This is why I was referring to Street food with all the required hygiene and safety measures so that there will be more visitors but yes it won't be an easy thing and you need to plan and take approvals from the authorities and have good cook and staff.
That is right, you need to ask for a business permit and ask permit to operate from your health office. They will give you guidelines what to do to avoid problems and penalties.
In my country you would need at least 200k naira now to be able to start properly
I'm not sure how much money you'll need to start a street food business. Perhaps Php 50,000 and up, or $1,000, if it is a legitimate street food business with a location, sanitary permits, and so on. We have those on wheels, and I believe they are significantly less expensive.
The cost of setting up a street food business can vary widely depending on several factors, such as the type of food you want to serve, the location of your business, and the equipment you need to purchase. On average, the cost of starting a street food business can range anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000 or more. However, it is possible to start with a smaller budget by sourcing used equipment and keeping overhead costs low. Ultimately, the cost will depend on your specific circumstances and the scale of your business.
Should you desire to sell street foods because you're passionate of it, the cost of setting up is too small. I interviewed a street food seller, he told me his capital is only
3,000 pesos. I don't know how much this amount is equivalent to your money. In US dollar, it is equivalent to $65.

I think you don't need much to start a street food business. In my location, you need to apply for a license. Whether the street food business is profitable depends on the food you sell. Some of the most popular street foods in HK are Roasted sweet potato and chestnuts; Curry fishballs; Eggettes.
