    I digg anything from Kylie Kwong. Will try it even as I have the reservation that the cabbage might taste raw as it is uncooked to serving.

    I think the cabbage wouldn't taste raw as it would have been marinating for 2 hrs in the salt and suger. As well you have the other ingredients which are added to it! Sounds yum
