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: Soup Dumplings · Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings).
Dim sum: The Cantonese tradition of small steamed, fried and baked plates (dumplings, buns, rice rolls, ribs) eaten with tea, traditionally as a brunch running from early morning to mid-afternoon. Plates of three or four pieces are shared family-style, so a table can try a wide range; many restaurants serve them from carts, and now also at dinner and for takeout. On this menu as: Dim Sum & More.
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: Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings) · Dessert Bao.
