Man Ho Chinese Restaurant Joins Hands with Hugo Leung (To To) to Elevate Local Classics

At a time when Cantonese cuisine continues to evolve, Man Ho Chinese Restaurant at JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong takes a more considered approach — looking back rather than forward.

The restaurant has partnered with veteran gastronome Hugo Leung Man-To (To To) for a four-hands collaboration alongside Executive Chinese Chef Jayson Tang. The result is a menu that revisits familiar Hong Kong flavours, but with a more refined lens.

The idea isn’t to reinvent, but to elevate — a philosophy long associated with Cantonese cooking, where technique often matters more than transformation. Here, everyday dishes are approached with a level of detail that shifts them slightly away from their casual roots, without losing their identity.

Chef Leung’s influence is evident in the selection. Known for his deep understanding of local food culture, he has built a reputation on preserving tradition while refining execution. Chef Tang, equally grounded in Hong Kong’s culinary heritage, brings a contemporary precision that complements the collaboration.

Among the highlights is the “Tor Dei Char Siu with Lard Rice” (HK$328), a dish that leans into nostalgia. The pork belly, layered with alternating fat and lean meat, is carefully marinated — including the use of green papaya to tenderise the texture — before being roasted to achieve that balance of caramelisation and softness.

A tasting menu spotlighting the co-created dishes will be served at Man Ho Chinese Restaurant exclusively during dinner on 9 June 2026, priced at HK$1,888 per guest (minimum two guests). The dishes will also be available on the à la carte menu at Man Ho from 10 June to 31 July 2026.
