We've been baking great Chicken Pies for 41 years

First & Second Generation Entrepreneur

Lim Tee Kheng (林世耿) a first-generation immigrant from the Hainan province of China set up shop in the 1960s at Singapore’s Purvis Street as one of Singapore’s chicken rice hawker pioneers. 

Don Lim (林德發), the 9th child of Tee Kheng started working for Hewlett-Packard (HP) as an apprentice baker where he eventually created Singapore’s Original Chicken Pie. This pie quickly became a hot favorite among staff and they would order it for their friends and family and encouraged him to setup a shop.

Don needed financing and he went to the bank to persuade them that he had a good idea and that he knew how to bake. Don brought his famed Chicken Pie during his meeting with the bank officer and it worked. In 2000, Don started his first pie shop at Far East Square which quickly grew to a sprawling restaurant opposite the street at China Square Central. It was through hard work, determination and the support if his family that helped grow Don Pie both locally and regionally.

In 2014, he sold away the brand which has since changed hands multiple times.

Third Generation Entrepreneur

During the pandemic in 2021, Don approached his nephew Kelvin Leong to help revive the business. Loyal customers remember Kelvin as the “Primary School Boy” who not only built Don Pie’s first online presence but also served as extra help in the kitchen almost 20 years ago.

With the mantel now passed on to the new generation, Kelvin confidently oversees the operations at Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab and is committed to preserving the same time-honoured recipe that customers have come to love over the years.

  • We ordered Lala & Prawns Bee Hoon and loved it lots! Lala & Prawns were XL in size and very fresh (seldom come across places that serve fresh prawns these days). Don’t think you can find this soup taste elsewhere. Will be back to try the other dishes. 😋 Staff were friendly and helpful too. 👍🏻

  • Dog friendly place, do reserve early as they only have two tables which allows dogs. Don pie still taste the same after so many years. The seafood soup is a must try, very flavourful and the added herbs go well!

  • I have eaten Don's pies since I was a kid when my parents would by for me. I am glad Don has reopened his own place and brought back the ORIGINAL standard that I tasted 20 years ago. The pastry is fragrant, the chicken chunks are well present. Over the years, the taste from other outlets changed and degraded, but now eating the pie from his own shop now in 2022 brings back memories.

  • XXL Crab bee hoon is a MUST!
    Laksa is heavenly creamy and umami!
    Druken shrimp is very unique!
    All must try, including the chicken pie!

  • Been enjoying Don’s chicken pie for a long time, first time trying his crab bee hoon. I can only say it’s a wonderful rendition of the dish, not too ‘gelat’ and the portion is just nice for two. Have to add the chilli is perfect. Will definitely be back for more pies and crab.

  • A very delightful serving of white beehoon with the tasty broth and chunks of prawns and lala at a very affordable and more than reasonable price! The chicken pies (and Shepherd) are great as well, so much ingredients inside that give you satisfaction to every mouth and cut of the pie.

    Try it and you will love it!

    Ps. This review was at the new outlet. They have moved to the new location at 39 Tyrwhitt Road.

  • Really rich and umami broth! The portion was HUGE with an abundance of ingredients. The one pax serving fed 2 adults well. Chicken pie was yummy. I liked the chic decor as well.

  • Amazing taste and quality of the dishes. I ordered the black pepper chicken pie as well as the crab bee hoon. The crabs were so fresh and the soup was extremely delicious! Perfect for a rainy day!

    The black pepper chicken pie crust was soft but crispy, the filling portions were generous and really good!

    Parking was very convenient as well with the stadium nearby, you get hundreds of lots just a quick walk away.

    I highly recommend the place! I'm going to try the la la next!
