The Chinese Library has similar interior design as Cantina, the Italian restaurant on the same floor at Tai Kwun. Even the colour tone is the same. The offerings are delicate, with portions fit for ladies who have small appetite. Their restaurant week’s menu was nice, while male customers would need to add extra dishes in order to get full.The dimsum platter was nice.

The dimsum platter was nice.
We quite liked the appetizer, the kumquat and white wood ear with chilli and lime. Instead of Zhenjiang vinegar 鎮江醋, a black vinegar that is widely used in Chinese cuisine, lime juice was used, which made it very refreshing and the appetizer tasted more like a western salad.
For the main, since there’re two of us, we ordered one fish maw served with chicken broth/chicken liver sauce and
one BBQ pork loin glazed with New Zealand Manuka honey. Both were good, while the fish maw was so small. It’s only one small strip. We really liked the sauce.
The seasonal vegetables were in another yummy soup.
For the dessert, we picked one jasmine tea panna cotta and one tofu panna cotta. They were of the same white colour, and both with freeze dried strawberry crumbs sprinkled on them. They differed in their containers, which were of the same marble colour 😊. The jasmine tea panna cotta had strong tea flavour and was good. My friend said the tofu panna cotta was also nice.
It’s a very nice Chinese fine-dining lunch. Chinese tea was extra.
