Canton Paradise Cheapest Items
By SG Menu Price | October 24, 2026
Canton Paradise is not a budget chain, but its menu has a clear cheap end, and it is easy to miss if you start with dim sum. The cheapest items are staples: plain rice, simple drinks, and a handful of desserts, followed by fried rice and noodle mains that cost less than a stack of small plates. This guide to the Canton Paradise cheapest items lists reported prices only, and every figure is flagged as reported, not official.
What is the cheapest item at Canton Paradise?
Fragrant White Rice, reported at S$1.32 in published listings, is the cheapest item we found. On its own it is not a meal, but as a base for a shared main it is the cheapest way to stretch an order. If you are sharing a roast meat or noodle dish with someone, an extra rice at that reported price is the best value add on the menu.
After rice, the cheapest category is drinks. Barley, cold, is reported at S$2.82, and Coke Zero and Fruit Tree Apple Juice are reported at S$3.18. For the full menu context, see our Canton Paradise Menu hub, and for group ordering, our Canton Paradise Party Packages guide covers set menus.
| Item | Reported figure |
|---|---|
| Fragrant White Rice (reported) | S$1.32 |
| Barley, cold (reported) | S$2.82 |
| Coke Zero (reported) | S$3.18 |
| Fruit Tree Apple Juice (reported) | S$3.18 |
What are the cheapest drinks and desserts?
Drinks stay cheap across the board in published listings. Milk Tea, Fresh Honey Lemon, Watercress Honey Lemon Drink, and Ice Lemon Tea are all reported at S$3.44, which means the drink choice barely moves the total. Pick the one you actually like, because saving sixty cents on a drink you do not enjoy is a false economy.
Desserts are the next cheap category. Chilled Aloe Vera with Lime Juice and Sour Plum is reported at S$4.67, while Avocado Pudding, Mango Puree with Sago and Pomelo, and Double Boiled Peach Resin are reported at S$5.11. A dessert at that reported price is a reasonable finish to a cheap meal, and it costs less than most extra dim sum plates.
| Item | Reported figure |
|---|---|
| Milk Tea, cold (reported) | S$3.44 |
| Fresh Honey Lemon, cold (reported) | S$3.44 |
| Ice Lemon Tea (reported) | S$3.44 |
| Chilled Aloe Vera with Lime Juice and Sour Plum (reported) | S$4.67 |
| Mango Puree with Sago and Pomelo (reported) | S$5.11 |
What is the cheapest filling meal at Canton Paradise?
A filling meal needs a main, not just a cheap side. Fried rice is the cheapest filling main in published listings, with Yang Zhou Fried Rice and Fried Rice with Salted Fish and Diced Chicken reported at S$13.93, and Shrimp Fried Rice reported at S$14.82. Pair Yang Zhou Fried Rice with barley and you have a complete meal for about S$16.75 on reported prices, before charges.
Hor fun and ee-fu noodle dishes sit just above fried rice, reported from S$14.82 to S$15.70, and they are also filling enough to stand alone. The expensive trap is the opposite approach: several small dim sum plates, each seemingly cheap, that add up past S$25 before you have eaten a full meal. One main plus one drink beats that trap every time.
| Item | Reported figure |
|---|---|
| Yang Zhou Fried Rice (reported) | S$13.93 |
| Fried Rice with Salted Fish and Diced Chicken (reported) | S$13.93 |
| Shrimp Fried Rice (reported) | S$14.82 |
| Stewed Ee-Fu Noodle (reported) | S$14.82 |
| Stir-fried Hor Fun with Sliced Beef (reported) | S$15.70 |
How do you order the cheapest meal without going hungry?
Order one main, one cheap drink, and stop. If you are still hungry, add plain rice, not another small plate, because rice at a reported S$1.32 fills the gap for far less than a dim sum basket. If you are eating with someone, share a main and a side, and split the cost, which drops the per person total further.
Also check the outlet price before you commit to a total in your head. Reported prices here come from published listings that may be older than the current menu, and outlets and delivery apps can charge more. A quick check of the menu at the table, or the delivery app total before checkout, keeps a cheap meal cheap.
Cheapest meal combinations
The cheapest complete meal is Yang Zhou Fried Rice plus barley, about S$16.75 on reported prices. It is filling, simple, and it does not need a side dish to feel complete.
A second cheap combination is a shared Stewed Ee-Fu Noodle plus two plain rice orders for two light eaters, with barley drinks. The per person cost drops below a solo fried rice order, and the table still gets a proper shared Cantonese dish rather than two separate budget plates.
