By     No comments:
Cheap does not mean inferior product quality, in the list of 10 countries which handbook of travel Lonely Planet voted for the most rewarding places to visit in 2015, the small country Singapore is ranked first.

Tips for cheap eating when traveling in Singapore

In recent years, the world's travelers visiting to Singapore is increasing. Besides the number of visitors following the tour groups, there are no few of self-designed trips with cost-saving.

The Lion island nation will celebrate the 50th National Day this year; this is the main reason for Lonely Planet ranked Singapore at the highest grade. Besides that, there are the architectural heritage is protected and preserved strictly with monumental and spectacular architecture newly built, the shopping center full of charm for tourists, the clean and green environment, and so on.

About food, Singapore has food and beverage centers in everywhere with all sorts of menus from east to west; they are very convenient and served very attentive visitors. Thanks to this the culinary center, Travelfish claim: you can eat three meals a day with only about 10 Singapore dollars (S $) equivalent to USD 8, a real pleasant expenditure in a country still is considered quite expensive.

Three meals with cheap price

People often say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so you just start a new day with a Singapore breakfast style that is full of calories, including a kaya bread (toast with plant margarine and jam made from coconut) and a cup of kopi (coffee mixed with milk).


Toasted bread kaya and a cup of kopi, a light breakfast


This quality breakfast is only about 2.5 S $ and are sold in almost all food centers or about S $ 3 in the cafe stores of Killiney Kopitiam, a brand which is familiar to natives.

If you love to light snacks in breakfast, just a cup of kopi or a cup of tea and a cake or a small dumpling costing about S $ 0.5-1.

After the morning outing, you can choose any food center to have lunch with dozens of choices but also have horizontal price with breakfast. The "chophouses" (Economic rice) sell rice dishes with cheap price as their names: 2-2.5 S $ for a rice section with meat or with vegetables (for vegetarians). Or you can choose the Chinese rice section with meat and sweet and sour sauce, tofu and fried vegetables.


Also very popular is the chicken rice; it is considered as the traditional dishes of Singapore. You can find the stores selling chicken rice - boiled chicken or grilled chicken - only 3 S $ to had a disk attached a cup of hot broth.

When carefully calculating the expenses for the trip, you still have about 4, 5 S $ for dinner. Whether this meager amount does not allow you to enjoy the local specialties such as crab chilli sauce or crab pepper sauce, but still help you feel full with a bowl of laksa or a plate of char kwayteow, also the traditional cuisine of Singaporean.
