Plate of steamed rice rolls (ji cheung fun) drizzled with hoisin, sesame and chili sauce and topped with scallions at Rubato HK Cafe in Quincy

Bao: Soft, slightly sweet steamed yeast buns. Filled versions (baozi) hold barbecued pork (char siu bao), vegetables, custard or red bean; baked char siu bao has a glossy golden crust instead. Unfilled folded buns (gua bao, "lotus leaf buns") come with braised pork belly or Peking duck to stuff at the table. On this menu as: Baos (Stuffed Fluffy Steamed Buns) · Cha Siu Bao · Beef Brisket Bao.
Congee: Rice simmered in a large volume of water or stock until it breaks down into a thick, savory porridge. Served plain with pickles and fried crullers, or with sliced fish, preserved egg and pork, or chicken stirred in. A breakfast, late-night and sick-day staple. On this menu as: Congee · Plain Congee · Rubato Sampan Congee.
Rice noodle rolls: Sheets of freshly steamed rice batter rolled around shrimp, beef, char siu or a fried cruller, then sliced and dressed with a sweetened soy sauce. Slippery, soft and mild, it is a dim sum staple that is also sold plain from street carts. On this menu as: Ji Cheung Fun (Steamed Rice Rolls).
Char siu: Cantonese barbecued pork: strips of shoulder or belly marinated in hoisin, honey, soy and five-spice, roasted until the edges char and lacquer red. Sliced over rice, folded into buns, or hung in the window with roast duck and soy chicken. On this menu as: Cha Siu Bao · Cha Siu Bolo.
Salt-and-pepper: A Cantonese fry technique: squid, shrimp, pork chops or tofu dusted in starch, deep-fried, then tossed in a hot wok with salt, white pepper, garlic, scallion and sliced fresh chili. Light, crisp and only mildly hot. On this menu as: Salt + Pepper Chicken · Salt + Pepper Cauliflower.
Bubble tea: Taiwanese sweetened tea (black, green, or milk-based) shaken with ice and poured over chewy tapioca pearls ("boba"), sipped through a wide straw. Sugar and ice levels are usually adjustable. On this menu as: Hong Kong Milk Tea.
