The cost of eating out in Singapore is likely to continue to rise relative to individual and household incomes in the future, according to an Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) report on food prices here released on Monday. The researchers came to this conclusion after...
Comparing the data collected over the two time periods, the researchers found that most stall owners did not increase their prices, while a majority of those who did did so by only a small margin.
Drinks and chicken chop were found to be cheaper in the central region. The breakfast set – comprising kaya toast, two soft-boiled eggs and coffee or tea – and fishball noodles were found to be cheapest in the north, while prata was found to be cheaper in the west. Looking at meals – comprising a drink and a main food dish – on average, breakfast was the cheapest meal at $4.81, followed by lunch at $6.01 and then dinner at $6.20.
The team attributed this to some degree to an increasing number of stalls that are no longer selling traditional offerings, or which sell commonly found dishes like chicken rice with a pricier twist, indicating dynamism and innovation in local food culture.
