Arnolds Menu Card
The arnolds menu card is refreshingly short: combo meals, a la carte chicken, side orders, sauces, and drinks, all built around one thing, crispy fried chicken. Arnold’s has kept this shape since 1984, and the card reads like a greatest hits list rather than a catalogue. Prices below are reported figures from Singapore food guides, flagged as such, since no current official menu could be verified, and guides from different years do not always agree.
What is on the arnolds menu card?
The card splits into five simple sections. Combo meals cover one person up to a party. The a la carte section covers spring chicken plates, single chicken pieces, and fish and chips. Side orders cover fries, coleslaw, mashed potato, popcorn, and tenders. Then come sauces and dips, and finally beverages. That is the whole card, and regulars like it that way.
Two items define the card more than any others. The spring chicken plate is the signature, a whole young chicken fried golden with coleslaw and mashed potato. The fried bun with chicken gravy is the cult side, cheap, simple, and mentioned in nearly every guide about the chain.
What are the Arnold’s combo meals on the card?
Combos are the heart of the card. The 1 person value meal is the solo starter, the buddy meal and piece boxes cover pairs and families, and the FP party combo is the big table order. Separate guides also report 2 person, 3 person, and 5 person combo meals at S$24.80, S$41.40, and S$63.20, which may be older or outlet specific versions of the same idea.
| Combo meal | Includes | Reported price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Person Value Meal | 2 piece chicken, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, 1 regular drink | S$12.00 |
| 4 Piece Buddy Meal | 4 piece chicken, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, 2 regular drinks | S$29.80 |
| 5 Piece Box | 5 piece chicken in a box | S$20.30 |
| 9 Piece Box | 9 piece chicken in a box | S$35.40 |
| 15 Piece Box | 15 piece chicken in a box | S$57.40 |
| FP Party Combo | 9 piece chicken, 3 sides, chicken popcorn, chicken tender, 3 fried buns, 3 regular drinks | S$73.75 |
How to pick a combo
Eating alone? Take the 1 person value meal. Eating as a pair? The buddy meal or the 5 piece box both work, with the box better if you want extra chicken and the buddy meal better if you want drinks included. Feeding a crowd? The party combo is the only one built for it, and it adds popcorn, tenders, and buns so the table has variety.
What a la carte and side items are on the card?
The a la carte section is short: whole spring plate, half spring plate, single chicken piece, and fish and chips. Sides run from S$4.30 for fries, coleslaw, and mashed potato up to S$13.30 for the crispy treats platter. Sauces are cheap add ons, with chicken gravy at a reported S$2.10 and cheese dip or tartar sauce at S$1.40.

What is the best value on the arnolds menu card?
For solo diners, the 1 person value meal at a reported S$12.00 is the clear pick: chicken, two sides, and a drink in one price. For pairs, the 5 piece box at S$20.30 reported gives the most chicken per dollar if you skip drinks, while the buddy meal at S$29.80 reported bundles drinks in. For groups, the party combo at S$73.75 reported is the only true crowd option, and it covers sides and buns too.
My pick: the 1 person value meal plus an extra fried bun with gravy. It keeps the bill low, it covers the signature flavours, and the bun and gravy add on is the part most first timers miss.
