When it comes to Asia, Singapore is not the most budget-friendly travel destination. So, many a time, tourists try to come up with creative, cost-effective itineraries to stretch their dollar. One example is Eoin and Aisling, a couple who hail from Ireland and started their backpacking adventures in September 2021.

"Singapore is known as a pretty expensive country to try and travel and today, we're going to put that to the test," Eoin said at the start of the almost-13-minute clip. "You can pick up clothes, souvenirs, food, drinks and a wee bit of everything else in between," said Aisling.The sheer amount of food options left them spoilt for choice for around 20 minutes but they eventually settled for a plate of economy rice, chicken cutlet kolo mee and ice kopi. This set them back by US$7.75.

"Every time we come to Singapore we love to check out that area. There's always so much going on as well," said Aisling. As they were unable to resist the sweet treat, they bought a mint chocolate chip wafer ice cream for US$1.10.
