Singapore is famous for its high cost of living. But you don’t need to worry too much, there are some tips that can be done so that our vacation is still cheap. There are many cheap hotels in Singapore that are suitable for your pocket.

Another biggest accommodation part you need to prepare is food and transportation. Singapore has well-integrated transportation service. You can take the MRT or bus which serves almost all routes around the city.

As for eating, you also don’t need to worry. You can find hawker stalls located around Singapore. The price of the food here is very affordable and delicious. If you have watched a movie called Crazy Rich Asians, you will know that the Singapore Hawker Stall is actually tasty. Some of the stalls even won the Michelin title.

Halal Food in Singapore

For Muslim travellers, finding halal food is quite challenging. Especially if the country we love to visit is not a Muslim country. Here are some recommendations for the halal food you can enjoy while traveling in Singapore:

1. Selera Rasa Nasi Briyani

The stall is located near Dakota MRT Station. Prepare at least 3.5$ to get mouthwatering halal briyani rice. It opens from 10.00 a.m until 13.00 and closes on Saturday and Sunday.

The briyani rice is flavorful with thick spices. You can combine it with lamb, fried chicken, or fish. To be able to taste the briyani rice here, come when the shop has just opened. A little late, you might run out!

2. Pita Bakery
   Here, you should try to order the pita sandwich with falafel filling (a type of cake made from peanut dough), assorted vegetables, and hummus. The ingredients used here are all fresh.

They prepared the meals using family recipes that have been passed down for more than a decade! So don’t be surprised if this shop is always busy. This can also be an option for you who are vegan, you know.

It will be easier if you can get hotel voucher and choose to stay around Arab Street and Little India. Those places are full of Muslim and halal food sellers.
