Modern Cantonese: Those mourning the loss of Mrs Pound at the end of 2019 can look to Mr Ming’s Chinese Dining this year. Brought to us by Ming Fat House, which opened the much-loved chop shop-inspired space in Sheung Wan and speakeasy Foxglove in Central, Mr Ming’s focuses on contemporary Cantonese fare. 

Look & Feel: Much like its sister establishments, the restaurant is named after fantastical character. The story goes that Mr Ming, whose family traces its lineage back to the Qing dynasty, boasts a grandfather who has a book of classic Cantonese dishes. The space features Chinese art and decorations, including a funky coin collection. 

On the Menu: Mr Ming’s prides itself on offering traditional recipes without artificial ingredients or preservatives. Dim sum dishes with a modern take include milk and pumpkin buns and BBQ pork belly buns with pickled mustard. Then there are great dishes for sharing, like Peking duck, and char siu made with fat-marbled Iberico pork.

Great For: Surprising your traditional Chinese family with a funky, yet authentic Cantonese dining experience.
