Chinese have been enjoying Xang Choi Bao (sang-choi-bao) for generations. Xang Choi means lettuce, Bao means parcel.

The shaped-outer leaves of ice lettuce are used to hold minced fillings consisting pork or diced roast pork (Char Siew), diced Chinese sausage, diced water chestnut, etc.

NOTE
I have many comments published by the same newspaper, except this comment - three times unsuccessful. I wonder why!
