    Food budget

    Hi, I'm planning to come to Hong Kong on a 6 week work placement in June, and have to do a budget for food expenses. Please can anyone help me with weekly/daily food costs for:

    1. someone cooking for themselves; and
    2. someone living in a hotel and eating out (cheaply) every day?

    I don't have expensive tastes in food and will happily eat Cantonese food (my family's originally from HK). Thanks very much in advance for any responses.

    Rough estimates

    eating at home - food from wet markets/cheap supermarkets - HKD100 a day (max)
    eating at home - western food from premium supermarkets HKD300-400 a day
    eating out local food - HKD100-150 a day
    eating out western food HKD400-600 a day
