Xiaolongbao are traditionally filled with soup and meat, but variations include seafood and vegetarian fillings, as well as other possibilities. Hm, interesting. I wonder if there is such a thing as Shrimp xiaolongbao... | ||

Locally in Shanghai and surroundings, they are more often known as xiaolong mantou (traditional Chinese: 小籠饅頭; simplified Chinese: 小笼馒头; pinyin: xiǎolóng mántóu, in shanghainese: Siolonmeudoe ). Mantou means both filled and unfilled buns in southern China, but only means unfilled buns in northern China. To avoid confusion, the name xiaolongbao is usually used in other areas. + Show Spoiler + Well at least now they'll know what the hell they are (picture isn't quite sufficient lol). | ||

More like a steamed bun with some meat in it. Xiaolongbao usually come bite sized with some soup inside if made well. If not, the soup will leak and basically it becomes less flavorful. That's simply my experience. Fuck, I'm hungry now. | ||

I've been eating them a lot over the last month since I've been in Hong Kong. In fact I'm going to a restaurant soon so I'll order some just to rub it in more.  | ||
