Hm, I'm not a foreigner so I might not be the best person to talk to with regards to hotel fees (there are some popular, centrally located boutique hotels with reasonable prices but I'm not too familiar with those.)
In terms of transportation I'd say our public transport is reasonably priced if compared to the likes of Tokyo or Melbourne. I don't really do private hires here (Uber/Grab), but I'd say our cabs are also very reasonably priced. 20SGD ought to cover you for most cab rides during standard hours, but during peak hours cab fares might be bumped up to 25-35SGD. I'd strongly recommend downloading the ComfortDelGro taxi app, there's a flat fare option which could save a couple dollars during peak hour traffic.
As for food I'd say cheap, decent food can be found almost everywhere, such as street/hawker food. There are some reasonably priced restaurants and bistros around, but fine dining is mostly pretty expensive, barring a few exceptions. Maybe you could drop me a PM if you'd ever like some restaurant recommendations. Overall I'd say Singapore's food is slightly cheaper than that found in HK.
As for punting, Singapore is pretty expensive if compared to Thailand/HK. Massage parlors with mediocre service charge 100SGD for a HJ, I haven't been to Geylang yet but I hear it can go up to 150SGD for a pop.
Sorry for the long response and I hope that answered your question
