By Hedy Khoo

IF YOU have no glass slipper to win the hand of your Cinderella, try a slipper lobster.

No need to pay top dollar for a night of fairy-tale romance.
Sometimes, less could lead tomore.
Though the poorer cousin of the much-loved lobster, a slipper lobster is still one hard shell to crack.
Find its soft middle by laying it on the table belly up and work it with a knife.
You'll be uncovering a sweet succulent surprise in no time.
Give it a heated quickie in the wok and shower it with a myriad of savoury sauces.
You'll be smacking your lips and enjoying an evening with minimum effort.
Just remember to leave the last tail for the lady if you are gunning for a smouldering hot evening, unless you have a deathwish of ending dinner in a bed of ashes.
