Located on Lantau Island next to the Hong Kong International Airport, the SkyCity Marriott is more than your average airport hotel.  It is a destination with great culinary experiences awaiting the traveler looking for something out of the ordinary. Located on the mezzanine level with a view of the South China Sea, the Man Ho offers authentic dishes from the Pearl River Delta with a weekday special all-you-can-eat Dim Sum Luncheon.  From their wide selection of dim sum try their Pork and Shrimp Dumpling, Vegetarian Dumpling with Mushrooms and their Taro Root Dumpling.

New to the menu is their unique Seahorse Soup made with seahorse and the larger sea dragon which seems appropriate considering it is the Year of the Dragon.  The soup has a very light broth but the cute little seahorse floating in the soup can be a bit unnerving. It is a Chinese delicacy that is believed to be good for one’s health.

Chinese food should appeal to all the senses. The Man Ho’s Kurabuta BBQ pork loin, marinated and glazed with honey does just that.  The sliced pork is presented on either side of small hot black stones over which an au jus is poured creating a sizzling sound and a wonderful misty aroma. Needless to say, it tastes as good as it looks and smells. For more information check www.skycitymarriott.com.
