The best cheap eats around the world

No matter where in the world you're headed, we bet you're looking forward to a delicious meal or two. And many of the dishes easiest on the pocket are the tastiest on the tastebuds too.
From noodles served up at street markets in Bangkok to bubbling pizza eaten in pocket-sized Roman restaurants, here’s our pick of the tastiest cheap eats around the world.
Japan is renowned for being expensive – but it's possible to get great-tasting food without burning a hole in your pocket.
Chains such as Yo Sushi are relatively dear in the rest of the world, but Japan’s kaiten-zushi restaurants (literally meaning “rotation sushi”) are some of the best – and most economical – places to dine out in the country.
In many spots, dishes arrive for as little as 100¥ each. Just take your pick and stack your plates at the end of the meal.

Indonesia’s popular stir-fried rice, nasi goreng, is cooked before your eyes at mobile stalls (kaki lima) and night markets across the country. Warung restaurants also dole it out cheap as anything.
The fried rice, mixed with shreds of meat and vegetables and topped with a fried egg, is a filling way to fuel up before a day spent exploring.

The charmingly named bunny chow has an interesting history that has its roots in the Great Depression. At the time, a dried sugar-bean curry made by an Indian caste known as “Bania” happened to be the cheapest meal in Durban.
When the curry became popular with workers looking for a bargain lunch, it started being served in hollowed-out bread as a waste-free, on-the-go meal. As Chinese food was known as “chow”, the two combined and, somehow, the name stuck.
Once a staple of the working classes, fish and chips can still be found the length and breadth of England, and remains one of the country’s best-value meals.
There’s no better antidote to a cold, rainy walk than a steaming portion of fish and chips from the local chippy – park yourself on a bench by the sea and gorge on thick batter, flaky fish and chunky chips doused in salt and vinegar. And don’t forget the mushy peas.

One of the very best ways to enjoy India’s delectable curries is with a thali. These platters tend to contain three different curries, plus a couple of other additions such as raita or curds (yogurt), pickles, or a sweet treat like gulab jamun – and invariably both rice and chapatti.
Not only does this mean that you get to try three curries in one, they’re often a steal, sometimes costing just 100Rs.
