Not trying to be mean but if coming from Msia need change to SGD that is 3+ MYR to 1 SGD which means must change a lot MYR. Unless come Spore to work and not to spend then different story. But of cuz got relatives in Spore is ok
If he comes just to open bank account, can explore food options near fringe of CBD like Toa Payoh, Redhill/Tiong Bahru, Maxwell/Newton or the nice bun at Westlake (Farrer Road).
Further west would be West Coast market and Bukit Panjang hawker center.
If got more people e.g. come with family then have more choices.
Change MYR to SGD is unavoidable. Best travel option is to fly to JB then travel to SG by causeway, round trip Air Asia cost +/- 100 MYR only (or even less, e.g. 50-60 ish).
Avoid using Grab/taxi, make good use of MRT/buses, plan your journey in advance.
Anyway hawker food 3-4 SGD isn't too expensive compared to KL/Penang standard even after the 3.12 SGD/MYR conversion rate.
