Cai Png With 1 Veggie & 2 Meat Dishes Apparently Costs S$18 In Sydney

In Singapore, economic rice is the, well, economical option for pretty much any meal of the day. Also colloquially known as cai png, it usually consists of rice and a selection of vegetables and meat you can choose from for a reasonable price.

Typically, a plate of cai png will only set you back a single-digit sum in the heartlands.

However, you might be shocked at how much the humble meal costs in Australia.

That was what a TikTok user realised on his recent trip to Sydney. On the video-sharing platform, he shared that he had purchased a packet of cai png that was S$18.30. This is several times more than what you would usually pay for cai png in Singapore.
