If "when i keep any menu field empty" means that the row in database has NULL or '' value then just do not select such rows, ie to exclude rows where menu field is empty add (menu <> '')AND(menu IS NOT NULL) to your query's WHERE clause. So your SQL would be

SELECT id, menu FROM myTable WHERE(showing='1')AND(menu <> '')AND(menu IS NOT NULL) ORDER BY id ASC

Althought it would probably be better not to save such (invalid?) rows into database at all.

check if it has any data

$hormenu = $row["menu"];
if($hormenu){
    $menu .='<li><a href="mypage.php?id='.$id.'">'. $hormenu .'</a></li>';
}

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) { 
    if (!empty($row["menu"]))
        $menu .='<li><a href="mypage.php?id='.$row["id"].'">'. $row["menu"] .'</a></li>';
}
