Xiao long bao are dumpling-like stuffed buns originating in Shanghai. The name literally means ''little basket buns'' - not ''little dragon buns'' which I originally thought because dragons and basket sound just alike. Also the character for basket is 笼 (籠 in traditional Chinese) which is exactly like the character for dragon except with an added grass radical. Train of thought... But I digress. Bottom line, these are delicious. Eat some.
