Singapore
eating out can be cheaper.
As a rich nation where it's often cheaper to eat out, Singapore is a stark outlier. The city-state's famous open-air food courts, known as hawker centres, are treated as part of the national identity and recognised by UNESCO, so the government protects them through subsidised rents, grants and purpose-built complexes that drastically lower overheads.
Dense neighbourhoods and constant demand mean high turnover, fierce competition and little waste, keeping prices dramatically low. In fact, a plate of Hainanese chicken rice, the nation's most iconic hawker dish, can be picked up for just $0.79.
