What are those triangular baked pork buns called?
They are sometimes a bit yellow, often triangular, and the pastry dough is flaky and tender, and slightly sweet. Not the typical rounded baked buns made from a similar dough as steamed.... these guys are special.
Please help me! What are they called?!

I'm pretty sure it's just a type of cha siu bao, just like how the kind most people are familiar with (i.e. the kind they get when they eat dim sum) can either be baked or fried.
Cha siu bao is basically anything that contains cha siu in a pocket (bao) of dough, steamed or baked (sometimes fried, as well, though not that common).
Unless there's curried pork in them. Then they're just curry puffs,

re: yfunk3
cha siu bao is in dough...a yeast dough, either baked or steamed ... not flakey in texture.
If the picture linked by vanierstudent is the same as what the OP is looking for..it's a cha siu so, which are made from puff pastry (some sort of fat + flour, no yeast) that has been baked.
