SINGAPORE: According to a survey by the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), hawker food remains affordable in April.
The survey focused on chicken nasi bryani, chicken rice, fishball noodles, roti prata, and mixed vegetables rice based on the cheapest single portion available.
611 stalls in non air-conditioned coffeeshops and hawker centres islandwide were surveyed.
The survey showed that 54 per cent of the stalls sold cooked food at S$2.50 or lower.
CASE encourages all stall owners to display the prices of food items prominently so that consumers can make informed choices.
