I live in north Nanshan and spend about that much per day on food and I am not very frugal and don't cook myself. If you want the cheapest food it would be about 15 rmb per meal or less, so 83 rmb per day is a very decent ration, unless you only eat western food of course.
- snaky 8y agoBy the way, is that '9 out 10 white people you see in factory districts speak Russian' true?
- gpetukhov 8y agoNot sure about "factory" districts, but overall there is a lot of Russians, Ukrainians and Serbs here.
- PakG1 8y agoIt's always personal preference how much you spend on food. But even cooking for yourself can be expensive. My wife bought a portion of shrimp to cook lunch, the shrimp alone cost 40 RMB, and that was from a local grocery (big shrimp admittedly). There are very few Chinese restaurants these days that charge only 15 RMB for a meal, depending on where you are in Shenzhen. Only hole in the wall shops, which are few and far between in most high tech parks. With waimai delivery, minimum cost 20 RMB for a nourishing meal, usually 30. Yes, life is feasible, I'm doing it. But my main contention is that someone with 7.5k take-home pay can party hard. Don't think so. Unless party hard means watching movies all night on one's phone. Even a high-quality pearl milk tea will cost 30 RMB. Most Chinese (not western) restaurants that my wife and I visit now and then have a final bill of 100 to 200 RMB.
