One dollar and ninety-nine cents does not buy a lot these days.
Now, however, one social enterprise is offering this knock-down price for a set meal of rice, an egg, vegetables, and meat or fish.
This budget meal which is at least 50 cents cheaper than the equivalent offered at most hawker stalls is an attempt to help low-income Singaporeans weather tough economic times.
It is being offered by NTUC Foodfare, which plans to open 120 stalls in hawker centres by 2015 that will serve up cheap but good-quality fare.
