I mean, I was given 250 food and 250 transport allowance... how much is the cost of living in KSA?

In the Philippines, a cup of rice is about 8php to 15php depending on the restaurant.

Any idea?

Dude, U have couple of specialized Pinoy restaurants in Batha. But till anyone else helps u , a non-veg rice combo meal costs abt SAR 8-12 here in an basic Indian restaurant.

Though I am sure u will definitely find something to ur needs as there are large number of Filipino's here and there are eateries for all budgets.

So that's like $9 American per week? Well, if you cook at home, mostly rice with a few in-season veggies thrown in, and you're NOT a big eater, possibly you could make it. But it sure won't be fun.
