A simple meal depends on how simple you want it to be. It also depends on the region. If you are in the North District, eating noodles costs 1x or 2X dollars, while if you are in the Central District, not only the consumption in Macau is not higher than that in Hong Kong, but I think it is not cheaper in terms of food. Hong Kong is more expensive because of its large quantity. Macau is relatively cheap because of its small quantity, but the price has risen a lot recently. The quantity is small, but the price is similar to that of Hong Kong. Basically, Hong Kong dollars are accepted in many places in Macau, but 1 Macau has many gourmet restaurants, which are basically delicious and suitable for new immigrants.
