The Chinese Library has stepped things up this Mid-Autumn Festival. For dinner, chef Junno Li has created four new dishes: braised taro with Hunan bacon, wok-fried king prawn with Chinese tea leaf, baked winter melon puff and the too-cute-to-eat bunny-shaped taro dumpling.

Also, nobody does brunch like Hongkongers—and The Chinese Library knows this only too well. So, the restaurant is offering a Mid-Autumn brunch with unlimited portions of dim sum, appetisers and dessert, with a choice of mains for sharing and an add-on free-flow package. What else does one need for a full-on celebration?
