One of my favorite things to order at dim sum is wu gok, or fried taro dumplings. You can also get them at Chinese bakeries, but they get soggy and greasy. It's essential to eat these fresh to get the crisp crunch contrasting with the soft, creamy texture of the dumpling before the porky flavor of the filling hits the tongue.

I realize that all foods are time-sensitive, but I'm really asking about food that needs to be eaten just after cooking.

This isn't really relevant, but I remember my friend Peter once made some flapjacks and brought them along to a big gathering we were at, except they were kind of burnt. Almost nobody ate them except me and this other girl - we found the slightly burnt taste made the oddly hooking.
