PETALING JAYA: With rising food costs, parents with schoolgoing children claim to notice smaller portions of food being sold at school canteens despite some of the operators having raised their prices.

Many parents have now made it a priority to prepare homemade food for their children to bring to school in order to provide them enough nutrition, as well as to save on daily expenses.
