Tatler Dining Guide - Hong Kong
MAN WAH
There are many restaurants located in the heart of Central with stunning views of the surrounding cityscape; but there are not many who combine a jawdropping vista with top-notch Chinese food. Man Wah, located on the 25th floor of the Mandarin Oriental hotel, is that rarity. Although there is dim sum on the weekends, they serve more than just Cantonese food. Notably, one of its signature dishes is a very crispy Peking duck; which can also be accompanied by an equally northern hot and sour soup. And whoever thought sweet and sour pork was just for foreigners have not tried Man Wah’s excellent rendition. Man Wah is also one of the few places in town that offers Peking ducks in half-orders, making it a must-try even for small parties. The ingredients are top-quality; the service anticipatory; and the wine list wide-ranging. Suffice to say, it is a must-visit for anyone new to Hong
Kong; as well as an old favourite for many locals.
