It is a truth universally accepted that no self-respecting hotel in China is complete without a high-end restaurant serving Cantonese food to a warren of increasingly lavish private rooms. So it is with the newly-opened JW Marriott in Xuanwumen. Nevertheless, the JW Marriott’s Cantonese restaurant Man Ho manages to avoid the plush over-decoration favored by so many restaurants, instead sticking to clean lines and a rich red color palette, complemented by some eye-catching modern art pieces.
Like the restaurant décor, the presentation of the dishes in simple and homey, without the orchids and artistry that usually adorn plates in high-end Cantonese restaurants. In a way this is rather comforting, as it implies the chef has spent time actually cooking the food rather than carving flowers out of carrots. In practice, this simplicity translates better to some dishes than others.
