Hong Kong Cuisine｜Why Has This Restaurant Been Awarded a Michelin Star for 5 Consecutive Years?

Recently in Hong Kong, I visited the Michelin-starred restaurant [Man Ho Chinese Restaurant], which has held its star for five years. Nestled within the JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, the restaurant beautifully blends traditional Chinese charm with contemporary elegance. Gilded carvings and geometric lines complement each other, while morning glory-shaped glass pendant lights cascade down, casting a starry, shimmering glow. Every step inside reveals a picturesque scene, and the food is simply heart-stopping 💓 **"Man Ho Honey-Glazed Char Siu"** Tender pork loin coated in honey glaze, where caramelized aroma meets sweetness—like capturing Hong Kong’s culinary essence in a refined bite. **"Braised Baby Cuttlefish"** Stuffed with pickled vegetables, the deep, savory braising sauce lingers on the palate. **"Man Ho Signature 'Snake' Soup"** A creative twist—shredded duck, fish maw, and chicken simmered in a warming broth, achieving a snake-like texture 🐍 without using actual snake meat. **"Pan-Fried Fish Maw in Almond Cream"** Crispy fish maw enveloped in rich almond chicken broth—a clash of silkiness and depth. **"Ten-Month Gestation"** Inspired by the chef’s wife’s post-pregnancy ginger-infused pork trotters, this dish features braised pork belly, tendon, and quail eggs in a sweet, sour, and spicy glaze, reducing the richness of the trotters. **"Man Ho Abalone Lotus Leaf Rice"** South African abalone and diced chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, where floral fragrance elevates the delicacies—every bite is a revelation. **"Osmanthus Pearl Herbal Jelly"** "Pearls" filled with red beans and chestnuts burst in your mouth! Topped with osmanthus syrup, it’s refreshing and palate-cleansing. **"Mini Egg Tarts"** Petite, crispy, and velvety-smooth. Dessert is paired with a 1980 Maury sweet wine—soft tannins and intense flavor 🍷—perfectly balancing Hong Kong-style sweets for a flawless finish. **Man Ho Chinese Restaurant** 📍3/F, JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Admiralty 📌Reservations recommended at least one week in advance.
