It pays to cook your own meals (Poll Inside)


A penny saved: Loke trying her hand at cooking tiger moon snails at home.

GEORGE TOWN: After discovering tiger moon snails in the market recently, self-employed Aiel Loke has a list of recipes in mind to try them with.

“They are smaller than escargot, but they are only RM20 per kilo. A dozen frozen escargots sell for around RM200, while half a dozen of canned escargots cost about RM90, so I am never buying those,” she said.
