I'm Chinese by race. :) Chinese steamed buns are one of the chinese delicacies! Try them all if you can! You can also try Salted Egg Bun / Liu Sha Bao (i prefer the baked version, but steamed ones are still nice) & Steamed Pork Bun / Char Siu Bao if you have nothing against eating eggs and pork.
Wow... Actually I'm not so addicted with Chinese food so I'm totally an idiot of it. Sorry for that I can't give any actual suggestions. But the traditional Shanghai food is Xiaolongbao and Huntun as mentioned above by FBI Light Rock, and it's a must-try! Btw you seem to know much more than me FBI Light Rock!
My relatives are tradditional so we ate at a lot of chinese restaurants. Din Tai Fung, Imperial Treasures, Crystal Jade, Jumbo Seafood, Long Beach, etc. Now not so much anymore.
I was finding the street store that sells 10 piping hot steamed soup dumplings at a really cheap price, in a plastic cuboid container, but couldn't find it. Went to Shanghai once before.
Oh, be careful of eating their steamed fish, lots of tiny fine bones. Plus you might want to try their roasted suckling pig & pecking duck. The last 2 will cost a bomb though. :P
