Baked-Whole-Dried-South-African-Abalone-Puff-800x521.jpg 800w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/4-JW-Marriott-Hotel-HK-Man-Ho-Baked-Whole-Dried-South-African-Abalone-Puff.jpg 1180w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Baked Whole Dried South African Abalone</figcaption></figure></div>


<p>And then there’s Deep-Fried Fish Maw Stuffed with Shrimp Mousse in Chicken and Rice Stock with Caviar. Crispy outside, luxurious inside. The caviar’s briny pearls swim in a Chinese broth, giving you a warm, savoury hit that feels daring without tasting confused.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>Chef Tang explains his logic about integrating Western ingredients like caviar into Chinese technique: “Caviar is typically served chilled, but I chose to pair it with a hot Chinese rice-congee stock. The heat coaxes out the rich fish oils and intensifies the caviar’s umami notes.” That’s not luck – that’s culinary nerve.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Our final dish is Roasted Goose with Aged Dried Radish. The radish is aged in stages: three, 12 and 25 years, then stir-fried with shallots, preserved plums and tangerine peel. It tastes complex and naturally sweet in a way that makes you pause mid-conversation. That’s what timeless means at Man Ho.</p>

<p>The JW Marriott’s Chinese restaurant is Michelin-level for a reason: it’s not just refined. It’s consistent, it’s disciplined, and it treats flavour like a craft that deserves respect. You come for one dinner, then you catch yourself planning the next one before the bill arrives. And good luck leaving the table without ordering an extra something “just to try”. This place will make you try, and then make you addicted.</p>
