It's "bun" shaped, but it's a dumpling type skin, preferably a fairly
thin one, and there is some "soup" at the top (the "soup" is more or less pork gelatin, as I understand it). Not a bun as most people in the US imagine it (a raised dough, bready type thing). Nope. XiaoLongBao is made from bread; like the same bread that is made from flour and just like ManTou . The true xiaolongbao is made with bread, not dumpling skin. The Cantonese have adapted it for their dimsum made with dumpling skin, but the original is flour based.

CEDICT shows the dragon character. WIKI shows the basket character.
I'm going to the store today to pick up some roasted vegetable dumplings. I'm sure I've seen these also. If so I'll check those characters else double check with the Internet.
