What Does Singapore Cost?
Singapore is a city of contrasts when it comes to budget: You can eat a Michelin-starred dish for 3 SGD (Hawker Chan's Soya Sauce Chicken Rice) or spend 500 SGD on a dinner at Restaurant André. Hotels are expensive, food is cheap, transport is inexpensive, alcohol is very expensive. The art lies in the mix.
