Students looking for an affordable meal in Singapore have another reason to make their weekday afternoons a little more exciting. Great Nanyang has introduced a Student Weekday Special that brings a substantial Chicken Cutlet Set down to just $9.90++, making it a tempting option for students who want a proper meal without spending too much.
The promotion is available from 5 October 2026 onwards at selected Great Nanyang outlets at Geneo and Hillion Mall. It runs from Monday to Friday between 2pm and 5pm, so it is particularly useful for students looking for a late lunch, an early dinner, or simply something satisfying after classes.
For those who have tried Hainanese-style chicken cutlet before, this deal should be especially interesting. Instead of offering just one standard flavour, Great Nanyang allows students to choose from five different Signature Hainanese Chicken Cutlet options. Each set also comes with a complimentary Iced Lemon Tea, giving diners a complete meal and drink combination for $9.90++.
Considering the usual price is $20.90++, the promotion represents a sizeable saving. For students who regularly have to keep an eye on their food budget, that difference can certainly make an afternoon meal more manageable.
A Chicken Cutlet Set for Just $9.90++
The highlight of the promotion is, of course, the Signature Hainanese Chicken Cutlet. The regular price of the set is $20.90++, but eligible students can enjoy it at only $9.90++ during the promotional period.
That means diners can sit down to a proper chicken cutlet meal rather than settling for a quick snack simply because they are trying to save money.
There are five flavours to choose from, which also makes the promotion more appealing for students visiting with friends. The available choices include Golden Salted Egg Yolk, Kampong Black Pepper, Old-School Mushroom Gravy, Refreshing Orange and Spicy Mongolian Fusion.
Each flavour brings something different to the table.
The Golden Salted Egg Yolk option is a good choice for those who enjoy rich, savoury flavours with the familiar salted egg yolk taste. Kampong Black Pepper is more suitable for diners who prefer a peppery kick, while Old-School Mushroom Gravy offers a more traditional comfort-food experience.
For something a little different, the Refreshing Orange option provides a sweeter and brighter flavour profile. Those who like their meals with more heat can consider the Spicy Mongolian Fusion.
Having five flavours available also means there is a good excuse to return and try another version on a different weekday.
There Is a Better Deal for Groups of Five
The promotion becomes even more interesting for students who eat together.
If a group of five students dine together, they can enjoy the Chicken Cutlet Set at an even lower price of just $8.90++ per set.
That makes the group option worth considering for classmates, course mates or friends who are already planning to have lunch together. Instead of everyone choosing separate meals elsewhere, a group of five can take advantage of the lower promotional price while enjoying the same meal together.
At $8.90++ per person, it is also easier to see why gathering a group could be worthwhile. The savings may not sound huge at first, but when eating out regularly, small differences in meal prices can add up over time.
It also gives students another reason to turn an ordinary weekday meal into a casual catch-up with friends.
Do Not Forget the Complimentary Iced Lemon Tea
A meal deal is always more attractive when a drink is included, and Great Nanyang has included a complimentary Iced Lemon Tea with each promotional set.
For students heading over during the afternoon, having a cold drink alongside a chicken cutlet meal can make the deal feel more complete. It also means there is no need to immediately add a separate beverage to the order just to have something refreshing with the meal.
For those trying to stay within a fixed food budget, included drinks are a small but useful bonus.
A Good Afternoon Meal for Students
One of the best things about this promotion is the timing.
The Student Weekday Special is available from 2pm to 5pm, Monday to Friday, which falls outside the usual lunch rush. This could make it convenient for students whose classes finish later in the afternoon or those who prefer having a late lunch.
It can also work well for students who have a long break between classes. Rather than rushing through a meal during the busiest lunch period, they can head over during the promotional hours and enjoy their food at a more relaxed pace.
Of course, students should take note that the promotion is for dine-in only. It is not intended for takeaway orders, so those planning to enjoy the $9.90++ price should be prepared to dine at the outlet.
There are also some date restrictions. The promotion excludes Eves of Public Holidays and Public Holidays, so it is best to check the calendar before making plans.
Students Need to Bring Their Student ID
There is one important requirement that should not be overlooked.
Because this is a student-exclusive promotion, eligible diners must present a valid student ID for verification. Students should therefore remember to bring their student card or other valid student identification when visiting the participating Great Nanyang outlets.
This is particularly important if a group is planning to dine together. Having the required identification ready can help avoid disappointment when ordering the promotional set.
Why Should Students Enjoy This Deal?
There are plenty of reasons why this Great Nanyang promotion deserves a spot on a student’s weekday food list.
First, the price is considerably lower than the usual $20.90++ price. At $9.90++, students get a Signature Hainanese Chicken Cutlet of their choice together with a complimentary Iced Lemon Tea.
Second, there is plenty of variety. Five chicken cutlet flavours are available, so students are not limited to eating exactly the same thing every time they visit.
Third, the group-of-five price makes the deal even more attractive. At $8.90++ per set, getting together with four friends can turn the promotion into an affordable group meal.
Finally, the 2pm to 5pm timing makes it useful for students who are looking for something after class or during an afternoon break. It is a straightforward way to enjoy a filling restaurant meal while keeping spending under control.
For students who enjoy discovering food promotions around Singapore, this is the sort of offer worth knowing about. Great Nanyang has combined a substantial chicken cutlet meal, a complimentary drink and a student-friendly price into one weekday promotion.
Whether the plan is to grab a late lunch after class, meet up with classmates or simply treat yourself to a more satisfying afternoon meal, the Student Weekday Special provides a good opportunity to do so without paying the usual price.
Just remember the key conditions: the offer is available from 5 October 2026 onwards, only from Monday to Friday between 2pm and 5pm, at the participating Geneo and Hillion Mall outlets. It is for dine-in only, excludes Eves of Public Holidays and Public Holidays, and a valid student ID is required.
For a student who loves a good bargain, $9.90++ for a Signature Hainanese Chicken Cutlet Set with a complimentary Iced Lemon Tea is certainly worth considering. And if five friends can make it together, the $8.90++ group price makes the deal even sweeter.
