I don't understand the reason, fully, but eating dim sum outdoors (particularly when coupled with a view) is a completely different experience, and it's amazing. That Cha Xiu Bao right there set records.
Step 1: Pick up a large pink box of goods from Good Luck, the new favorite Clement St. gem. No illustrated instructions here, but the English menu is very clear and pointing at trays that look particularly tasty usually turns out well. Shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork dumplings, chive dumplings, turnip cakes, and even the less-typical potstickers are all excellent. Don't forget napkins, chopsticks and chili sauce.
Step 2: Drive/bike/jog across the bridge (the big red one) and enjoy the built-in delay between purchase and arrival. Be careful not to taste anything prematurely. Yes, it smells good, but you're almost there.
Step 3: Arrive approximately here, or really anywhere suited to sitting, eating, and viewing, but that particular stone wall has been tested and is ideal for this activity.
Step 4: Enjoy the cool breeze (but not too cool. choose day, season wisely).
Step 5: Appreciate fluffly cloud-like bun dough when juxtaposed against actual fluffy clouds.
Step 6: Enjoy breakfast audibly, and enjoy even more the longing glances from hungry nearby tourists.

Non-Californians with access to a Cantonese restaurant and a place without walls (a bridge view isn't required but is certainly a bonus) adapt as necessary.
