Cost of the ingredients in my food
2 stalks of Chye Sim - 2/5 x 85 cents= 34 cents
1/2 packet of bean sprouts - 1/2 x $1 = 50 cents
1 large onion - $3/25 = 12 cents
6 small peeled garlic - $4/100 = 40 cents
8 medium prawns - $2
1/2 tofu - 1/2 x 80 cents = 40 cents
Kway Teow - $1.10
2 stalks of spring onion - 2/5 of $1 = 40 cents
1/4 cabbage - 1/4 x 1.20 = 30 cents
Spice paste - $1.20
1/4 tomato - $1.20/100 = 1 cent (rounded off)
1 red chilli - 1 cent
1 green chilli - 1 cent
Total cost: $6.80
I have not gone past the budget and while purchasing the ingredients, I realised that when I cook my own food, it is cheaper and I can choose to add my own ingredients. Thus, it makes my food tastier and healthier. But if I were to buy a Kway Teow, it would approximately be $8. Through this exercise, I learnt that we should cook more of our own food than eat takeout food.
