> Quick view: Uncle Jack has two short deals this week. The October Special (2-11 October) adds 2 free pieces of chicken to the RM62.99 Family Combo and a free drink to two RM14.99 sets. A 50%-off-second-set deal (6-12 October) runs only at the eight branches certified halal on 1 October. The RM4.99 nasi lemak breakfast is unchanged.
October Special, 2-11 October: free chicken or a free drink
Uncle Jack posted the October Special on Instagram on 2 October. Buy one of three sets and get something free:
- Family Combo (Set E) — 8 pieces of fried chicken, a large coleslaw and a large mashed potato, RM62.99 on Uncle Jack's menu — gets 2 pieces of fried chicken free (worth RM11.99)
- Lunch Set (Set B) — 2 pieces, a regular coleslaw and a regular mash, RM14.99 — gets one free soft drink (worth RM3.49)
- Crispy Burger Set — a crispy burger with regular fries, RM14.99 — gets one free soft drink (worth RM3.49)
The poster says terms apply and stocks are limited, and it doesn't restrict the deal to particular outlets.
Worked example: the Family Combo normally works out to RM7.87 a piece (RM62.99 for 8). With 2 free pieces you get 10 for the same price, or RM6.30 a piece, which is about 20% off the chicken. That is the best deal on this page if you are feeding four or more. The free drink on Set B or the Crispy Burger Set is worth less: RM3.49 on a RM14.99 meal, or about 19% more food for your money, and only if you'd have bought a drink anyway.
50% off the second set, 6-12 October (eight branches only)
The second deal, posted on 6 October, takes 50% off the second of these items:
- Dinner Set C — 3 pieces, coleslaw and mash, RM19.99. Two cost about RM30, or RM5 a piece
- Fish Burger Set — fish burger and regular fries, RM13.99. Two cost about RM21
- Fries — RM4.99. Two portions cost about RM7.49
The catch is where it runs. The poster's terms say it is exclusive to eight branches: Giant Suria Jaya, Giant Kota Damansara, Giant Klang, Giant Kemuning Utama, Giant Nilai, Giant Plentong, Mercato Plaza Pelangi and TMC YouCity. These are the eight branches Uncle Jack announced as newly halal-certified on 1 October, so the deal is a celebration for them. Six are in the Klang Valley and Negeri Sembilan, and two are in Johor Bahru. Neither poster says whether the two deals can be combined.
Two Dinner Set Cs at about RM30 is the cheapest chicken per piece Uncle Jack is selling this week: RM5 a piece against RM6.30 for the Family Combo deal. If you're near one of the eight branches and two people are eating, choose this one.
Still running: the RM4.99 breakfast
The Morning with Uncle Jack menu is still on Uncle Jack's own Promotion page:
- Nasi Lemak, Bihun Siam or Hash Brown with black coffee — RM4.99
- Egg Muffin or Chicken Muffin with black coffee — RM6.49
- Served until 12pm daily
Uncle Jack's menu prices nasi lemak at RM3.50 and hot black coffee at RM2.99, so the breakfast saves RM1.50. The breakfast nasi lemak has egg and sambal but no fried chicken. The all-day Nasi Lemak Set with one piece is RM9.49.
Opening hours matter here. Uncle Jack's locator now shows nine outlets opening at 10am, including Giant Bandar Kinrara, Kemuning Utama, Klang, Kota Damansara, Putra Heights, Shah Alam Stadium and Suria Jaya, so breakfast there lasts only two hours. The earliest openers are TMC Bangsar (7am) and Mercato Tropicana Metropark and Sunway D'hill Residences (7.30am). Fifteen more open at 8am, among them Bandar Baru Ampang, Klang Parade, TMC YouCity, Giant Desa Petaling, Giant Bayan Baru and Mercato Garden Square.
Is Uncle Jack halal? 13 branches are certified
On 7 October Uncle Jack listed 13 JAKIM halal-certified branches:
- Certified on 1 October (8): Giant Suria Jaya, Giant Kota Damansara, Giant Klang, Giant Kemuning Utama, Giant Nilai, Giant Plentong, Mercato Plaza Pelangi and TMC YouCity
- Certified earlier (5): Giant Bandar Kinrara, Giant Shah Alam Seksyen 7, Giant Shah Alam Stadium, Giant Putra Heights and Seri Iskandar (Petronas Bandar Universiti)
By state that is Selangor 9, Johor 2 (Giant Plentong in Masai and Mercato Plaza Pelangi in Johor Bahru), Negeri Sembilan 1 (Giant Nilai) and Perak 1 (Seri Iskandar). There is still no certified Uncle Jack in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Pahang, Kedah, Penang or Terengganu. Uncle Jack's "8 new" includes six branches that JAKIM's e-Halal directory already listed when we checked on 11 September, so the brand's announcement lags the directory a little. Giant Plentong and Mercato Plaza Pelangi are the new ones. If certification matters, search "UNCLE JACK" under Premis Makanan on the Halal Malaysia portal before you go.
Where Uncle Jack is now: 43 listed outlets, first in Pahang
Uncle Jack's outlet locator lists 43 outlets on 9 October, up from 38 in September. By state: Selangor 17, Kuala Lumpur 6, Johor 6, Negeri Sembilan 3, Perak 3, Terengganu 3, Kedah 2, Putrajaya 1, Pahang 1 and Penang 1.
- New to the list: Giant Destina Putrajaya (opened 13 August), Klang Parade (8 September), Giant Kuantan (Lot B2, Jalan Tanah Putih — Uncle Jack's first Pahang outlet, which moved to a new spot inside Giant Kuantan in late September), Giant Plentong in Masai and Mayang Mall in Kuala Terengganu
- Still missing: Hentian Sungai Bakap on the Penang mainland, a drive-thru that opened on 3 September, isn't on the locator yet, so the real count is at least 44
- Locator quirks: the Seksyen 7 address error is fixed (it now shows Jalan Plumbum T7/T). A new one has appeared: the entry labelled "Giant Leisure Mall" prints the Plaza Pelangi address in Johor Bahru (Lot 1.01 & B1.01, Jalan Serampang). Check the map pin before driving
There are still no outlets in Melaka, Kelantan, Perlis, Sabah or Sarawak.
How to pick this week
- Feeding a family: the Family Combo with 2 free pieces, by 11 October
- Two people near one of the eight certified branches: two Dinner Set Cs at about RM30, by 12 October
- Solo lunch: Set B or the Crispy Burger Set with the free drink, by 11 October
- Before noon on a budget: the RM4.99 nasi lemak and coffee, any day
How to catch the next deal
Uncle Jack has run a deal almost every month this year: the halal celebration to 20 July, Syukur 5 and Belanja Kawan (9-20 July), free mineral water with RM9.49 rice sets in August (ended 31 August), nothing in September, and two deals in October. None of them reached Uncle Jack's website. Its Promotion page still carries a promotion that ended on 30 November 2025. New offers appear first on Instagram (@unclejackmalaysia), and the Instagram feed on Uncle Jack's homepage shows the same posts.
Who it suits, and who should skip
- Suits: families who can use 10 pieces before 11 October, Klang Valley and Johor Bahru diners near the eight certified branches, and anyone after a sub-RM5 breakfast before noon
- Skip: anyone in Kuala Lumpur, Penang or Pahang who needs a JAKIM-certified branch, and anyone expecting the 50% deal at every outlet
