Co Chung Cheapest Items

By Sing | October 21, 2026

The co chung cheapest items list starts at S$3.20, and that is not a typo. Fresh spring rolls are the cheapest thing on the entire Co Chung menu, and they are a genuinely good dish, not a sad budget afterthought. The catch is that the cheapest items are mostly starters and drinks, so a real lunch still needs a main, and the cheapest full lunch is a different question from the cheapest item. This guide answers both: the ranked cheapest items, then the cheapest ways to turn them into a full meal. For the full price list, see the Co Chung menu hub.

What are the Co Chung cheapest items?

The co chung cheapest items ranking below uses reported prices from the 2025 price guide and diner reviews, since Co Chung publishes no official price list. One price needs a flag: grilled pork banh mi is reported at S$9.96 in hub coverage and S$10.96 in the price guide, so it is listed as a range, and the ranking treats it as the cheapest main even at the higher figure. Items with no widely reported price, such as banh xeo, banh beo and egg coffee, are left out of the priced ranking and noted at the end of this section, so nothing here is guessed.

What can you order for under ten dollars?

Under ten dollars buys you a very good snack and a very good drink, but not a full main, with one exception: the grilled pork banh mi at its lower reported price of S$9.96 just squeezes under the line, and at S$10.96 it just misses it, which is why the flag matters. Everything else under ten dollars is a starter, a salad or a soup: fresh rolls at S$3.20, nem nuong rolls at S$4.26, coffee at S$6.80, crispy rolls at S$8.50, and the S$9.50 group of clams, salads and thick soup. Pair any two of the cheapest three and you have a light meal for S$7.46 (fresh rolls plus nem nuong rolls) or S$10.00 exactly (fresh rolls plus coffee), though neither is a proper lunch on its own.

Fresh spring rolls

Fresh spring rolls at S$3.20 are the cheapest item and the smartest cheap order. Rice paper wrapped around pork belly, shrimp and herbs, served with peanut sauce, light enough to eat before a main and substantial enough to count as a snack on their own. They are also the best way to test Co Chung cheaply: if you like the fresh rolls, you will like the kitchen, and you have risked only S$3.20 finding out.

For kids, the same cheap logic applies in smaller portions, and the Co Chung kids menu guide covers the mild, child-friendly orders that keep a family bill down. The unpriced items to know about are banh xeo (Vietnamese pancake), banh beo (water fern cake) and egg coffee, all on the menu without widely reported prices, so ask in store rather than assuming they sit in the cheap band.

What is the cheapest full lunch?

The cheapest full lunch is a grilled pork banh mi on its own, reported at S$9.96 to S$10.96. It needs no starter, because the baguette, marinated pork, pate, pickles and herbs already make a complete meal, and reviewers praise the grilled pork filling most. The cheapest soup lunch is pho chicken at S$11.50 on its own, or S$14.70 with fresh rolls, and the cheapest rice lunch is broken rice at S$12.50 on its own, or S$15.70 with fresh rolls. The S$12.50 anchor is the real story of this menu: beef pho, Hue spicy soup, broken rice and crab vermicelli soup all sit there, so once you cross the ten-dollar line, the choice is about craving, not cost.

Vietnamese coffee

Vietnamese coffee at S$6.80, for both milk coffee and coconut coffee, is the cheapest drink worth ordering and the one that turns a cheap lunch into a complete meal. Milk coffee is the classic, robusta with condensed milk, hot or iced. Coconut coffee is the crowd favourite for hot afternoons. Either way, budget S$6.80, and know that adding coffee to a banh mi lunch lifts the total to S$16.76 to S$17.76, which is still fair, but no longer a ten-dollar lunch.

Which cheap items work best for sharing?

Cheap items are the best sharing items, because the table can order generously without the bill climbing. Two portions of fresh rolls at S$6.40 total, one crispy rolls at S$8.50, and one salad at S$9.50 give a table of four a real opening round for S$24.40 in total, or S$6.10 per person, before anyone orders a main. That is the cheapest way to make a Co Chung visit feel abundant. The Co Chung menu card guide shows how these starters sit on the printed menu, which helps when one person is ordering for the table.

Both outlets serve the same cheap items: Plaza Singapura, 68 Orchard Rd, #B2-20, Singapore 238839, and Boat Quay, 4-5 Lor Telok, Singapore 049018, open 11am to 10pm daily, phone +65 8876 8137. Go around 11:30am to beat the queue, since the Plaza Singapura outlet takes no reservations and popular dishes sell out. And confirm prices in store, since every price here is a reported price, not an official list.
