The BudgetMealGoWhere website, launched by the Housing Board and the Government Technology Agency on Friday, allows residents to key in their postal code and look for cheaper meal and drink options within 2km of their location.
Users can also access it via the LifeSG app, a platform that consolidates digital government services and information.
These budget meal options include full meals that cost between $3 and $3.50, together with hot drink options priced at $1 to $1.15 on average. The meals are not set at specific prices, as stall operators are encouraged to offer meals at competitive prices to match those of other options in the vicinity.
In March 2023, Senior Minister of State for National Development Sim Ann announced in Parliament that all 374 HDB rental coffee shops, or roughly half of all eating houses situated in HDB estates across the island, will provide budget meal options by 2026.
