In the place around me lives, there are several restaurants that serve food at low prices. The saving package offered depends on the menu ordered. Only at a price of Rp 25k or equivalent to $1.64, You can enjoy rice with meat on it + vegetables and cold drinks.
This figure is fairly cheap for this delicious menu, while in public places such as roadside traders offer more affordable prices for breakfast.
Probably roadside cafes can offer a lower price since they do not need to provide you with a place: a table and an armchair. Plus they don't need to provide you with a toilet and sinks to wash your hands. Nevertheless, I am surprised at such cheap prices in your countries. In my country, a plate of side dish with meat in a restaurant or cafe will cost at least 3-5 dollars.
We can't expect a luxury food service out of a small penny but we can grab it as a chance to save but people in our country are wiser. They would prefer cooking at home with cheap yet healthy ingredients just so more people could eat. Eating out at cheap restaurants will be ideal if you are living alone but if you have a family, it will be cheaper if you will just cook at home using your own budget.
I do not dispute that cooking at home is the cheapest way to get the cheapest and most delicious food. But! Wholesale supplies are available to restaurants and cafes, according to which they receive products at prices cheaper than the store provides us with you. Also, one of the disadvantages of cooking yourself is that you spend time cooking and washing dishes.
Although it takes time to cook for yourself, but in return, you can cook the food you like, and the more important thing that I want to cook for myself is the hygiene and quality of the food. I used to work as a waiter at a 3-star restaurant when I was a student, to be honest, a 3-star restaurant but the quality and hygiene were inferior.
Do you believe there are foods they prepare and keep in the fridge for a month, and when we were about to throw them away, someone ordered them? We prepare it and bring it to our customers to eat, what surprises us is that the customers say the food is delicious. There are many hidden corners in the culinary industry that diners will never see. The restaurant is still so unhygienic, what about the food in popular restaurants?
