Looking for a simple way to enjoy a satisfying meal without spending too much? Mark 18 August on the calendar because The Chicken Rice Shop is bringing back one of its most talked-about monthly dining deals. Known as Chicken Rice Day, the promotion gives diners the chance to enjoy one quarter of chicken for just RM1.80.
For anyone who regularly enjoys chicken rice, RM1.80 is certainly the sort of price that catches attention. It is an especially attractive option for friends, couples or family members who are already planning a casual meal together and want to keep the bill under control.
The offer is available for one day only on 18 August 2026, so anyone interested in taking advantage of it will need to plan their visit around the promotion date. There is also an important requirement to remember: the deal is exclusively for members of the sedapZ loyalty app, and the RM1.80 chicken must be redeemed through the app.
What Can Diners Get for RM1.80?
The main attraction is straightforward. Diners can enjoy one 1/4 Chicken A La Carte for only RM1.80 under the Chicken Rice Day promotion.
There are three chicken choices available, giving diners a little flexibility depending on their preference. The choices are Steamed Chicken, Roasted Chicken and Soy Sauce Chicken.
Steamed chicken is a familiar choice for those who prefer tender chicken with a lighter taste, while roasted chicken is worth considering if a more savoury, roasted flavour is preferred. Soy Sauce Chicken, meanwhile, offers another option for diners who enjoy chicken with a richer sauce-based taste.
Prefer a drumstick rather than the standard chicken portion? There is also an option to change the chicken portion to a drumstick for an additional RM1.00. That means the upgraded choice would cost RM2.80.
Considering the price of many meals today, getting a quarter chicken for RM1.80 makes this promotion particularly interesting for budget-conscious diners.
There Is One Important Catch
As attractive as the RM1.80 price sounds, there are a few conditions to keep in mind before heading to the restaurant.
The first thing to remember is that diners cannot simply walk into an outlet and ask for the promotional price without using the required app. The Chicken Rice Day deal is exclusive to sedapZ members, and the promotion must be redeemed through the sedapZ loyalty app.
It is therefore a good idea to download the app and make sure the membership is ready before visiting the restaurant. Doing this in advance can make the ordering process much smoother, especially if the outlet is busy.
There is another requirement that may affect solo diners. A minimum of two people per table is required to enjoy the promotion. In other words, this is a good excuse to invite a friend, partner or family member along rather than making a solo trip.
Why Bring a Friend Along?
The two-person requirement actually makes this promotion quite suitable for a casual catch-up.
Instead of thinking of Chicken Rice Day simply as a cheap meal, it can be turned into an affordable lunch or dinner outing. A friend who has been craving chicken rice can join, and both diners can choose their preferred chicken dishes from the available menu.
For people trying to watch their spending, promotions like this can also make eating out feel a little more manageable. A meal does not always have to involve a large bill, particularly when there are limited-time offers that provide an opportunity to save.
It is worth remembering, however, that the RM1.80 promotion applies specifically to the qualifying 1/4 Chicken A La Carte item. Any additional food, drinks or other menu choices will be charged separately according to the applicable prices.
Where Can the Promotion Be Used?
Chicken Rice Day is available at The Chicken Rice Shop outlets nationwide, giving diners in different parts of Malaysia an opportunity to take part.
However, there are some exclusions. The promotion is not available at Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, KLIA2 International Departure Hall and Gateway@KLIA2.
Before making a special trip, it would be sensible to check whether the preferred outlet participates in the promotion. This is particularly important for diners who happen to be travelling or visiting a shopping destination where one of the excluded outlets is located.
Remember That It Is Dine-In Only
Another important point is that Chicken Rice Day is strictly for dine-in customers.
The promotional item cannot be treated as a takeaway deal, and unconsumed food from the promotion cannot be taken away. Anyone planning to enjoy the RM1.80 chicken should therefore be prepared to dine at the restaurant.
The promotion is also limited to one order per table, per visit, per bill or receipt. Splitting the bill or dividing the table into separate bills to claim the offer multiple times is not permitted.
This means it is best to keep the arrangement simple: gather the required number of diners, make the redemption through the sedapZ app, order the qualifying promotion and enjoy the meal together.
Can It Be Combined With Other Offers?
The Chicken Rice Day deal cannot be combined with other coupons, promotional offers or discounted items.
That is something worth checking before ordering, particularly for regular customers who may already have other vouchers or discounts available through the restaurant’s loyalty programme.
The promotion’s advertised prices are inclusive of Service Charge and Service Tax (SST), which makes the RM1.80 headline price easier to understand because the stated promotional price already includes these charges.
As with many restaurant promotions, The Chicken Rice Shop may also replace a promotional item with another item of equal value without prior notice. Diners should therefore take the promotion’s terms and conditions into consideration when planning their visit.
Why This Is Worth Checking Out
There is a reason why a deal like this can stand out among everyday food promotions. Chicken rice is already a familiar and comforting meal for many Malaysians, so a significant reduction on a quarter chicken makes the offer easy to understand and potentially worthwhile.
At only RM1.80, the promotional chicken portion can be an inexpensive way to add something substantial to a shared meal. It is particularly appealing for diners who are already planning to eat at The Chicken Rice Shop and would like to make their visit more budget-friendly.
The promotion also provides a reason to get together with someone. Instead of waiting for a special occasion to have a meal outside, 18 August can become a simple excuse for two friends to catch up over chicken rice.
For regular The Chicken Rice Shop customers, the recurring nature of Chicken Rice Day is another reason to remember the date. The offer is valid on the 18th of each month, although the promotion details and availability should always be checked before visiting.
Plan Ahead for 18 August
The biggest thing to remember is that this is a one-day promotion for 18 August 2026. It is not an offer that can be saved for another day, so anyone interested should make the necessary arrangements beforehand.
Download and prepare the sedapZ loyalty app, find a participating The Chicken Rice Shop outlet, bring at least one dining companion and redeem the promotion through the app.
For diners who enjoy finding affordable food deals, this is certainly one to keep on the radar. A quarter chicken for RM1.80 is difficult to overlook, particularly when the meal also gives friends and family a reason to sit down together and enjoy some familiar Malaysian comfort food.
So, if chicken rice is already on the menu for 18 August, this could be a good opportunity to make the meal a little more rewarding without putting too much pressure on the wallet. Just remember the app requirement, two-person minimum, dine-in restriction and participating outlet exclusions before setting off.
