QUICK BITES
Book, flash cards help you solve tasty little Chinese mysteries
Advertiser Staff

Each page in the book, and card in the deck, features a photograph of a different type of dim sum, its name in Chinese characters, a Cantonese pronunciation guide and the name in English, along with a description of what's in it and how it's made.
The book is both helpful and fairly comprehensive. The cards (which are actual postcards) are more for fun.
Not all calories are nutritionally equal

And they are, in the sense that you see just how little food adds up to 100 calories (less than an ounce for most packs).
The question to ask is 100 calories of what? When 25 of the calories come from fat (as in the Wheat Thins), there might be better munchie choices. Such as: an apple (81 calories, half a gram of fat) or 4 pieces of rye crispbread (100 calories, no fat).
