Eighteen Chefs Secret Menu Prices Singapore 2026
There is no official Eighteen Chefs secret menu, and this page will not pretend otherwise. What does exist is an unofficial layer: Be Your Own Chef builds, sauce swaps, loaded fries, fondue dips and limited-time promos, all collected here with honest labels.
Does Eighteen Chefs have a secret menu?
Plain answer first: no, Eighteen Chefs secret menu is not an official thing. The chain publishes no hidden menu, and its official site does not even publish a regular menu. What does exist is an unofficial layer that regulars use: the Be Your Own Chef builder, sauce swaps between dishes, loaded fries and fondue dips on extended listings, and limited-time sauces. This page collects that layer honestly, with nothing invented and no dish presented as official when it is not. For the full standard card, see the Eighteen Chefs menu hub.
Why does the unofficial layer work here when it would not at a stricter chain? Because the menu is already built from mix and match parts. The same sauces appear across pasta, rice plates and burgers, and the kitchen already cooks each one daily. Asking for salted egg sauce on a different base is not asking for a new dish, it is asking for a combination the kitchen already knows.
What can you build with Be Your Own Chef?
Be Your Own Chef is the closest thing Eighteen Chefs has to a secret menu, and it is printed right on the card. You pick a base, then a sauce and a protein, and the kitchen builds it. That freedom is also why the student deal is built on it: the BYOC student and NSF meal from S$8.90 comes with a free drink and a free soup or dessert.
| BYOC base | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Spaghetti | The classic BYOC base | S$11.10 |
| Fusilli | Spirals that hold thick sauces | S$11.80 |
| Cheese Baked Rice | Baked under a melted cheese top | S$11.10 |
| Cheese Baked Spaghetti | Spaghetti with a baked cheese top | S$12.20 |
| Cheese Baked Fusilli | Fusilli with a baked cheese top | S$12.60 |
How to order a BYOC like a regular
Keep it simple: name the base, name the sauce, name the protein, then stop. Three choices, one sentence, no long negotiation at a busy counter. If the sauce you want belongs to another dish on the card, say so plainly, since that is the combination most likely to be possible. And if the answer is no, take the nearest standard dish, since the kitchen knows its own limits.
Which sauce swaps and loaded extras work off menu?
Sauce swaps are the easiest off menu move, because every sauce below already appears on the standard card or an extended listing. Loaded fries and fondue dips sit in the same bucket: they show up on extended menu listings, but no current price is confirmed, so treat them as ask at the counter items rather than fixed menu lines.
| Off menu move | How it works | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Salted egg sauce | From the salted egg prawn pasta and the salted egg burger, ask for it on another base | Ask at the counter |
| Japanese curry | From the cheese baked curry plates, works over rice or pasta | Ask at the counter |
| Coconut sambal | From the chicken with coconut sambal rice plate | Ask at the counter |
| Truffle mushroom | From the older cheese baked and pasta listings | Ask at the counter |
| Loaded fries | Cheesy, bolognese cheese, sambal cheese and salted egg fries appear on extended listings | Ask at the counter |
| Fondue dips | Cheese fondue, salted egg fondue and nacho cheese dips appear on extended listings | Ask at the counter |
What limited-time and promo hacks are worth knowing?
The promo layer is where the real savings sit, and it changes through the year. The student BYOC meal and the weekday second main deal are the two to know, plus limited-time sauces such as the Creamy Mango Sauce reported from June 2026. Always confirm before you order, since promos can end or go outlet specific without notice.
| Promo or hack | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| BYOC Student and NSF meal | Build your own meal with a free drink and a free soup or dessert | From S$8.90 |
| Weekday second main half price | 50% off your second main, weekday afternoons from 2pm to 5pm, reported from 27 February 2026 | 50% off second main |
| Creamy Mango Sauce | Limited-time sauce for cheese baked rice or pasta, reported from 17 June 2026 | Limited time |
| Kids eat free weekends (Star Vista) | Free kids meal with a S$40 spend, Saturday and Sunday, Star Vista outlet only | Free with S$40 spend |
