Obligatory, this happened last night not today.

So my family and I took a trip to Las Vegas for a family member’s wedding. We haven’t eaten a full meal all day so we decided to go to a Chinese restaurant that we have been to before and really enjoy. One of the items we order was a pan fried soup dumpling (Sheng Jian) because we generally like the traditional soup dumpling (Xiao Long Bao), but this one was in a bun and pan fried. My mom described it as the filling of the Xiao Long Bao, just in a bun instead. Now for those that don’t know, Xiao Long Bao is normal piping hot, and the right way to eat it is to put in on a spoon, poke a hole to let the soup out, then eat it after it cools a bit.

A couple minutes go by and out food is delivered, this is when the FU occurrs. I forgot that the Sheng Jian had soup in it, I assumed that it was just the meat inside and maybe the soup was absorbed by the bun. Boy was I wrong. I bit into the bun, it squirt its hot juice straight up into my nose and burned my nostril and upper lip. So now, here I am, the inside of my nostril is peeling and raw, new skin is starting to heal but is making my skin tight and it hurts to move and breathe. I should have known, and I have paid the price.

TL;DR I bit into a hot soup dumpling, and burned my nostril and upper lip.
