Dim sum: The Cantonese tradition of small steamed, fried and baked plates (dumplings, buns, rice rolls, ribs) eaten with tea, usually from mid-morning to early afternoon. Dishes are priced by plate size (small, medium, large, special), so a table of four can try a dozen things for the cost of two entrées. On this menu as: Dim Sum.
Xiao long bao: Shanghai-style "soup dumplings": a thin pleated wrapper around seasoned pork and a cube of gelatinized stock that melts into hot broth as it steams. Eat them from a spoon: bite a corner, sip the soup, then finish the dumpling with a little black vinegar and ginger. On this menu as: Shanghai Dumplings.
Sesame chicken: Crispy fried chicken in a sweet soy-and-honey glaze, showered with toasted sesame seeds. A close cousin of General Tso's without the chili heat, and the reliable choice for a table with kids. On this menu as: Hawaii Sesame Chicken.
