Imagine that for only Rp.5000 or $0.30 you can enjoy rice with side dishes to relieve your hunger.

Don't forget, "Nasi Padang" which costs only $0.6, is a food that unites the nation because we can enjoy delicious beef "rendang"  Cheesy

Nasi Padang is almost available throughout Indonesia, regardless of city. Where I live, Nasi Padang is considered a luxury food, for Nasi Padang with chicken side dishes the price is $1.5 per pack, if with rendang the price is around $2.
If you go to Lombok, Indonesia where the Moto GP event is always held here, please try Nasi Kaput. Nasi Kaput is very famous here with prices around $0.3 or Nasi Balap Puyung with side dishes of spicy chicken, soybeans and rice for only $0.6.

Expensive guys, at my place nasi Padang is sold per pack, chicken packages, rendang packages, catfish packages are sold for $0.6 or $0.8

  The situation in my country has become very  bad to the extent that the cost of food is no longer affordable with low amount of money. For example a bag of rice was 8000# at a certain time and now a bag of rice is now 55000# the difference in price is just to massive in just a few years.

Is the increase in rice prices in line with the increase in monthly salaries or minimum wages in your country? I think this is a significant price increase, from 8000 to 55000, can it be converted to USD?
