If only I could enter my computer and have some of these delicious looking xiao long bao to settle my cravings. That’s will be great. 
Thank you for another great post, @user_not_found ! Where did you order them? Is it from the same place - Tang Gourmet Dim Sum Restaurant?
@KlaudiyaG yeah, from the same place. This restaurant is famous in Milan for their handmade dumplings. It is mainly specialized in various kinds of Chinese noodles, dumplings and “bao” and they hand-make most of them.

I can only imagine how much time and devotion these dumplings are taking, but they sure look good. I would love to try them. Thank you so much for your reply, @user_not_found .!
@KlaudiyaG when you enter the restaurant you will see the kitchen with windows, like in many similar restaurants you can find in China: there are stacks of steamers and they prepare them in stocks, so that when you order them, they arrive almost immediately. I think they start since the morning making them.
