Okay, Manapua I've had, and what you're describing sounds like the dim sum that's served in most chinese restaurants around here - they're like dumplings but with a thinner and lighter shell.

But that photo basically has little rolls *floating* in some liquid, presumably water.

Plus were they created with kung fu? If not then what's the point? We all know the secret to great buns is making the little yin yang in the flour.

If nobody on this whole board got that reference I was going to be very disappointed.

Actually, looking at the base and lid on that photo I think those rolls are in a steamer basket that is stackable. I don't see that they are floating.

Yea, or they'd be boiled or simmered, not steamed.

When I was a very young child my family knew a Chinese man at the church we attended.  On a couple of occasions he served us a dish he called "Chinese Hamburgers."  We moved cities when I was 7 and never saw this man again.  I never knew what it was he was serving, although I thought about it many times.  Many many years later I discovered dumplings and I thought I had found my "Chinses Hamburgers."  Still I wasn't completely convinced.  Thanks to Bobby, I have for certian found my "Chinese Hamburgers."  So for me, this is more than just a crazy food expidition, it's a chance to rediscover a lost piece of my childhood.  Greenland ho!!!

I want to underscore my ABSOLUTE SERIOUSNESS about this trip -- I am researching via Golfhaus whether I can get a discount on ticketry, but for now am planning on the Canada venue and will require the money in hand by end of 2005.

My aunt once made something kind of like moo shu pork, all in the wrappers that are remarkably like flour tortillas, and called them "Chinese hamburgers."

I'm sorry, but your Mother was wrong.  Moo Shu is Chinese Fajitas.
