Originally, I planned to name this comment as "Westernization of Chinese Dim Sums". I have then decided to give credit to my friend who came here with me, who is moving overseas for good and for a new page of life! She said she would definitely miss the Chinese food in Hong Kong when she is abroad. Asking her to name wherever she likes for farewell dinner, she chose "Dim Sum Library" - which is quasi-western when compared to the traditional Chinese restaurants in the vicinity. There is a bar
We just ordered hot water because we are afraid of insomnia after drinking tea at such late hours of the day!
As stated in my gourmet introduction, I love shrimp dumplings (i.e. Har Gau) a lot. As a first time diner here, I have no hesitation ordering one of their signature dishes, Truffle Har Gau!

HK$48 for 3 pieces, similar to other Chinese restaurants in Admiralty.
The skin of the dumpling is filled with truffles and the shrimp taste is imbedded with an after-taste.

The bun is small, yet it is contented with lobster meat and seafood sauce. You would not wish to miss the gem inside the rock.My friend said she loved all kinds of soft boiled eggs, like Japanese style and those smoked eggs in Shanghai style.

The foie gras are put on top of the eggs, with some sea salt placed at the side for diners' use.
Caviar on top of the foie gras. The dish is very fulfilling although the portion is not big.
Rice rolls are common dishes in Chinese restaurants, and the creativity of this shop is also demonstrated in this Crispy Rice Rolls with squid and the chinese ingredient (響鈴)

If you wish to eat something similar to spring rolls, this is an alternative for gourmets.While my friend is on diet, she declared not to eat any carbohydrates. I said I need some soup and carbohydrates in order to fill my stomach and not to crave for food in the middle of the night. I ordered the Udon soup in Rock fish soup, and she is responsible for drinking the soup!

The fish soup is milky in colour and my friend just cannot insist to taste a little bit of udon as well!There are many fish slices inside the udon and this dish is worth for value.We wish we could have a bigger stomach for the desserts. While we were too full, we hoped to come back again for desserts if my friend comes back to visit HK again!
Friendship worths more than the value of this meal indeed. Cheers!
