Honolulu, with its large Asian population and strong ties to the East, is a good place to sample dim sum dishes. Whether you like them or not, you can't help but be awed by the artistry and ingenuity of the preparation. These translucent dumplings, usually made from rice flour wrapped around a tasty morsel of fish, chopped meat or vegetables, are like chocolates except you don't have to guess what's inside. The skin of rice flour is so clear that the ingredients can be clearly seen.
Considered snacks to eat with tea, an assortment of three or four baskets will be enough to satisfy most appetites. Dim sum is usually served in bamboo baskets containing three or four dumplings. It's inexpensive, an exotic treat and low in calories, which means you can sit for a long, long time munching and drinking tea.
