Siu Mai

One of my favorite types of Dim Sum, for a long time, has been Siu Mai ("Shoe My").  With variations sometimes found, especially in grocery stores, the main item as I generally understand it is a cylindrical dumpling of pork and shrimp with a yellowish wrapper that covers the sides (crimped) and bottom (flat), often topped with crab roe or mushrooms as a garnish.  Yum!

Chinese name (per wikipedia): 燒賣
