xiao long bao pork dumplings/Shanghai soup dumplings
at Shanghai Dumpling Shop in Millbrae
When eating soup-filled dumplings, let them cool for a few minutes then lift them with chopsticks or a spoon and bite off the knot on top.  Wait for the hot steam to escape, then suck out the broth.  Then add your condiments and eat in one bite.
See the video--how to eat Shanghai soup dumplings, filmed at Yank Sing in San Francisco.
