Nestled inside the JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, Man Ho is a long-time stalwart of the city’s dim sum scene, offering delicate, handcrafted bites expertly prepared by Leung Wing-pan, dim sum chef of Man Ho Chinese Restaurant, and his team. At this one-Michelin-starred establishment, hungry Hongkongers tuck into mouth-watering morsels, seated inside a spacious dining room inspired by a serene Chinese garden. A palette of natural wood is interspersed with traditional flower and water motifs, evoking the grandeur of bygone banquet halls and providing an elegant backdrop to indulge in one of the city’s most beloved culinary rituals.

A seasoned industry veteran, chef Leung continues to push the boundaries of traditional dim sum, with classic and creative compositions rooted in local, seasonal ingredients and painstaking craftsmanship. Whether he is reviving heritage recipes or experimenting with contemporary flavours, he has proven to be a master of his craft.

Introducing new dim sum dishes just in time for summer, chef Leung invites families to savour the traditional repast, accompanied by an extensive menu of live seafood, braised and roasted meats and other Cantonese specialities.

New highlights include the steamed minced cod fish and shrimp dumplings, plump with fresh seafood; and the deep-fried sweetcorn pastries, a savoury-sweet delight stuffed with mushroom and duck breast. Deep-fried barbecued pork dumplings deliver a flavourful kick with a punchy peppercorn sauce, while the baked preserved meat pastries are tinged with smoke and spice.

Pair the dim sum with new additions to the à la carte menu, including the deep-fried shrimp mousse stuffed with foie gras, sea cucumber and South African dried abalone, all the ingredients meticulously chopped and prepared to deliver a uniform texture in every bite.
