It only feels affordable / cheap because we convert from SGD to MYR. My Malaysian relatives have said they actually think Singapore food is much more affordable. Example at a hawker; your salary is SGD2000 but a bowl of laksa only cost you $5~6, but if salary is MYR2000 and a bowl of laksa can cost up to RM9~12, that's expensive in the long run. 😥 (this just a comparison and my opinion using food, please don't come at me about other things like rental/petrol)
Exactly my point!! Johor prices increase a lot, local food is now 50-60% of SG prices despite the exchange rate. Exchange rate doesn't depict an accurate picture of the real purchasing power. Johoreans who dont work in SG are the ones suffering.
petrol is actually more expensive in MY compared to SG, when looking at the 97 and above grades. can't compare 95 and below because those are heavily subsidized by the MY govt.
Laksa is rm9? Woah at Selangor more specific in Shah Alam laksa are usually rm5-7 and rm9 if they are from a well known restaurant. Pretty expensive imo
@@jayzen76 it may be so but still, some Singaporeans still have the mindset of going to JB for petrol. even if it was just cheaper by that slight margin. I have a few coworkers whom always go to JB over the weekends just for petrol and food. Honestly sometimes I think it's people like them making business there increase their price to earn more. Then the real ones who suffer are the ones who live there but don't work in Singapore.
Hi Ghib San, it will be a real challenge if you challenge what can u get with RM100? That will help u gauge what the average Msian could afford. Using S$100, u already have the advantage of exchange rate S$1.00 = RM3.40
Yes, you should compare how much the locals can get with RM100 and S$100 in Malaysia and Singapore respectively. We can probably get more out of $100 compared to RM100 for food in the respective countries. In Singapore cars and housing is expensive but transport and food is still quite affordable. Cannot use tourist $ to compare 😃
Johor prices are increasing to a point where typical local food now cost around 50-60% of what ull pay in SG, despite the exchange rate. Mainly due to pandemic & more Johoreans who work in SG, thus pushing inflation rate when they spend their income back home.
If you going to touristy spot , Of course the cafe and restaurants charge you with more pricey charge but if you discover an eatery that might sounder under the touristy radar , its lesser pricey but not all of eatery will have a same case

Recap by Tammy AI
Actually if you are earning ringgit,their inflations is actually much higher. Even their subsidise petrol,is consider high for locals. See their a cup of coffee or tea price. You hardly get a 4 ringgit noodless or rice in their coffeeshop.
Great vlog ... will send it to my Japanese friend who may visit Melaka soon. It is only right as a person living in Singapore (yourself) to base your comparison on the currency you are using. There are many reasons why Malaysians think Singapore hawker food is cheaper. In fact, many times, the zapchaipeng is actually more affordable in sg than jb. In fact, jb folks working in sg are known to try to buy food back home. Have a good weekend.
Malaysia are no longer cheap anymore,just saw a video about durian in Malaysia is selling 98MYR per/kg= SGD 30++ by HK UA-camr, the same type of durian at my house just selling SGD 15 per/kg, and don’t forget Singapore durian was imported from Malaysia yet cheaper.
@@gumballdarwin2330 You are right,we are lucky that our currency is strong so still worth it to spend there You sounds like those rich and elite foreigners who come to Singapore to buy our properties and say its cheap lol
RM 9 for a chendo is overly expensive. Should be around RM5~RM6 only in KL. Also you miss the portuguese food only in Malacca. Tourist area are famous for it markup price.
@@Eelynntravelchannel their currency is weaker than Singapore but don’t mean will be cheaper,some yes but some are even more expensive than Singapore if you convert back to SGD.
Notice a lot of Hipster cafes in Melaka when we were there a week ago.... Next time try their pork satay.....the marinade is savory instead of sweet...only can find in Melaka
they have a lot of those instagrammable cafes before covid as well. Been there before and find them pricy/touristy (if you don't convert), food wise normal. Not sure if anything much has changed now. Felt that there wasn't much to see or do. Prefer Penang but then it's much further.
Have the food price in Melaka increase a lot after covid? It seems look expensive for every dish and cafe costs more than MYR$10 compared to past. I know its affordable for me if taking exchange rate *3.40 but will be difficult for the local there.
Things are way more expensive in Msia if we don't convert. I will always think of what SGD1 can buy vs RM1...Singaporeans and other tourists with stronger currencies will always say it's cheap..but it is expensive for the locals. Walking around their malls you see the displayed salaries of their restaurants hiring...you can roughly see their salary range vs SG.
@BoOmMaGuOpEeP hmmm really? I've not heard that. I have relatives in Msia and similarly things are getting expensive. Of cause there's two sides to a coin for everything. I do believe that some things are cheaper at each country.
If it's not cheap, Singaporeans would not queue up at the borders and stock up their goods before heading back to Singapore. Even with inflation, things are stay way cheaper compared to things in Singapore man
Contrary to popular belief, Johor food is slightly worse than SG except Ramly burgers, students/working adults in Johor coming from other states like Negeri Sembilan where REAL Msia food is made, will agree. Any kedai mamak, the curry is often diluted. U want ur roti canai to come with meat? You pay extra which cost 2-3x the canai. In SG, you get the meat automatically for free upon request. Dont bother comparing mamak food, except for Nasi Kandar which is good. Seafood? Great atmosphere, fresh, but literally only Yeos seafood is good. Even if there's hawker centers, most of the owners arent even doing the cooking. Malay food spammed with so much salt especially the ones at coffee shop & bazaar. But the food court food especially hotplate etc has been great. Btw my review is only for indian n malay food. Johor is a great place to shop n relax. But food? Go to Negeri Sembilan.
But for Chinese food, you can go to any random chicken rice, char kway teow or wanton mee stall in JB and it will at least taste decent. In SG, you'll have to make the extra effort to travel and queue just to get an OK meal. And let's be real, nobody's going to JB for Indian or Malay food. (Btw I'm Malay, just in case ppl think I'm being racist or sth)
My friends always tell me how Malaysian food tastes better than Singapore food, but when I go to JB to eat, I don't find the food tasty at all leh...As for chicken rice, when I was staying in JB, I actually missed the chicken rice in Singapore. I can go to any Chicken rice stall in SG, and I wouldn't be disappointed. it is more or less up to my expectations. Maybe it's just a matter of personal preference.
Every countries got nice & lousy foods too, i got ate lousy or so so foods in Malaysia too. If u living, working earning in Malaysia. Then u will know where is more expensive, that why so many Malaysians 🇲🇾working in SG🇸🇬 S$1=RM$3.4+.... 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Ghib, you should have done the price comparison for the same type of food. For instance, siew mai in Melaka cost S$1.40 whereas equivalent at famous dim sum eatery such as Geylang 126 costs around $4.
Hi Ghib, watching from japan now 😅, i stay near Shinjuku,, oh yah i alrdy use revolout Ghib, talking abt food so much nice food there, here we ate Gyukatsu motomura, wah so nice japan the food is cheaper than sing, even 2 L of water only 120 yen,, sgd 1$ 12 cent ,, さしぶり 日本 、oh one day i hope i can go to malaca,, thks for the vlog Ghib,, Hello from 日本🇯🇵 😅
Eating outside in Singapore doesn't worth with the inflation. The basic chicken rice become a scam. 40 grs of chicken with a bowl of rice they can reach 8 dollars.There is more cucumber in the plate than the chicken.
I guessed if you are earning a salary in SG, it feels like its more affordable in Malaysia but if they are earning a living in Malaysia, then the prices are a little bit too steep for them
Most of my Malaysian friends told me that if you compare apples to apples, Malaysia is more expensive. However, if you do a currency conversion, Singaporeans will all say that things in Malaysia's always cheaper. I don't think it's right to compare the 2 countries based on currency.

Malaysia is overated. It's nice if you're looking for a cheap getaway but try living there for an extended period of time. You get sick of it real fast. Everything is so far away and inconvenient. You'll definitely need a car to move around.
Please let me recommend you Sou Omakase at Gardens Mall, Mid Valley if you haven’t yet tried. You will be shocked at their standard and price tags with your Sing dollar.
honestly the challenge should be MYR 100.00 not Sgd100.00 due to the exchange rates . You can definitely stretch further due to that. If I take MYR100.00 to eat how you had eat in Malaysia it will not be possible. That is how I see it.
Hands down Malaysia wins: Better food, more diversity and at way more affordable prices. Plus the ambience, so many places, modern to vintage to instagramable to anything. I am a Dutch expat residing in KL with my Singaporean wife and the family comes over almost every 2 weekends to enjoy the food and shopping here. I never go to Singapore in return, why would I?
Singapore lang complaint that Msia not affordable for them🙄🙄$1=RM3.4...!! Reversed....Msia complaint Spore totally cannot go at all....🙄🙄🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Frankly, there r v few places which t truly v low-cost now. Was just watching a UA-camr 痒痒’s videos about his trips to Kazhakstan and Uzbekistan ~ the prices are on par with SG. Truly low-cost would be those village/countryside places but, they may not hv the mod cons Singaporeans are used to. We just have to accept that inflation has this global price-levelling effect.

SGD100 = MYR 340.. of cos u can do a lot in MY.. shud try to do it MYR100.00.. do not convert and see RM 100.00 can get you what..

RM 9 for cendol is a tad expensive,
You can't just compare the prices. Need to consider the country's standard of living and the average citizens' salaries.
