The kitchen behind the soup

Chef Don Lim founded Don Pie and co-founded Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab, where the crab bee hoon soup is cooked today under the DonChef name. The crab dishes began as family cooking in the early 2000s and went on the menu after customers asked for them. Read our story, or where the Toa Payoh stall went.

The Toa Payoh chapter is told in more depth in Don’s Toa Payoh years, and donpies.com explains why a pie brand sells crab bee hoon soup. News and seasonal drops are collected at the Don Pie Club.
