# donpieshop.com: full text > A calm, practical buyer's guide to getting pies in Singapore: Don Pie outlets, delivery, lead times, bulk orders and how many pies to order. Facts checked October 2026; confirm prices, hours and terms with the bakery. --- # Where to buy pies in Singapore URL: https://donpieshop.com/where-to-buy-pies-singapore/ Published: 6 April 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: You can buy pies in Singapore at five kinds of places: specialist pie kitchens such as Don Pie (Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab in Jalan Besar plus four mall kiosks), heartland bakery chains, cafe and artisan pie makers, supermarket freezers, and delivery apps like GrabFood and foodpanda. Walk in for a few pies today; pre-order for whole pies or anything over 20 pieces. Buying pies in Singapore is easy if you want one. It gets harder when you want twenty, at 12.30pm on a Friday, delivered to a meeting room in Raffles Place. This guide sorts the places that sell pies by how they work, so you can match the shop to the job. ## What are the main places to buy pies in Singapore? Singapore pie sellers fall into five groups. Each group has a different price band, lead time and way of handing the pies over. | Where | Typical price per personal pie | How you buy | Good for | |---|---|---|---| | Specialist pie kitchens | About $6 to $9 | Walk in, pre-order, own delivery | Party orders, gifts, consistent quality | | Heartland bakery chains | About $1.50 to $4 | Walk in, some online stores | Cheap snacks, quick pantry top-ups | | Cafe and artisan pie makers | About $13 to $19 for savoury | Pre-order, own delivery, apps | Showpiece whole pies, dessert pies | | Supermarkets and online frozen sellers | Varies by brand | Shelf or online order | Freezer stock, bake when you like | | Delivery apps | Shop price plus fees | GrabFood, foodpanda | One or two pies, fast | Prices are snapshots from published menus and reviews as of October 2026. They change, so treat them as bands, not quotes. ## Specialist pie kitchens: where Don Pie fits A specialist pie kitchen is a shop where pies are the main product, baked in its own kitchen and sold through its own outlets. **Don Pie** is the best-known example. Don Pie is the chicken pie of Chef Don Lim, who founded the original Don Pie shop at Far East Square in 2000 and later co-founded Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab. The kitchen bakes the pies today under the DonChef name at 39 Tyrwhitt Road in Jalan Besar, and they are sold there and at kiosks in AMK Hub, Wisma Atria, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza. Don Pie's printed menu (February 2026) lists the Original Chicken Pie at $6.80 for a personal pie and $33.80 for a whole pie that feeds 4 to 6, as of October 2026. Check the official site for current prices, because online and delivery prices can differ from the counter. Specialist kitchens suit buyers who need a known product in quantity. They take advance orders, publish lead times and handle bulk requests. Our [Don Pie shop guide](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/) covers each outlet, and [how to order from Don Pie](https://donpieshop.com/order-from-don-pie/) walks through the online ordering steps. Other specialists are built around a single style. The Shepherd's Pie in Bedok North has sold baked and frozen shepherd's pies since 2007 and says it is Halal-certified. Cottage Pies Cafe in Pasir Ris has been reported open since 1997, though we could not confirm its current prices. ## Heartland bakery chains A heartland bakery chain is a mall or neighbourhood bakery that sells pies alongside buns, puffs and cakes. These are the cheapest pies in Singapore and the easiest to find on a weekday. - **Polar Puffs & Cakes** sells a chicken pie at $3.20 on its own online store and is Halal-certified. It also sells party boxes, which need 3 to 5 days' notice. - **Kopi & Tarts** sells a $3.20 chicken pie and is Halal-certified. Its own delivery has a $25 minimum. - **Balmoral Bakery** in Clementi, open since 1965, was reported selling chicken pies at about $1.80 in 2024. Heartland pies are smaller and simpler than a specialist's. That is not a criticism: for a pantry top-up or an after-school snack, they are the right buy. For a longer list of who sells what, [Pie Singapore's filterable seller directory](https://piesingapore.com/sellers/) covers more shops than we can here. ## Cafe and artisan pie makers Cafe pie makers bake fewer, fancier pies, often with a whole pie as the centrepiece. Elijah Pies (Tanjong Pagar Plaza, King George's Avenue and Joo Chiat) sells dessert and savoury whole pies in the $62 to $69 range on its shop page. Windowsill Pies (Great World City) focuses on sweet pies such as pecan and lemon meringue, with whole pies from about $65 to $80. Marymount Bakehouse on Race Course Road sells sourdough-crust pies from about $16.90 for a 4-inch pie. These shops are where you buy a dessert pie for a birthday or a showpiece for a dinner. Most want orders a day or several days ahead. ## Supermarkets and frozen pies Supermarket freezers stock frozen chicken pies from mass-market brands, and online sellers such as Bake Mission sell frozen bake-at-home bundles (3 pies for $24.60 on its site). Frozen pies are a convenience product. Buy them to keep in reserve, and bake them yourself when you need them. The [frozen and bake-at-home pies guide](https://donpieshop.com/frozen-pies-singapore/) goes deeper. ## Delivery apps GrabFood and foodpanda list pies from shops that sign up, including some Don Pie outlets and several cafe chains. Apps are best for one or two pies to your desk. For anything larger, the fees add up and the menu is usually shorter than the shop's own. Deliveroo stopped operating in Singapore in March 2026, so ignore older guides that send you there. [Interactive comparison of four buying channels: walk-in, pre-order and collect, bakery own delivery, delivery apps (GrabFood, foodpanda).] ## Which place should you use for your order? Match the place to the size and timing of the order: 1. **One to five pies, today:** walk in at a kiosk or bakery, or use a delivery app. 2. **Six to twenty pies for a set time:** pre-order from a specialist kitchen and collect, or book its own delivery. 3. **Whole pies for a party:** pre-order 1 to 3 days ahead from a specialist or cafe pie maker. 4. **Over 100 pieces:** ask for a bulk quote a week or more ahead. Our [bulk and corporate guide](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/) has a checklist. 5. **Freezer stock:** frozen pies from a supermarket or an online frozen seller. ## Closed pie shops to cross off your list Older listicles still mention shops that no longer trade. Oven Marvel at Sunshine Plaza closed in 2022 when its owners retired, and a fan archive sets out [what happened to Oven Marvel](https://ovenmarvel.com/what-happened-to-oven-marvel/) in detail. Pie Face left Singapore years ago, and Windowsill Pies' Haji Lane and Westgate shops have closed (its Great World City kiosk remains). Wimbly Lu has been reported closed. If a guide sends you to one of these, check its date. For a neighbourhood view, see [pie shops by area](https://donpieshop.com/pie-shops-by-area/). If you are weighing up an unfamiliar shop, our checklist on [how to choose a pie shop](https://donpieshop.com/how-to-choose-a-pie-shop/) helps. ## Questions ### Where can I buy chicken pies in Singapore today, without ordering ahead? Walk into a kiosk or bakery counter. Don Pie's five outlets sell personal pies over the counter daily from about 10am (kiosks may close early if they sell out), and heartland bakery chains such as Polar Puffs & Cakes sell chicken pies at many mall outlets. Whole pies in quantity usually need a pre-order. ### Can I buy pies online in Singapore? Yes. Most specialist pie makers take orders on their own websites for pickup or delivery, usually with a lead time of a day or more for whole pies. Delivery apps cover small, same-day orders from shops that list on them. ### Are supermarket frozen pies worth buying? Frozen pies are useful for stocking the freezer and baking on your own schedule. They are a different product from a pie baked that morning, so judge them as a convenience buy. Our [frozen pies guide](https://donpieshop.com/frozen-pies-singapore/) covers the options. --- # Pie shops in Singapore, by area URL: https://donpieshop.com/pie-shops-by-area/ Published: 16 August 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Pie shops in Singapore cluster in a few areas. Don Pie has outlets in Jalan Besar, Ang Mo Kio, Orchard, Pasir Ris and Tiong Bahru. Katong and Joo Chiat are known for banana pies and cafe pies. Tanjong Pagar, Great World and Race Course Road have artisan pie makers, and Clementi has the old-school Balmoral Bakery. The west and the north-east have the fewest specialists. Most pie guides rank shops. This one maps them, because for a buyer the nearest good shop usually beats the best shop across the island. For the kinds of seller and how each one works, start with [where to buy pies in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/where-to-buy-pies-singapore/). Addresses and details are from sellers' own pages and dated reviews, checked October 2026. Shops change, so confirm before you travel. **A note on searching** In Singapore, "PIE" is also the Pan Island Expressway. Searching "pie Toa Payoh" tends to bring up traffic news. Search "pie shop" or "chicken pie" plus the area instead. ## Jalan Besar, Farrer Park and Race Course Road - **Don Pie flagship, 39 Tyrwhitt Road.** The Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab restaurant, with the full pie menu and crab dishes.

Walk-in. [Pie Singapore's Balmoral Bakery profile](https://piesingapore.com/sellers/balmoral-bakery/) has more on its history. - **Wheathead, Slim Barracks Rise.** A banana cream pie at $14.50. - The west has no Don Pie outlet; Tiong Bahru Plaza is the nearest on the East West Line. ## Bedok and Simei - **The Shepherd's Pie, Bedok North and Simei area.** Baked and frozen shepherd's pies since 2007; states it is Halal-certified. ## Toa Payoh There is no Don Pie shop in Toa Payoh today, although Chef Don Lim, the founder of Don Pie, sold his pies in Toa Payoh North until about 2021, when he co-founded the Tyrwhitt Road kitchen. The nearest Don Pie outlets are AMK Hub and Tyrwhitt Road. See [is there a Don pie shop in Toa Payoh?](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop-toa-payoh/) ## Islandwide: delivery fills the gaps If your area has no specialist, delivery evens things out. Most specialists deliver islandwide, often free above $150 to $200. Our [pie delivery guide](https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-singapore/) explains the fees, and [Don pie shop near me](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop-near-me/) picks the nearest Don Pie outlet by region. ## Questions ### Which area of Singapore has the most pie shops? The east, around Katong, Joo Chiat and Bedok, has a strong mix of banana pie shops, cafe pie makers and a shepherd's pie specialist. Central Singapore has the Don Pie flagship and kiosks plus several artisan bakers. ### Are there pie shops in Jurong? We did not find a pie specialist in Jurong to recommend as of October 2026. Heartland bakery chains in Jurong malls sell chicken pies, and delivery from specialists covers the area. --- # How to choose a pie shop: what good looks like URL: https://donpieshop.com/how-to-choose-a-pie-shop/ Published: 17 June 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: A good pie shop in Singapore bakes fresh, ideally daily in small batches, fills its pies generously, and publishes clear terms: prices, lead times, delivery fees, cut-offs and refund rules. It labels halal status honestly, lists allergens, answers messages quickly and tells you plainly what it cannot do. Check these before any large order. Every pie shop says its pies are the best. For a buyer, "best" matters less than "reliable": a shop that bakes well, tells you the rules and does what it says. Here is what good looks like. ## What makes a pie shop worth ordering from? A good pie shop does ten things well. You can check most of them in five minutes on its website or with one message. 1. **It bakes fresh.** Ideally daily, in small batches, with no day-old pies on sale. Ask when the pies were baked. One pie maker's note on [why same-day baking matters for consistency](https://originaldon.com/craft-notes/zero-overnight-pies/) explains the thinking. 2. **It fills the pie.** Cut one open: the filling should reach the lid, with recognisable pieces of meat or vegetables. 3. **It publishes its prices.** Clear prices for personal and whole sizes, and a note if online or delivery prices differ from the counter. 4. **It states lead times.** A written order-by rule for whole pies, party boxes and bulk orders. 5. **It explains delivery.** Fees, free-delivery thresholds, surcharges and whether slots are guaranteed or best-effort. 6. **It is honest about halal status.** Either it holds certification and says so, or it says plainly that it does not. "No pork, no lard, not Halal-certified" is a clear, honest statement. 7. **It lists allergens.** Nuts, eggs, dairy and gluten are common in pastry. 8. **It has a fair problem policy.** How to report a damaged or wrong order, and how quickly. 9. **It answers.** A phone, WhatsApp or email that a person replies to, especially for bulk orders. 10. **It says no when it should.** A shop that tells you it cannot meet your time is more useful than one that takes the order and misses. ## What should you check before a large order? For orders of 20 pies or more, test the shop before the big day: - **Buy a few pies first,** ideally the same types, to check the taste and how they travel. - **Message with a question** and see how quickly and clearly you get an answer. - **Read the cancellation rule.** Some shops do not allow changes once an order is placed. - **Ask about invoices** if your company needs one. Our [bulk and corporate guide](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/) has a saved checklist for big orders. ## How do different kinds of pie shop compare? | Kind of shop | Strengths | Things to check | |---|---|---| | Specialist pie kitchen | Consistent recipes, whole pies, bulk orders | Lead times, delivery fees, outlet stock | | Heartland bakery chain | Cheap, everywhere, walk-in | Pie size, freshness at that outlet, party box lead times | | Cafe or artisan pie maker | Showpiece whole pies, creative fillings | Price per portion, longer lead times | | Frozen pie seller | Bake on your schedule | Baking instructions, freezer space, delivery days | ## How to read pie reviews Reviews help, with three cautions. First, **check the date**: several popular Singapore lists still feature shops that have closed, such as Oven Marvel, which closed in 2022; Pie Singapore keeps [a list of closed pie shops](https://piesingapore.com/closed-pie-shops-singapore/) that is worth checking against. Second, **look for disclosure**: some reviews are hosted tastings or partnerships, and some "best of" pages are published by sellers. Third, **match the reviewer's purpose to yours**: a cafe reviewer judging a $17 gourmet pie is asking a different question from a parent buying 30 pies for a school event. ## A word about this site We cover Don Pie in the most depth on this site: its pies are baked at Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab, the kitchen co-founded by Don Pie founder Chef Don Lim, under the DonChef name. Other sellers are described from their own published terms and dated reviews. Use the checklist above on every shop, Don Pie included. Next, compare buying channels in [pickup versus delivery](https://donpieshop.com/pickup-vs-delivery/), browse [pie shops by area](https://donpieshop.com/pie-shops-by-area/), or go back to [where to buy pies in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/where-to-buy-pies-singapore/). ## Questions ### How can I tell if a pie shop bakes fresh? Ask when the pies were baked and whether unsold pies are sold the next day. Some shops publish a policy; Don Pie, for example, describes a "zero overnight pies" policy and small-batch baking. ### Should I trust "best pie in Singapore" lists? Use them as a starting point. Check the date, because older lists still include closed shops, and check whether the list is published by a seller. --- # Pickup vs delivery: which is better for your pie order? URL: https://donpieshop.com/pickup-vs-delivery/ Published: 23 July 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Pick up when timing matters or the order is below the free-delivery threshold: you pay only the menu price and control when pies leave the shop. Choose the bakery's own delivery for large orders above the threshold (often $150 to $200). Use GrabFood or foodpanda for one or two pies now. Walk in for a few pies today. There are four ways to get pies in Singapore, and each one is best at something. Our guide to [where to buy pies in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/where-to-buy-pies-singapore/) covers the shops; this page covers how the pies reach you. The right choice depends on three questions: how many pies, how fixed is the time, and how far are you from the shop? [Interactive comparison of four buying channels: walk-in, pre-order and collect, bakery own delivery, delivery apps (GrabFood, foodpanda).] ## When is pickup the better choice? Pre-ordering and collecting is the best choice when the serving time is fixed. You decide when the pies leave the shop, you see them before you pay or leave, and there is no delivery window that might slip. It also costs less below the free-delivery threshold, because there is no fee. Pickup works best when: - the shop is within about 20 to 30 minutes of you or on your way; - the order fits in a car or two bags; - you can carry boxes flat; and - you can collect about 60 to 90 minutes before serving. ## When is delivery the better choice? Delivery from the bakery's own site is the better choice for big orders, for gifts sent to someone else, and for offices where nobody can leave. Above the free-delivery threshold, often $150 to $200 in Singapore, the fee disappears and delivery costs nothing extra. The trade-off is control. Several bakeries use third-party drivers on a best-effort basis and say they cannot guarantee an exact time. Book a slot that ends well before you serve. Fees, thresholds and slots are explained in [pie delivery in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-singapore/). ## When should you use a delivery app? Delivery apps (GrabFood and foodpanda) are for small, immediate orders: one or two pies to your desk or home. Apps charge delivery and platform fees on each order, may price items differently from the counter, and usually carry a shorter menu. For a party, they are rarely the cheapest or most reliable route. Deliveroo is no longer an option, having closed in Singapore in March 2026. ## When is walking in enough? Walking in works for a handful of pies on the day. Kiosks and bakeries sell what was baked that day, so popular flavours and whole pies may run out, especially late in the day. A phone call before you set off solves most of that. ## The decision, in one table | Your situation | Best route | |---|---| | 1 to 5 pies, today | Walk in, or an app | | Under about 20 pies, fixed time, shop nearby | Pre-order and collect | | Over the free-delivery threshold | Bakery's own delivery | | Gift to another address | Bakery's own delivery | | Office, nobody can leave | Bakery delivery, or an app for small orders | | Event in under 3 hours | Call a kiosk, then collect | ## Tips for a smooth pickup 1. Choose the right outlet when ordering, since you may not be able to switch later. 2. Bring a flat-bottomed bag or a box for the car. 3. Check the order at the counter: count and open one box. 4. Drive straight to the event; do not leave pies in a parked car. Need the nearest Don Pie outlet for a pickup? See [Don pie shop near me](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop-near-me/). For fee details, see [pie delivery fees compared](https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-fees-compared/). ## Questions ### Is it cheaper to collect pies than to have them delivered? Usually, yes. Collecting removes the delivery fee, and some sellers give a small discount for self-collection, such as 5% at The Shepherd's Pie. Above a seller's free-delivery threshold, delivery costs the same and saves you the trip. ### Can I collect from a different outlet from the one I ordered at? Often not. Don Pie's ordering FAQ, for example, says you collect from the outlet you ordered at. Choose carefully when you place the order. --- # Pie delivery in Singapore: how it works URL: https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-singapore/ Published: 14 April 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Pie delivery in Singapore works two ways. A bakery's own website delivers whole pies and bigger orders, usually with a flat fee of about $15 to $28 or a distance-based fee, free above a threshold that is often $150 to $200, and a lead time of a day or more. GrabFood and foodpanda deliver small orders on demand, with app fees on top. Pie delivery in Singapore sounds simple until the fee page loads. There are two separate systems at work, a bakery's own delivery and the delivery apps, and they suit very different orders. Here is how each one behaves in October 2026. ## What are the two ways to get pies delivered? **Own-site delivery** means you order on the bakery's website and the bakery arranges delivery, often through drivers from Grab, Lalamove or similar services. It covers the full menu, whole pies included, and usually needs a day or more of notice. **App delivery** means you order through GrabFood or foodpanda. The shop prepares the order and an app rider brings it. It suits one or two pies, today, from shops that list on the app. ## How much does pie delivery cost? Own-site delivery fees in Singapore follow a pattern: a flat fee or a distance-based fee, waived above a spending threshold. The table shows published terms as of October 2026. | Seller | Delivery fee | Free delivery above | Lead time noted | |---|---|---|---| | Don Pie (Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab) | By distance, with surcharges at festive peaks and for some areas | $200, per its home page | Advance orders; see below | | Windowsill Pies | $20 islandwide, plus $10 before 9am | $150 | 3 days minimum | | Polar Puffs & Cakes | Not stated on page | $160 | 3 to 5 days for party boxes | | Kopi & Tarts | $20 | $170 | $25 minimum order | | Marymount Bakehouse | $15, plus $5 for Orchard and CBD | $300 ($380 from 9 to 31 Dec) | Booked by date picker | | Bake Mission (frozen) | $21.80 | $180 | Weekdays only | For the full side-by-side, including halal status and pickup options, see [pie delivery fees compared](https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-fees-compared/). The practical reading: a single personal pie is almost never worth ordering through a bakery's own delivery. Once an order reaches roughly $150 to $200, the fee often disappears. ## How far ahead do you need to order pie delivery? Lead times for own-site pie delivery in Singapore range from the same day to several days. Specialist bakers commonly ask for 1 to 3 days for whole pies, Windowsill Pies asks for at least 3 days, and Polar's party boxes need 3 to 5 days. For Don Pie, one product page asks for advance orders at least 90 minutes ahead, while its 2022 delivery announcement asked for 24 hours. Plan on the longer figure if the time matters. The [pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) turns your event date into an order-by date. ## Do delivery slots arrive on time? Delivery slots are a target, not a promise. Several bakeries say plainly that they use third-party drivers on a best-effort basis and cannot guarantee an exact time. Don Pie's ordering FAQ says this too, and adds surcharges for places such as Sentosa, the CBD, malls and Changi Airport. Three ways to protect your event: 1. Book the slot that ends at least 90 minutes to 2 hours before you serve. 2. Give a full address with unit number, block and lift lobby, plus a phone number that will be answered. 3. Name a backup receiver at an office, because riders rarely wait long. ## Do pies arrive hot or cold? Pies delivered across Singapore usually arrive warm at best. Party mini pies from some bakeries are delivered cold by design, with reheating instructions. Treat any delivered pie as one you may need to warm, and do not leave it sitting at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Singapore's heat makes that limit matter. Our guide to [storing, transporting and reheating pies](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/) has temperatures and times, and for chicken pies there is a tested walkthrough of [how to reheat chicken pie in the oven, air fryer or microwave](https://donchickenpie.com/how-to-reheat-chicken-pie/). ## When are delivery apps the better choice? Delivery apps beat own-site delivery when the order is small and the need is now. GrabFood and foodpanda list several pie sellers, including Don Pie's Tyrwhitt Road, AMK Hub and Wisma Atria outlets per the brand's own menu page, plus chains such as Han's and Délifrance. Apps cost more per pie once you add delivery and platform fees, and app menus are often shorter than the shop's own. App prices can also differ from counter prices. For a party, order from the shop, using the steps in [where to buy pies in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/where-to-buy-pies-singapore/). ## Pie delivery checklist - [ ] Order total checked against the free-delivery threshold - [ ] Lead time confirmed - [ ] Slot ends 90 minutes or more before serving - [ ] Full address and a reachable phone number - [ ] Surcharges checked - [ ] Cancellation and change terms read - [ ] Reheating plan ready If you are mainly after chicken pies, our [chicken pie delivery guide](https://donpieshop.com/chicken-pie-delivery-singapore/) narrows the field. If you need pies within hours, read [same-day pie delivery](https://donpieshop.com/same-day-pie-delivery-singapore/) first. ## Questions ### How much does pie delivery cost in Singapore? On a bakery's own site, expect a flat fee of about $15 to $28 or a fee by distance, with free delivery above a threshold. Published thresholds include $150 (Windowsill Pies), $160 (Polar Puffs & Cakes), $170 (Kopi & Tarts) and $200 (Don Pie, per its home page), as of October 2026. Apps add delivery and platform fees per order. ### Do pies arrive hot? Usually not hot. Pies cool in the 30 to 90 minutes between oven and door, and party mini pies are often delivered cold on purpose. Plan to warm them in the oven or air fryer, and serve within 2 hours of arrival if you do not reheat. ### Can I choose an exact delivery time? You can usually choose a slot, but many bakeries use third-party drivers and describe slots as best-effort. If the time matters, book delivery well before you serve, or collect the pies yourself. ### Can I still order pies on Deliveroo? No. Deliveroo stopped operating in Singapore in March 2026. GrabFood and foodpanda are the main delivery apps now. --- # Chicken pie delivery in Singapore URL: https://donpieshop.com/chicken-pie-delivery-singapore/ Published: 1 July 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: For chicken pie delivery in Singapore, order whole pies or 10 or more personal pies from the bakery's own site, such as Don Pie (free islandwide delivery above $200 per its home page), Polar Puffs & Cakes (free above $160, Halal-certified) or Kopi & Tarts (free above $170, Halal-certified); Don Pie is not Halal-certified. For one or two pies today, use GrabFood or foodpanda. Chicken pie is the pie most Singapore buyers mean when they say "pie". It is also the easiest to get delivered, because so many shops make one. The catch is that a $3 heartland pie and a $6.80 specialist pie are different products with different delivery rules. ## Who delivers chicken pies in Singapore? These sellers deliver chicken pies through their own websites, as of October 2026. Fees and thresholds change, so confirm on the seller's site before you order. | Seller | Chicken pie | Delivery terms | Halal status | |---|---|---|---| | Don Pie (Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab) | Original Chicken Pie, personal or whole (feeds 4 to 6) | Advance online orders; fee by distance; free islandwide above $200 per its home page | No pork, no lard; not Halal-certified | | Polar Puffs & Cakes | Chicken pie, $3.20 on its online store; mini chicken pie party boxes | Free islandwide above $160; party boxes need 3 to 5 days | Halal-certified | | Kopi & Tarts | Chicken pie, $3.20 | $20 fee; free above $170; $25 minimum | Halal-certified | | Elijah Pies | Savoury mini pie party boxes and whole pies | Free delivery tiers above $120 or $150 (2025 promotion); same-day advertised | Not stated | Several cafe chains, including Han's and Délifrance, sell chicken pies through delivery apps rather than their own delivery. If halal certification decides the order, start with [this round-up of halal pies](https://piesingapore.com/halal-pies-singapore/), then confirm the certificate with the seller. ## Which chicken pie suits which order? The right chicken pie depends on the job more than on any ranking. - **A treat for one or two people:** an app order of personal pies from a nearby outlet. - **An office pantry spread of 15 to 30:** personal pies pre-ordered from one seller, delivered in one drop. See [pies for the office pantry](https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-office-pantry-meetings/). - **A family gathering:** two or three whole chicken pies, cut at the table, plus a few personal pies. - **A halal-required event:** a seller with its own Halal certification, checked before ordering. - **A children's party:** mini chicken pies, which small hands manage better than wedges. ## What makes DonChef's chicken pie different? Don Pie's Original Chicken Pie is a Hainanese-style chicken pie with a golden, flaky crust, chunky chicken, potato, vegetables, a spice blend and half a hard-boiled egg. The brand describes it as "Singapore's original Chicken Pie, since 1983", the year Chef Don Lim created the recipe. The kitchen he co-founded bakes it today under the DonChef name. A personal pie feeds one; a whole pie feeds 4 to 6. Don Pie also lists Black Pepper Chicken, Chicken Shepherd's and Curry Pie on its printed menu, so a mixed order from one kitchen is easy. The [step-by-step ordering guide](https://donpieshop.com/order-from-don-pie/) explains choosing pickup or delivery on its ordering site. ## How do you keep delivered chicken pies at their best? Chicken pies lose crispness in transit, because steam softens the pastry inside a closed box. Open the box lid slightly once the pies arrive, so steam escapes. Serve within 2 hours, or chill and reheat later. To re-crisp, Don Pie's ordering FAQ suggests an air fryer at 150C for 5 minutes, then 200C for 5 minutes. Machines vary, and a side-by-side test of [air fryer chicken pie settings](https://donchickenpie.com/experiments/air-fryer-chicken-pie-settings/) shows how much. Its older storage guide suggests an oven at 150 to 180C for 20 to 30 minutes. Either way, check that the centre is piping hot, at least 75C for chicken. More detail is in [how to store, transport and reheat pies](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/). **Ordering on an app?** Deliveroo has stopped operating in Singapore, so older links to it will not work. Search GrabFood or foodpanda for the outlet nearest you, and check that the listed prices match what you expect: app prices can differ from the counter. ## Chicken pie delivery, step by step 1. Count heads with the [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/). 2. Decide whole versus personal. Whole pies are cheaper per head for seated meals. 3. Check the free-delivery threshold and the lead time on the seller's site. Our [pie delivery guide](https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-singapore/) explains how thresholds and slots work. 4. Book a slot that ends at least 90 minutes before serving. 5. On arrival, check the order against the receipt and photograph any damage straight away. Some sellers want a report within a couple of hours. ## Questions ### Which chicken pie delivery is halal? Polar Puffs & Cakes and Kopi & Tarts both state that they are Halal-certified. Don Pie uses no pork and no lard but is not Halal-certified. Check the certificate with the seller before a halal order. ### What is the cheapest way to get chicken pies delivered for a group? Pre-order enough to pass the seller's free-delivery threshold, or pre-order and collect yourself. For small groups, heartland chicken pies at about $3 each cost less per head than premium pies, but check the minimum order and fees. ### Can I get a whole chicken pie delivered? Yes. Specialist kitchens deliver whole chicken pies. Don Pie's whole Original Chicken Pie feeds 4 to 6 and was listed at $33.80 on its February 2026 printed menu, as of October 2026. Check the official site for the live price. --- # Pie delivery fees compared, October 2026 URL: https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-fees-compared/ Published: 27 August 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Singapore pie bakeries that publish delivery terms charge flat fees of about $15 to $28 per order, or a fee by distance, and most waive the fee above a threshold between $150 and $200. Marymount Bakehouse is higher at $300. Lead times run from same day to 5 days. Delivery apps charge per order, so they suit only small orders. Most "best pie delivery" lists in Singapore were written in 2020 or 2021, and their fee figures are stale. This page collects the delivery terms that bakeries publish on their own sites, dated October 2026, so you can compare like with like. For how delivery works in general, start with [pie delivery in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-singapore/). ## Pie delivery fees and thresholds, side by side | Seller | Delivery fee | Free above | Minimum or notes | Lead time | |---|---|---|---|---| | Don Pie | By distance, plus surcharges at festive peaks and for Sentosa, CBD, malls and Changi Airport | $200 (home page) | Third-party drivers, best-effort slots | Advance orders; 90 minutes on one product page, 24 hours in its 2022 announcement | | Windowsill Pies | $20 islandwide; $10 extra before 9am | $150 | Sweet pies mainly | 3 days minimum | | Polar Puffs & Cakes | Not stated | $160 | Self-collect available | 3 to 5 days for party boxes | | Kopi & Tarts | $20 | $170 | $25 minimum order | Not stated | | Marymount Bakehouse | $15; $5 extra for Orchard and CBD | $300 ($380 from 9 to 31 Dec) | Sourdough-crust pies | Date picker | | The Shepherd's Pie | Not stated on page | $150 | 5% off for self-collection | Fresh or frozen | | Elijah Pies | Not stated on page | $120 Flexi, $150 Express (2025 promotion) | Also on GrabMart, foodpanda, Oddle | Same day advertised | | Bake Mission | $21.80 | $180 | Frozen pies | Weekdays only | | Violet Oon | $28 per location ($38 on public holiday eves) | None stated | Shepherd's pie party trays | 3 days, by 3pm | All figures are as published on the sellers' sites or order forms we checked, as of October 2026. Violet Oon's figures come from its 2025 Christmas order form. Check the seller's site before you order. For Don Pie, the checkout steps are in [how to order from Don Pie, step by step](https://donpieshop.com/order-from-don-pie/). ## How should you read a delivery fee? A delivery fee in Singapore is best read as a cost per head. A $20 fee on an order for 20 people adds $1 a head. The same fee on a two-pie order doubles the price of lunch. Three rules of thumb follow: 1. **Under about $40:** walk in, collect, or use an app. 2. **Between about $40 and the threshold:** compare the fee with the cost of adding a few more pies, which you can freeze. 3. **Above the threshold:** own-site delivery is usually free, so it is often the cheapest option. For the menu side of the sum, [Pie Singapore's price guide](https://piesingapore.com/pie-prices-singapore/) tracks what a pie costs across the island. ## Hidden costs to look for - **Area surcharges.** The CBD, Sentosa, malls and airports often cost more, because riders need to park, queue at loading bays or sign in. - **Early or festive slots.** Windowsill charges more before 9am, and Violet Oon charges more on public holiday eves. - **Higher festive thresholds.** Marymount raises its free-delivery threshold for most of December. - **App fees.** Delivery apps add delivery and platform fees to each order, and app menu prices can differ from the shop's. ## What about delivery apps? Delivery apps do not publish one fee: it depends on distance, demand and your subscription. For pie orders, treat apps as the right tool for one or two pies and the wrong tool for a party. Deliveroo is no longer an option in Singapore, having closed after 4 March 2026. ## Is self-collection cheaper? Self-collection removes the delivery fee entirely and gives you control of the timing. Some sellers reward it: The Shepherd's Pie lists 5% off for self-collection. The trade-off is your time and a careful drive home. Our [pickup versus delivery guide](https://donpieshop.com/pickup-vs-delivery/) works through the decision. ## Questions ### What is a typical free-delivery threshold for pies in Singapore? Most specialist pie bakeries that publish one set it between $150 and $200, as of October 2026. A few are higher, such as Marymount Bakehouse at $300. ### Why do some bakeries charge more for CBD or Sentosa delivery? Deliveries to the CBD, Sentosa, malls and airports take longer because of parking, loading bays and access rules, so several bakeries add a surcharge. Don Pie and Marymount Bakehouse both mention area surcharges. --- # Same-day pie delivery in Singapore URL: https://donpieshop.com/same-day-pie-delivery-singapore/ Published: 3 September 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Same-day pie delivery in Singapore works best for small orders: GrabFood and foodpanda can bring a few pies within the hour from listed outlets. Some bakeries also take same-day online orders, and one Don Pie product page asks for just 90 minutes' notice. For whole pies or party quantities, call the bakery first, or collect from a kiosk yourself. Someone forgot the pies. It is 10am and the meeting is at 1pm. Here is what actually works in Singapore when you need pies today, and what does not. ## Does same-day pie delivery exist in Singapore? Yes, with limits. Same-day pie delivery in Singapore is reliable for small orders through delivery apps, possible for some online orders from bakeries that allow short notice, and unreliable for whole pies or large quantities. The bigger the order, the more you should switch from delivery to collection. ## Option 1: delivery apps, for a few pies GrabFood and foodpanda deliver on demand from outlets that list on them. Don Pie's brand menu page lists its Tyrwhitt Road, AMK Hub and Wisma Atria outlets on the apps, and cafe chains such as Han's and Délifrance sell pies there too. Apps are fast, but per-pie costs are higher once fees are added, and the app menu may not include whole pies. ## Option 2: short-notice online orders Some bakeries accept online orders with only hours of notice. One Don Pie product page asks for advance orders at least 90 minutes ahead, and Elijah Pies advertises same-day delivery. Other bakeries are firm: Windowsill Pies needs 3 days' notice for online orders and offers same-day only by phone. Before you pay, confirm three things: that the slot you pick is really available, that the delivery is not "best-effort" with a wide window, and that you can reach someone if it runs late. ## Option 3: collect from a counter For more than a handful of pies, collecting is usually the most dependable same-day option. Kiosks such as Don Pie's mall outlets sell personal pies over the counter daily, and a phone call or WhatsApp message tells you how many are on the shelf. You control the timing, and you skip the delivery fee. **Kiosks can sell out** Don Pie's kiosk hours carry the line "or earlier if sold out". If you need a quantity late in the day, call ahead. Our [nearest Don Pie outlet guide](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop-near-me/) lists each kiosk's number, and the [Don Pie outlets page on donpies.com](https://donpies.com/outlets/) shows which shops are open right now. ## Same-day plan, by order size | Order size | Best same-day route | Back-up | |---|---|---| | 1 to 5 pies | Delivery app | Walk in | | 6 to 20 pies | Call a kiosk, then collect | Two app orders from two outlets | | 20 to 50 pies | Call the bakery for a short-notice order and collect | Split between two outlets or two sellers | | Over 50 pies | Rarely realistic today; call first | Change the menu to what is available | ## How to avoid needing same-day delivery next time Most same-day scrambles start with a meeting invite that did not mention food. Put the order date in the calendar the moment the event is booked. The [pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) builds the timeline and exports reminders for your calendar. If you are torn between collecting and waiting for a rider, the [pickup versus delivery guide](https://donpieshop.com/pickup-vs-delivery/) has the trade-offs. For fees and lead times on planned orders, see [pie delivery in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-singapore/). ## Questions ### Can I get whole pies delivered on the same day? Sometimes. A few bakeries advertise same-day delivery, and some take online orders with only hours of notice, but whole pies are often baked to order and slots fill up. Call or WhatsApp the bakery before you rely on it. ### What is the fastest way to get 20 pies today? Call the nearest kiosk or bakery to ask what is on the shelf, then collect. A kiosk counter usually has personal pies ready to go, and a phone call avoids a wasted trip. --- # The Don Pie shop guide URL: https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/ Published: 8 April 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Don Pie is the chicken pie first made by Chef Don Lim, founder of the original Don Pie shop, and baked today under the DonChef name at Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab, which he co-founded. As of October 2026 there are five Don Pie shops: the flagship restaurant at 39 Tyrwhitt Road, Jalan Besar, and takeaway kiosks at AMK Hub, Wisma Atria, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza. There is no Toa Payoh shop. If you searched for "Don Pie shop", you probably want one of three things: the nearest outlet, its opening hours, or a way to order ahead. This hub covers all three, with each outlet's details checked against the bakery's own outlet list in October 2026. ## What is Don Pie, and who is DonChef? Don Pie is the chicken pie created by **Chef Don Lim**, who founded the Don Pie shop ("DON: Your Personal Pie Club") at Far East Square in 2000 and dates his recipe to 1983. He went on to co-found **Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab**, a restaurant at 39 Tyrwhitt Road in Jalan Besar, where the pies are baked today under the **DonChef** name. Chef Don Lim still appears at the kitchen's events. The brand's own tagline is "Singapore's original Chicken Pie, since 1983". For the person behind the pie, originaldon.com answers [Who Is the Original Don?](https://originaldon.com/story/who-is-the-original-don/), and donpies.com sets out [how the two names relate](https://donpies.com/don-pie-vs-chicken-pie-kitchen/) if you have seen both Don Pie and Chicken Pie Kitchen on a box. The pie itself has a golden, flaky crust around chunky chicken, potato, vegetables and a spice blend, with half a hard-boiled egg inside. A personal pie feeds one. A whole pie feeds 4 to 6. The kitchen uses no pork and no lard, and it is not Halal-certified. ## Where are the Don Pie shops? As of October 2026, there are five Don Pie shops. One is a full restaurant. Four are takeaway kiosks in malls, each linked or close to an MRT station. - Tyrwhitt Road flagship, Jalan Besar: 39 Tyrwhitt Road, Singapore 207538. Sun to Thu: 10am to 9pm (last order 8.30pm); Fri, Sat and eve of public holidays: 10am to 10.30pm (last order 10pm); Open on public holidays.

Each outlet page carries the details as published by the bakery in October 2026: check before you go. ## What does each Don Pie shop sell? All five outlets sell Don Pie's personal pies. The menu differs by format: | Outlet | Format | Pies | Crab and seafood | Seating | |---|---|---|---|---| | Tyrwhitt Road, Jalan Besar | Flagship restaurant | Full range, plus cakes | Yes | Dine-in, pet-friendly | | AMK Hub | Kiosk | Yes | Yes | None | | Wisma Atria | Kiosk | Yes | No | None | | White Sands, Pasir Ris | Kiosk | Yes | No | None | | Tiong Bahru Plaza | Kiosk | Yes | No | Shared seating nearby | The printed menu (February 2026) lists Original Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken and Chicken Shepherd's pies at $6.80 for a personal pie and $33.80 whole, with Curry, Beef and Apple pies at higher prices. That was the printed price as of October 2026. Check the official site, because online prices can differ and kiosks may not carry every flavour every day. For tasting notes on each pie, the [Don Pie menu and prices](https://donpies.com/menu/) page on donpies.com goes flavour by flavour. ## Walk in, pre-order or delivery? **Walk in** when you want a few pies today. Kiosks sell over the counter from about 10am, and the printed hours carry the note "or earlier if sold out", so go earlier for the full choice. **Pre-order for pickup** when you want whole pies, a mix of flavours, or more than about 10 personal pies at a set time. You choose the outlet when you order, and you collect from that outlet. **Delivery** when the order is large enough to justify it. Don Pie delivers through third-party drivers, charges by distance with surcharges at peak times and for certain areas, and its home page offers free islandwide delivery above $200. For one or two pies, several outlets are on GrabFood and foodpanda. The full walkthrough is in [how to order from Don Pie, step by step](https://donpieshop.com/order-from-don-pie/). ## Bulk and corporate orders Don Pie takes bulk orders from 100 pieces upward, including custom pies, and has a line for government and institutional buyers. Charity and school requests go by email with the item, size, quantity and date. Our [bulk and corporate pie orders guide](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/) covers what to ask any bakery before a large order. ## Is there a Don Pie shop in Toa Payoh? No. Chef Don sold food from Toa Payoh North between roughly 2015 and 2021, and many people still link his pies with the area, but those stalls have closed. The nearest current shops are AMK Hub and Tyrwhitt Road. The [Toa Payoh page](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop-toa-payoh/) explains the history and the best routes. ## Which outlet is nearest to me? The short version: north goes to AMK Hub, east to White Sands, the city and Orchard to Wisma Atria, the south-west to Tiong Bahru Plaza, and Jalan Besar, Little India and the Kallang side to Tyrwhitt Road. The [Don pie shop near me](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop-near-me/) page breaks it down by neighbourhood. ## Questions ### Is Don Pie the same as Chicken Pie Kitchen? Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab is the kitchen that Don Pie founder Chef Don Lim co-founded, and where the pies are baked today under the DonChef name. On this site, "Don Pie" and "Don pies" mean those pies, sold at the five outlets listed here. ### Who is DonChef? DonChef is the name Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab bakes under today. Every pie that leaves the kitchen is a DonChef pie, made to the original recipe that Don Pie founder and kitchen co-founder Chef Don Lim created in 1983. Chef Don Lim still appears at the kitchen's events. ### Do all Don Pie shops sell crab bee hoon? No. Crab dishes are sold at the Tyrwhitt Road flagship and the AMK Hub kiosk. The Wisma Atria, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza kiosks sell pies only. ### Can I eat in at a Don Pie shop? The Tyrwhitt Road flagship is a dine-in restaurant. The AMK Hub, Wisma Atria and White Sands kiosks have no seating, and the Tiong Bahru Plaza kiosk sits beside shared self-service seating. ### Is Don Pie halal? Don Pie's kitchen uses no pork and no lard but is not Halal-certified. The flagship serves alcohol and welcomes pets, which is one reason the brand gives for not holding certification. --- # Don Pie flagship: 39 Tyrwhitt Road, Jalan Besar URL: https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/tyrwhitt-road-jalan-besar/ Published: 20 April 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Don Pie's flagship is Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab at 39 Tyrwhitt Road, Singapore 207538, opposite Jalan Besar Stadium.

Don Pie's February 2026 printed menu lists: | Pie | Personal | Whole (feeds 4 to 6) | |---|---|---| | Original Chicken Pie | $6.80 | $33.80 | | Black Pepper Chicken Pie | $6.80 | $33.80 | | Chicken Shepherd's Pie | $6.80 | $33.80 | | Curry Pie | $6.80 | $38.80 | | Beef Pie | $13.80 | $58.80 | | Apple Pie | $8.80 | $43.80 | Prices are from the printed menu, as of October 2026. Dine-in carries service charge and tax, and online or delivery prices can differ. Check the official site before you rely on a figure. ## When is the best time to go? For takeaway pies, weekday mornings are the calm option: the shop opens at 10am. Evenings on Friday and Saturday run later, to 10.30pm, which suits a dinner. If you want whole pies at a set time, pre-order for pickup rather than hoping they are on the counter. Reviewers have noted that the dining room is small, so book for dine-in at weekends. For the dine-in side, including pets and table bookings, see [donpies.com's Tyrwhitt Road page](https://donpies.com/outlets/tyrwhitt-road-jalan-besar/). ## Is the flagship the right shop for a big order? The flagship is the natural pickup point for large orders, because it is where the pies are baked and it has parking nearby. Don Pie takes bulk orders from 100 pieces upward. Plan ahead with our [bulk and corporate guide](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/), and use the [order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) to set the date you need to order by. ## Who is this outlet closest to? Tyrwhitt Road suits buyers in Jalan Besar, Lavender, Little India, Farrer Park, Bendemeer, Kallang, Geylang and the edge of the city. It is also the closest current Don Pie shop for many people in Toa Payoh who drive. If you are further north, the [AMK Hub kiosk](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/amk-hub/) may be easier. All five shops are compared in our [Don Pie shop guide](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/). For online ordering from this outlet, see [how to order from Don Pie, step by step](https://donpieshop.com/order-from-don-pie/). ## Questions ### Is there parking at the Tyrwhitt Road Don Pie shop?

Reservations are taken online, and the bakery says Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holiday bookings need a small deposit. Takeaway pies need no booking. --- # Don Pie at AMK Hub, Ang Mo Kio URL: https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/amk-hub/ Published: 23 April 2026.

Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: The nearest Don Pie shop depends on your region. North and central-north: AMK Hub (Ang Mo Kio MRT). East: White Sands (Pasir Ris MRT). Orchard and the city: Wisma Atria (Orchard MRT). South-west: Tiong Bahru Plaza (Tiong Bahru MRT). Jalan Besar, Little India and Kallang: the Tyrwhitt Road flagship. There is no shop in the west or in Toa Payoh. "Don pie shop near me" usually means one of two questions: which outlet can I walk to, and is it worth the trip compared with delivery? This page answers both by region, using the five outlets on the bakery's own list as of October 2026. ## Which Don Pie shop is nearest by region? | Your area | Nearest Don Pie shop | Nearest MRT to the shop | |---|---|---| | North and central-north: Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Yio Chu Kang, Thomson, Toa Payoh | [AMK Hub kiosk](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/amk-hub/) | Ang Mo Kio (NS16) | | East: Pasir Ris, Tampines, Simei, Loyang, Changi | [White Sands kiosk](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/white-sands-pasir-ris/) | Pasir Ris (EW1) | | Orchard, Somerset, Newton, River Valley, Tanglin | [Wisma Atria kiosk](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/wisma-atria/) | Orchard (NS22, TE14) | | South-west city: Tiong Bahru, Bukit Merah, Redhill, Outram, Queenstown | [Tiong Bahru Plaza kiosk](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/tiong-bahru-plaza/) | Tiong Bahru (EW17) | | Jalan Besar, Little India, Farrer Park, Lavender, Kallang, Geylang | [Tyrwhitt Road flagship](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/tyrwhitt-road-jalan-besar/) | Farrer Park (NE8), Lavender (EW11), Jalan Besar (DT22) | | North-east: Serangoon, Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol | AMK Hub or White Sands, depending on route | Varies | | West: Jurong, Clementi, Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang | Tiong Bahru Plaza, or delivery | Tiong Bahru (EW17) | For unit numbers and an open-now status for each shop, [this list of all five Don Pie outlets](https://donpies.com/outlets/) is kept current. Our own [Don Pie shop guide](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/) covers what each outlet sells. ## Which outlet is easiest by MRT line? If you travel by train, pick the outlet on your line: - **North-South Line (red):** AMK Hub at Ang Mo Kio, or Wisma Atria at Orchard. - **East West Line (green):** White Sands at Pasir Ris, Tiong Bahru Plaza at Tiong Bahru, or Tyrwhitt Road via Lavender. - **North East Line (purple):** Tyrwhitt Road via Farrer Park. - **Downtown Line (blue):** Tyrwhitt Road via Jalan Besar. - **Thomson-East Coast Line (brown):** Wisma Atria via Orchard. ## When is delivery better than the nearest shop? Delivery beats the trip when the order is large or the shop is far. As a rule of thumb, if the round trip is more than 40 minutes and your order is near the free-delivery threshold (Don Pie's home page lists free islandwide delivery above $200, as of October 2026), delivery is usually the better use of your time. For one or two pies, a delivery app from the nearest listed outlet is quicker than travelling. Our [pickup versus delivery guide](https://donpieshop.com/pickup-vs-delivery/) walks through the trade-offs. ## Tips before you set off 1. **Call or WhatsApp first** if you need more than a handful of pies. Kiosk hours carry the line "or earlier if sold out". 2. **Pre-order for a fixed time** if you want whole pies or particular flavours. You collect from the outlet you chose when ordering. 3. **Bring a flat bag.** Pie boxes travel best level, and kiosks are takeaway only, apart from Tiong Bahru Plaza's shared seating and the Tyrwhitt Road restaurant. 4. **Check crab availability.** Only AMK Hub and Tyrwhitt Road sell crab dishes. ## Why is there no Don Pie shop in Toa Payoh? Chef Don Lim, the founder of Don Pie, sold food in Toa Payoh North from about 2015 to 2021, and the area is still linked with his name online, but those stalls have closed. We explain the history and the best routes on the [Toa Payoh page](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop-toa-payoh/). For a wider view of other pie sellers by neighbourhood, see [pie shops by area](https://donpieshop.com/pie-shops-by-area/). ## Questions ### Is there a Don Pie shop in the west of Singapore? Not as of October 2026. The nearest options for Jurong, Clementi and Bukit Batok are the Tiong Bahru Plaza kiosk on the East West Line, or delivery for a larger order. ### Is there a Don Pie shop in Punggol or Sengkang? No. From Punggol or Sengkang, the White Sands kiosk in Pasir Ris and the AMK Hub kiosk are the nearest, depending on your bus or car route. For a big order, delivery is often simpler. ### Is there a Don Pie shop in the CBD? There is no Don Pie outlet inside the CBD as of October 2026. Tiong Bahru Plaza and Tyrwhitt Road are the closest, and both can be reached quickly by MRT or taxi. --- # Is there a Don pie shop in Toa Payoh? URL: https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop-toa-payoh/ Published: 1 June 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: No. There is no Don Pie shop in Toa Payoh as of October 2026. Chef Don Lim, the founder of Don Pie, ran stalls in Toa Payoh North from about 2015 to 2021, which is why the area is still linked with his pies, but they have closed. The nearest current outlets are the AMK Hub kiosk, three MRT stops north on the North-South Line, and the Tyrwhitt Road flagship in Jalan Besar. Plenty of people search for a Don Pie shop in Toa Payoh. Some remember buying Chef Don's pies or crab bee hoon there; others see an old listing that still files his restaurant under Toa Payoh. Here is the plain answer, the reason behind the confusion, and the quickest ways to get the pies today. ## Is there a Don Pie shop in Toa Payoh now? No. As of October 2026, there is no Don Pie shop, kiosk or pickup point in Toa Payoh. The bakery's current outlet list names five shops: Tyrwhitt Road in Jalan Besar, and kiosks at AMK Hub, Wisma Atria, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza. None is in Toa Payoh. ## Why do people link Don Pie with Toa Payoh? Toa Payoh is the comeback chapter of Chef Don Lim's story. After founding Don Pie at Far East Square in 2000, he sold the Don Pie brand around 2014 to 2015. He then cooked crab bee hoon at a coffee shop stall, "Don Signature Crab", at Blk 206 Toa Payoh North from about 2015. From late 2019 he sold his pies again as "Don's Pie & Cake" at Toa Payoh North Food Centre II, 1008A Toa Payoh North. In 2021, with his nephew, he opened the current restaurant at 39 Tyrwhitt Road, and the Toa Payoh stalls wound down. Food blogs from those years still rank in search results, and at least one review site still lists the restaurant under a Toa Payoh area. So the association is real history, not a current address. Today the Tyrwhitt Road kitchen he co-founded bakes for all five outlets under the DonChef name. For the longer version, read [Don Pie's Toa Payoh story in full](https://donpies.com/toa-payoh/don-pie-toa-payoh-full-story/) or follow [a dated timeline of the recipe](https://originaldon.com/timeline/) from 1983 to now. **Do not head to Toa Payoh North for pies** Blk 206 and 1008A Toa Payoh North are past addresses. You will not find Don Pie there today. ## What is the nearest Don Pie shop to Toa Payoh? From Toa Payoh, two outlets are realistic: | Outlet | From Toa Payoh | Best for | |---|---|---| | [AMK Hub kiosk](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/amk-hub/) | Three MRT stops north on the North-South Line (Toa Payoh to Braddell, Bishan, then Ang Mo Kio), then an underpass into the mall | MRT riders, quick takeaway, pies and crab dishes | | [Tyrwhitt Road flagship](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/tyrwhitt-road-jalan-besar/) | A short drive south, or a bus and walk; parking in front and at Jalan Besar Stadium | Drivers, dine-in, the full menu, big pickups | If you are in Toa Payoh Central, AMK Hub is usually the faster trip by train. If you are driving with a large order, Tyrwhitt Road's parking makes it easier. ## Can you get Don Pie delivered to Toa Payoh? Yes. Don Pie delivers islandwide through third-party drivers. The fee depends on distance, and its home page offers free islandwide delivery above $200, as of October 2026. For a couple of pies, GrabFood and foodpanda list several outlets. Our [chicken pie delivery guide](https://donpieshop.com/chicken-pie-delivery-singapore/) compares the options, and [how to order from Don Pie](https://donpieshop.com/order-from-don-pie/) shows the steps. ## A note on Toa Payoh itself Toa Payoh was one of Singapore's first HDB new towns, built from the 1960s, and its HDB Hub and bus interchange still make it a transport crossroads for central Singapore. That is useful here: the North-South Line from Toa Payoh reaches Ang Mo Kio in three stops, and buses run south towards Jalan Besar. If your search was really "pies near Toa Payoh" rather than Don Pie specifically, see [pie shops by area](https://donpieshop.com/pie-shops-by-area/) for other options across the island. ## Questions ### Did Don Pie have a shop in Toa Payoh? Chef Don Lim ran a "Don Signature Crab" coffee shop stall at Blk 206 Toa Payoh North from about 2015, and sold his pies as "Don's Pie & Cake" at Toa Payoh North Food Centre II (1008A) from late 2019. Both have closed. He moved to 39 Tyrwhitt Road in 2021. ### What is the nearest Don Pie shop to Toa Payoh MRT? The AMK Hub kiosk. From Toa Payoh (NS19), ride three stops north on the North-South Line to Ang Mo Kio (NS16), then follow the underpass into AMK Hub and go down to Basement 2. ### Can I get Don Pie delivered to Toa Payoh? Yes. Don Pie delivers islandwide through third-party drivers, with a fee by distance and free delivery above $200 per its home page, as of October 2026. For one or two pies, try GrabFood or foodpanda from a nearby listed outlet. --- # How to order from Don Pie, step by step URL: https://donpieshop.com/order-from-don-pie/ Published: 12 August 2026.

Chef Don Lim, who founded Don Pie, co-founded the kitchen, and DonChef's Original Chicken Pie follows the recipe he created in 1983. The business says it has no franchise outlets and no partnerships to supply its pies elsewhere. Its five shops are the Tyrwhitt Road flagship and kiosks at AMK Hub, Wisma Atria, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza. donpieshop.com does not take orders or payments: the bakery does. ## Step 1: Decide on pickup or delivery Choose **pickup** if you want to control the timing, avoid a delivery fee, or collect on your way somewhere. Choose **delivery** for large orders, especially above the free-delivery threshold. For one or two pies right now, GrabFood and foodpanda list the Tyrwhitt Road, AMK Hub and Wisma Atria outlets, according to the brand's menu page. Not sure? Our [pickup versus delivery guide](https://donpieshop.com/pickup-vs-delivery/) has a quick comparison. ## Step 2: Open the ordering site and choose your outlet first Go to buy.chickenpie.sg to start a Don Pie order. Before the menu shows prices, the site asks you to choose delivery or a pickup outlet. This matters because: - prices and stock load per outlet; - you collect from the outlet you chose; and - crab dishes appear only for Tyrwhitt Road and AMK Hub. ## Step 3: Choose your pies The printed menu (February 2026) lists these pies, as of October 2026. Check the official site for the live online price, which can differ. | Pie | Personal (feeds 1) | Whole (feeds 4 to 6) | |---|---|---| | Original Chicken Pie | $6.80 | $33.80 | | Black Pepper Chicken Pie | $6.80 | $33.80 | | Chicken Shepherd's Pie | $6.80 | $33.80 | | Curry Pie | $6.80 | $38.80 | | Beef Pie | $13.80 | $58.80 | | Apple Pie | $8.80 | $43.80 | The ordering site also lists mixed "Party Favourite" boxes in personal and whole sizes, a Creamy Chicken Pie, limited "Build Your Pie" slots, and seasonal items. Some items need extra notice: an XXL egg tart, for example, is listed with a 10-piece minimum and 3 days' lead time. Torn between sizes? This comparison of [personal vs whole Don chicken pie](https://donchickenpie.com/blog/personal-vs-whole-don-chicken-pie/) sets out who each one suits. For quantities, run the [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/) before you fill the cart. ## Step 4: Pick a date and time Don Pie takes advance orders. One product page asks for orders at least 90 minutes ahead; an earlier delivery announcement (2022) asked for 24 hours. For delivery to an event, we suggest ordering at least a day ahead and booking a slot that ends 90 minutes to 2 hours before you serve. The [pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) builds the timeline for you. Delivery is by third-party drivers such as Grab, Lalamove and GoGoX, on a best-effort basis. The ordering FAQ says an exact delivery time cannot be guaranteed. ## Step 5: Pay Online orders are paid by credit card. For pickup orders, the ordering FAQ says PayNow or bank transfer can be arranged by WhatsApp. The delivery fee depends on distance, with surcharges at festive peaks and for Sentosa, the CBD, malls and Changi Airport. The Chicken Pie Kitchen home page offers free islandwide delivery above $200, as of October 2026. ## Step 6: Check the confirmation carefully Orders cannot be amended or cancelled after they are placed, according to the ordering FAQ.

For best results, the ordering FAQ suggests eating the pies within 4 hours of purchase, chilling leftovers for up to 3 days (Shepherd's Pie no more than 3 days), and reheating in an air fryer at 150C for 5 minutes, then 200C for 5 minutes. Our guide to [storing, transporting and reheating pies](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/) has more. ## Bulk, corporate and charity orders For 100 pieces or more, or custom pies, contact the bakery rather than using the cart.

Chill them covered and eat within the bakery's window, which is 3 days in Don Pie's current guidance. Reheat in an oven at 150 to 180C for about 20 to 30 minutes for a personal pie, or air-fry, until the centre is piping hot (at least 75C for chicken). Buying the pies is half the job. The other half is getting them home intact, keeping them safe in a hot climate and serving them with a crisp crust. This guide covers all three, with the temperatures and times that matter. ## How do you transport pies without damage? Pies travel best flat, level and cool. Pastry is fragile and fillings shift, so a tilted box ends up with the filling against one wall. - **Carry boxes flat.** Use a flat-bottomed bag, not a plastic bag that swings. - **In a car, put boxes on a level surface,** such as the boot floor on a folded towel, not a sloping seat. - **Keep them out of the sun.** A parked car in Singapore heats up fast. Do not leave pies in the boot while you run errands. - **Crack the lid for warm pies** once you are home, so steam escapes and the crust does not go soggy. ## How long can pies sit out? Cooked pies should not sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours. The Singapore Food Agency describes 5C to 60C as the temperature danger zone, where bacteria grow fastest, and a Singapore afternoon sits right in it. For parties, put out a few pies at a time and keep the rest chilled or in a low oven; our guide to [pies for parties and birthdays](https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-parties-birthdays/) covers the serving plan. ## How long do pies keep in the fridge and freezer? | Where | Guidance | Source | |---|---|---| | Best eaten | Within 4 hours of purchase | Don Pie ordering FAQ | | Fridge, savoury pies | Up to 3 days (Shepherd's Pie not beyond 3 days) | Don Pie ordering FAQ (an older 2022 post said 5 days) | | Fridge, cooked leftovers generally | 3 to 4 days | USDA | | Fridge, sweet pies | Within 3 days | Windowsill Pies FAQ | | Freezer, baked pies | About 3 months at -18C | British Pie Week | Use the shortest figure that applies. Keep pies covered or in their box in the fridge. ## How do you reheat a pie properly? | Method | Temperature and time | Result | Best for | |---|---|---|---| | Oven, chilled personal pie | 150 to 180C for about 20 to 30 minutes | Crisp crust, even heat | The best all-round method | | Oven, chilled whole pie | 170 to 180C, foil loosely on top, 30 to 45 minutes, then 5 to 10 minutes uncovered | Even heat without burning | Party pies | | Oven, frozen whole pie | About 170C, 40 to 60 minutes with foil, then about 10 minutes without | Good, if patient | Freezer stock | | Air fryer, personal pie | Don Pie's FAQ: 150C for 5 minutes, then 200C for 5 minutes | Very crisp | One or two pies | | Microwave | Medium power in 30 to 60 second bursts | Soft pastry | Filling only; finish in an oven or air fryer | | Mini party pies (served cold) | 180C for about 15 minutes (Elijah Pies' guidance for its minis) | Crisp | Party boxes | Times are guides, because ovens, air fryers and pies vary. Always check the centre: it should be piping hot, at least 75C for chicken. Cover the top with foil if it browns before the middle is hot. A side-by-side [chicken pie reheating experiment](https://donchickenpie.com/experiments/reheating-methods-compared/) shows how much the crust differs between methods, and puff pastry needs slightly different handling: see [reheating puff pastry pies without a soggy base](https://ovenmarvel.com/technique/reheating-puff-pastry-pies/). ## Reheating checklist - [ ] Pies chilled or fresh, never left out over 2 hours - [ ] Oven preheated to 150 to 180C - [ ] Pies on a tray, not straight on the rack - [ ] Foil ready for whole pies - [ ] Timer set - [ ] Centre checked - [ ] Rested 5 minutes before cutting - [ ] Leftovers chilled within 2 hours ## How should you time reheating for an event? Work backwards from the serving time. Start reheating about 35 minutes before serving for personal pies, longer for whole pies, and stagger batches if your oven is small. The [pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) adds the reheating step to your timeline automatically. For freezer-to-oven baking, see [frozen and bake-at-home pies](https://donpieshop.com/frozen-pies-singapore/). ## Questions ### How long can pies sit out at room temperature in Singapore? No more than 2 hours. The Singapore Food Agency describes 5C to 60C as the temperature danger zone, and Singapore's heat makes the 2-hour limit important. Chill pies sooner if you can. ### How long does a chicken pie keep in the fridge? Follow the bakery. Don Pie's current ordering FAQ says up to 3 days (an older 2022 blog post said 5), and general food safety guidance for cooked leftovers is 3 to 4 days. When in doubt, use the shorter figure. ### What is the best way to reheat a pie? An oven gives the best crust. Personal pies take about 20 to 30 minutes at 150 to 180C. Air fryers are faster for one or two pies. Microwaves heat the filling but soften the pastry, so finish in an oven or air fryer if you use one. ### Can I reheat a pie more than once? It is better not to. Reheat only what you will eat, and keep the rest chilled. --- # How many pies per person? The party pie calculator URL: https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/ Published: 28 April 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Plan 1 pie portion per person for a meal with other food, 1.5 if pies are the whole meal, 1 for a pies-only snack and about 0.6 for a snack beside other food, then add 10%. A personal pie is one portion; a whole pie gives 4 portions at a meal or 6 as a snack. For more than 6 guests, let whole pies cover about 70%. [Interactive party pie calculator: guests x portion rate (1.5 meal alone, 1 meal with other food, 1 snack alone, 0.6 snack with other food) + 10% buffer; whole pie = 4 meal slices or 6 snack slices; above 6 guests whole pies cover about 70% of savoury portions; sweet pies cut into 8.] ## How does the calculator work? The calculator multiplies your guests by a portion rate, adds a buffer, splits the result between savoury and sweet, and then decides how many whole and personal pies cover the savoury share. Every rule is listed under the tool, so you can check the maths or adjust it by hand. The starting point is the size of the pies themselves. Singapore bakeries usually sell a **personal pie** that feeds one and a **whole pie** that feeds 4 to 6. Don Pie's printed menu, for example, labels them "Feeds 1" and "Feeds 4-6", terms [the Don Pie glossary](https://donpies.com/glossary/) defines alongside personal and whole. We treat a whole savoury pie as 4 slices at a meal and 6 as a snack. ## Why is the rate different for a snack and a meal? People eat more when pies are the meal than when they are a tea-time bite. And they eat less when there is other food. The four rates reflect that: | Situation | Portions per person | |---|---| | Meal, pies are the main food | 1.5 | | Meal, with other dishes | 1 | | Snack, pies only | 1 | | Snack, beside other food | 0.6 | These are our planning rules of thumb, not a bakery's rule. If your crowd is hungrier (a football team, say), move up a row. ## Why add 10%? The 10% buffer covers second helpings, the guest who brings a friend, and the pie that gets dropped. Leftover pies keep in the fridge for a few days or freeze well, so a small surplus costs little. Running out at a party costs more. ## Why split between whole and personal pies? Above six guests, the calculator lets whole pies cover about 70% of the savoury portions and personal pies the rest: - **Whole pies** are cheaper per portion and look generous on a table. - **Personal pies** serve late arrivals, children and anyone who wants their own, and they are easy to send home. For six guests or fewer, it suggests personal pies only, because cutting a whole pie for a small group creates awkward leftovers. ## Worked examples **A 25-person office tea break, other food served.** 25 x 0.6 = 15, plus 10% = 17 portions (rounded up). Mostly savoury: 3 sweet portions and 14 savoury. Two whole pies cut into 6 cover 12 portions, 2 personal pies cover the rest, and 3 individual sweet pies finish it off. In an office, many planners would simply order 14 personal savoury pies instead: see [office pantry pies](https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-office-pantry-meetings/). **A family dinner for 12, pies are the meal.** 12 x 1.5 = 18, plus 10% = 20 portions. All savoury, cut into 4 meal-size slices: 4 whole pies (16 portions) plus 4 personal pies. ## Next: when to order Quantities settled? The [pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) turns your event date into an order-by date, a collection or delivery time and a reheating time. For which types to choose, try the chooser on [the best types of pies](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/). All five tools are on the [pie buying tools](https://donpieshop.com/tools/) page. ## Questions ### How many whole pies do I need for 10 people? For 10 people at a meal with other dishes, plan 11 portions. That is two whole pies cut into 4 slices each, plus 3 personal pies, which is what the calculator returns for an all-savoury order. As a snack beside other food, about 7 portions: one whole pie cut into 6 and one personal pie. ### How do I count children? Count two young children as one adult. Older children and teenagers eat like adults, sometimes more. ### How many sweet pies should I order? One whole sweet pie per 8 dessert eaters, since dessert slices are cut thinner. If only three or four people want dessert, buy individual sweet pies instead. --- # The pie order planner URL: https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/ Published: 24 May 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: As a general guide in Singapore, order a few pies the day before, whole pies and party boxes 1 to 3 days ahead (some need up to 5), bulk orders of 100 or more a week ahead, and festive orders 3 to 4 weeks ahead. Collect about 75 minutes before serving, or book delivery to arrive about 2 hours before. Always confirm the cut-off with the bakery. [Interactive order planner: suggested order-by buffers of 1 day (a few pies), 3 days (whole pies and party boxes), 7 days (bulk 100+), 21 days (festive); collect 75 minutes before serving or delivery 2 hours before; reheat 35 minutes before; leftovers chilled within 2 hours.] ## How does the planner work out the dates? The planner starts from your serving time and works backwards. It uses four order sizes, each with a suggested buffer drawn from what Singapore bakeries publish: | Order size | Suggested order-by | Why | |---|---|---| | A few pies (under about 20) | The day before, by 3pm | Some bakeries take same-day orders, and one Don Pie product page asks for just 90 minutes, but ordering the day before secures your slot | | Party order with whole pies | 3 days before, by noon | Specialist bakers commonly ask 1 to 3 days for whole pies; Polar's party boxes need 3 to 5 days; Windowsill needs at least 3 | | Bulk or corporate, 100+ pieces | 7 days before, with an enquiry 3 days earlier | Quotes, invoices and production slots take time; Don Pie handles orders from 100 pieces as bulk | | Festive peak | 3 weeks before, with an enquiry a week earlier | Some bakeries open Christmas pre-orders about 30 days ahead; corporate gifting is best ordered by mid-November | These are buffers, not bakery rules. If the planner says your event is inside the buffer, it is not impossible: call or WhatsApp the bakery before you pay. ## What happens on the day? On the event day, the planner sets three times: 1. **Collect or receive.** Collecting about 75 minutes before serving leaves time for travel and reheating. Delivery is set about 2 hours before, because slots from third-party drivers can run late. 2. **Reheat.** About 35 minutes before serving, enough for personal pies at 150 to 180C. Whole pies take longer. 3. **Leftovers.** Two hours after serving, the cut-off for getting cooked pies back into the fridge in Singapore conditions. For the reasons behind these times, see [how to store, transport and reheat pies](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/). ## Adding the plan to your calendar The "Add reminders" button downloads a small calendar file (.ics) with reminders for ordering, reconfirming, collecting or receiving, and reheating. It works with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook. The file is created in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere. ## Before you use the planner Work out how many pies you need with the [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/). For large or festive orders, the [bulk order guide](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/) and [festive pies guide](https://donpieshop.com/festive-pies-singapore/) explain what changes. The calculator, planner and chooser are gathered on the [pie buying tools](https://donpieshop.com/tools/) page. ## Questions ### Are the lead times in the planner the bakery's own cut-offs? No. They are this guide's suggested buffers, based on lead times that Singapore bakeries publish. Every bakery sets its own cut-off, so check before you order. ### Why does the planner suggest delivery 2 hours before serving? Many bakeries use third-party drivers on a best-effort basis, so slots can run late. Two hours leaves time for a late rider and for reheating. ### Does the calendar download send my plan anywhere? No. The calendar file is built in your browser and saved to your device. Nothing is sent to us or to any bakery. --- # Pies for parties and birthdays URL: https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-parties-birthdays/ Published: 24 June 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: For a party in Singapore, plan about one pie portion per guest if other food is served, and 1.5 if pies are the meal. Order whole pies (each feeds 4 to 6) for most of it and personal pies for late arrivals and children. Add one whole sweet pie per 8 dessert eaters. Pre-order whole pies 1 to 3 days ahead. Pies are made for Singapore parties. They feed a crowd, suit both children and grandparents, and look generous on a table. The two ways to get it wrong are ordering too few and serving them lukewarm, so this guide deals with both. ## How many pies do you need for a party? A party pie order rests on three numbers: guests, portions per guest, and portions per pie. A personal pie is one portion. A whole savoury pie gives 4 portions at a meal and 6 as a snack, which matches the "feeds 4 to 6" that bakeries such as Don Pie print on their menus. Use the calculator below. It shows its working, and the rules of thumb are listed underneath it. [Interactive party pie calculator: guests x portion rate (1.5 meal alone, 1 meal with other food, 1 snack alone, 0.6 snack with other food) + 10% buffer; whole pie = 4 meal slices or 6 snack slices; above 6 guests whole pies cover about 70% of savoury portions; sweet pies cut into 8.] ## What is the right mix of whole and personal pies? For most parties, whole pies should carry about two thirds of the savoury order, with personal pies covering the rest. Here is why: - **Whole pies** are better value per portion and look good on the table. A whole Don Pie Original Chicken Pie was $33.80 on its February 2026 printed menu, against $6.80 for a personal pie, as of October 2026, so a whole pie cut six ways costs less per slice. - **Personal pies** solve the awkward moments: the guest who arrives after the whole pies are cut, children who want their own, and the friend who takes one home. For parties of six or fewer, skip the whole pies. Personal pies are simpler. ## Which types of pies work best at a party? Chicken pies are the safe base: mild, familiar and liked by children. Add one bolder savoury pie for adults, such as black pepper chicken, curry or beef, and one sweet pie for dessert. If there are vegetarians, order their pies first and label them. | Party type | Savoury base | Add | Sweet | |---|---|---|---| | Children's birthday | Mini or personal chicken pies | A few whole chicken pies for the adults | Apple pie or banana pie slices | | Adults' dinner party | Whole chicken and beef pies | A shepherd's pie tray | One whole dessert pie | | Open house or potluck | Whole chicken pies | Personal pies for grazing | Fruit pie | | Office birthday | Personal pies | Vegetarian pies, labelled | One whole sweet pie instead of a cake | If a tray is on your list, [shepherd's pie party trays](https://shepherdpie.sg/party-trays) get a full guide of their own on a site devoted to the dish, with sizes and serving counts. Our [pie type chooser and guide](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/) explains each type and what to look for. If you would rather bake the minis yourself, there is [a make-ahead recipe for mini party pies](https://donchickenpie.com/recipes/mini-party-chicken-pies/) that freezes well. ## When should you order pies for a party? Order whole pies and party boxes 1 to 3 days ahead, which is what many Singapore bakeries ask for. Some party boxes need longer: Polar Puffs & Cakes asks for 3 to 5 days, and Windowsill Pies needs at least 3 days for online orders. Personal pies for a small party can often be ordered the day before, and some shops take same-day orders. The [pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) turns your party date into an order-by date and a reheating time. ## How do you serve party pies warm? Pies taste best warm with a crisp crust. For a party, the trick is timing: 1. **Collect or receive the pies 75 to 120 minutes before serving.** 2. **Keep the boxes slightly open** so steam escapes and the crust does not go soggy. 3. **Reheat in batches.** Personal pies take about 20 to 30 minutes in an oven at 150 to 180C. Whole pies take longer; cover the top loosely with foil if it browns too fast. 4. **Check the centre is piping hot** before serving, at least 75C for chicken. 5. **Do not leave pies out for more than 2 hours** in Singapore heat. Chill leftovers promptly. More detail is in [how to store, transport and reheat pies](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/), and a test kitchen's notes on [batch timing and holding pies warm](https://donchickenpie.com/experiments/serving-chicken-pies-warm-for-a-crowd/) help with bigger parties. ## Can a pie be the birthday cake? A whole sweet pie makes a good birthday centrepiece, and it saves ordering a separate cake. Fruit pies, pecan pie and banana pies cut cleanly into 8 slices and hold a candle well. Sweet pie specialists such as Windowsill Pies and Elijah Pies sell whole pies, usually by pre-order. For gift-style presentation, see the [pie gifting guide](https://donpieshop.com/pie-gifting-guide/). ## Party pie checklist - [ ] Head count confirmed, with children counted as half - [ ] Dietary needs noted - [ ] Order placed with time to spare - [ ] Oven or air fryer free 40 minutes before serving - [ ] Knife, server, plates and napkins ready - [ ] Labels for vegetarian and spicy pies - [ ] Space in the fridge for leftovers ## Questions ### How many pies do I need for 30 people? For 30 guests at a meal with other food on the table, plan about 33 savoury portions including a 10% buffer. That is 6 whole pies cut into 4 slices each, plus 9 personal pies. If pies are the whole meal, raise it to about 50 portions. The [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/) gives the exact split for your mix. ### Can a pie replace a birthday cake? Yes, and it is a nice change. A whole fruit or dessert pie cuts into 8 slices, takes a candle well and needs no reheating. Order it from a sweet pie specialist a few days ahead. ### Are mini pies better than full-size pies for a party? Mini pies suit standing parties and children, because they need no cutting or cutlery. Full-size personal pies are better value per portion for adults at a sit-down meal. --- # Pies for the office pantry and meetings URL: https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-office-pantry-meetings/ Published: 9 July 2026 Quick answer: For an office meeting in Singapore, order one personal pie per person for a tea break and 1.5 per person if pies replace lunch, plus about 10%. Personal pies beat whole pies at the office because they need no cutting. Order a day or more ahead, book delivery to arrive 60 to 90 minutes early, and give the rider the loading bay details. Office pie orders fail in predictable ways: too few for the floor, delivered to the wrong lobby, cold by the time the meeting breaks. This guide is the plan we would use for a meeting of 10 or a pantry spread for 100. ## How many pies per person for an office order? Office appetites depend on the time of day and what else is served. Use these figures as a starting point: | Situation | Pies per person | For 20 people | |---|---|---| | Morning or afternoon break, with coffee | 1 personal pie | About 22 | | Pantry treat, people drop by | 0.6 to 0.8 personal pies | About 14 to 18 | | Working lunch, pies are the meal | 1.5 personal pies | About 30 to 33 | | Lunch with sandwiches or salads too | 1 personal pie | About 22 | The 10% buffer covers the visitor from another team who smells the pastry. For your exact number, use the [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/). ## Which pies suit an office? Personal pies are the office format. They need no cutting, travel back to a desk on a napkin, and portion themselves. Within that: - **Chicken pies** are the default: mild, familiar and easy to eat. - **One stronger flavour** such as black pepper or curry gives people a choice. - **Vegetarian pies** for anyone who needs them, ordered first and clearly labelled. - **Avoid tray bakes** such as shepherd's pie unless there is a seated lunch with plates and cutlery. Check dietary needs early. For halal requirements, choose a seller with its own Halal certification. Don Pie, for example, uses no pork and no lard but is not Halal-certified. ## When should you order pies for a meeting? Order a day or more ahead for most office orders, and 3 days or more for 50 people and up. For 100 pieces or more, Don Pie and other bakeries treat it as a bulk order, so start the conversation a week ahead. See [bulk and corporate pie orders](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/). ## How do you get pies delivered to an office tower? Office deliveries in Singapore run into building rules. Bakeries often add a surcharge for CBD and mall drop-offs because riders need to park and queue. To make the handover smooth: 1. **Give the full address:** tower name, block, level, unit and company name. 2. **Name the entrance:** main lobby, side lobby or loading bay. Many towers send deliveries to a loading bay with sign-in. 3. **Give a phone number that will be answered,** plus a backup colleague. 4. **Ask for arrival 60 to 90 minutes before the meeting.** Third-party delivery slots are often best-effort. 5. **Pre-register the rider** if your building requires visitor registration. If the office is near a Don Pie kiosk, such as the [Wisma Atria kiosk](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/wisma-atria/) for Orchard, collecting can be faster than delivery for orders under about 20 pies. Fees and slots are explained in [pie delivery in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-singapore/). ## How do you keep office pies warm? Office pantries rarely have a full oven. Plan for that: - **Time the arrival close to the break,** not first thing in the morning. - **Keep the box lids open a crack** so the pastry stays crisp. - **Use the pantry microwave sparingly:** 20 to 30 seconds per pie at medium power warms the filling but softens the crust. There are tricks to [microwave a chicken pie without a soggy base](https://donchickenpie.com/experiments/microwave-chicken-pie-rescue/) if that is all you have. - **Clear away within 2 hours.** Cooked pies should not sit out longer than that in Singapore conditions. Chill leftovers. ## Office pie order checklist - [ ] Head count from the meeting invite, plus 10% - [ ] Dietary needs collected - [ ] Order placed at least a day ahead - [ ] Invoice or receipt details sent - [ ] Building delivery rules checked - [ ] Delivery slot ends 60 to 90 minutes before the break - [ ] Napkins, plates and labels ready - [ ] Leftover plan For recurring orders, such as a monthly town hall, ask the bakery whether it offers corporate accounts, and keep this checklist pinned. ## Questions ### How many pies should I order for a 20-person meeting? For a mid-morning or afternoon break, about 22 personal pies (one each plus 10%). If pies are lunch, about 30 to 33. Add a few vegetarian pies if anyone needs them. ### Should I order whole pies or personal pies for the office? Personal pies. They need no knife, no plates beyond a napkin, and people can take one back to their desk. Whole pies suit seated team lunches in a meeting room. ### Can pie shops send an invoice to my company? Many specialist bakeries handle corporate orders and invoices, especially for bulk orders. Ask before ordering, and give the company name and billing details with the order. --- # Bulk and corporate pie orders URL: https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/ Published: 9 June 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: To bulk order pies in Singapore, contact the bakery directly a week or more ahead with the quantity, pie types, date, time, address and billing details. Bakeries treat large orders separately: Don Pie quotes bulk orders from 100 pieces upward, and party boxes elsewhere need 2 to 5 days. Get the quote, delivery terms and payment method in writing before you confirm. A bulk pie order is a small production job. The bakery has to schedule dough, ovens, boxes and drivers around your date, which is why the process is different from adding pies to a cart. Here is how to run it. ## What is different about a bulk pie order? A bulk pie order in Singapore usually means 100 pieces or more, or any order that needs custom work. It differs from a normal order in four ways: 1. **It is quoted, not checked out.** You email or message the bakery and receive a quote. 2. **It needs more notice.** Production slots fill up, especially near festive seasons. 3. **Payment and paperwork vary.** Companies often need invoices, purchase orders or PayNow to a business account. 4. **Delivery is planned.** Large orders may come in several boxes or crates, sometimes by van. ## Who takes bulk pie orders? | Seller | What they offer for large orders | Notes | |---|---|---| | Don Pie (Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab) | Bulk orders from 100 pieces upward, custom pies, a government and institutional vendor line | Contact by hotline or WhatsApp, or email for charity and school requests | | Polar Puffs & Cakes | Party boxes, including mini chicken pie boxes | 3 to 5 days' lead time; Halal-certified | | Windowsill Pies | Corporate gifting and orders | Sweet pies mainly; 3-day minimum for online orders | | Kopiboy | 20 mini chicken pies for $41 | 2 days' notice, $70 minimum | | 603 Tau Sar Piah | Mini chicken pies for corporate events | Catering enquiries | | Elijah Pies | Mini pie party boxes and event enquiries | Box of 49 minis listed at $165 | Terms as published on each seller's site or reported by its listings, as of October 2026. Confirm with the seller before you plan around them. If the event suits trays rather than individual pies, [shepherdpie.sg's price guide](https://shepherdpie.sg/shepherds-pie-price-singapore) sets out what shepherd's pie trays cost. ## How far ahead should you order 100 pies or more? Plan on at least a week for a bulk pie order, and three to four weeks in November and December. Party boxes from some bakeries need 2 to 5 days on their own; a bulk order adds quoting and scheduling on top. The [pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) has a "bulk" setting that builds in an enquiry date. ## What should you put in a bulk enquiry? A complete first message saves a day of back-and-forth. Include: - the quantity, split by pie type and size; - the date and the latest acceptable arrival time; - the delivery address, with loading bay or access notes, or the pickup outlet; - dietary requirements, such as vegetarian, no pork or halal-certified; - packaging needs, such as individual bags or labels; - billing details: company name, address, purchase order number; and - a contact who will answer on the day. If the event needs halal-certified food, [Pie Singapore's halal pies guide](https://piesingapore.com/halal-pies-singapore/) lists certified sellers to approach. Don Pie uses no pork and no lard but is not Halal-certified. ## Bulk order checklist - [ ] Final quantity agreed internally - [ ] Enquiry sent at least a week ahead - [ ] Written quote received - [ ] Payment method and deadline agreed - [ ] Cancellation and change terms confirmed - [ ] Delivery window and access confirmed - [ ] Labelling agreed - [ ] Receiving team briefed - [ ] Reheating or serving plan in place - [ ] Problem contact saved ## How do you receive a large pie delivery? Count the boxes against the quote while the rider is there, and open a sample from each pie type. Photograph any crushed or wrong boxes immediately. Don Pie, for example, asks customers to raise problems within 2 hours of receipt, with photos. Keep the boxes flat, out of direct sun and away from aircon vents blowing on them. If you are serving more than 2 hours after arrival, chill the pies and reheat them in batches. The [storing and reheating guide](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/) has the temperatures. ## Bulk orders from Don Pie For Don Pie bulk orders, contact the bakery directly rather than filling the online cart. The contact details and steps are on [how to order from Don Pie, step by step](https://donpieshop.com/order-from-don-pie/). For a regular office pantry rather than a one-off event, see [pies for the office pantry](https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-office-pantry-meetings/). ## Questions ### What counts as a bulk pie order? It depends on the bakery, but orders from about 100 pieces are usually handled as bulk or corporate orders, outside the normal online cart. Don Pie, for example, takes bulk orders from 100 pieces upward. ### Do bakeries give a discount for bulk pie orders? Some do, but it is not guaranteed. The more reliable saving is free delivery, because bulk orders usually pass the free-delivery threshold. Ask for a written quote. ### How should a school or charity request pies? Write to the bakery with the item, size, quantity, date and the organisation's details. Don Pie, for example, asks charity and school requests to go by email to its marketing address with those details. --- # Festive pies: Christmas and other seasons URL: https://donpieshop.com/festive-pies-singapore/ Published: 24 September 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: For festive pies in Singapore, order three to four weeks ahead for Christmas and year-end, because slots fill early and some bakeries open pre-orders about 30 days ahead. Expect higher free-delivery thresholds, surcharges on public holiday eves and fixed delivery windows. Christmas favourites include shepherd's pie trays, whole savoury pies and boxes of mince pies. Festive season changes the rules of buying pies in Singapore. Order windows open earlier, delivery slots narrow, and the most popular items sell out. The good news is that festive buying is predictable once you know the pattern. ## When should you order festive pies? The safe rule for Christmas and year-end pies in Singapore is three to four weeks ahead. The reasons, from what bakeries publish: - **Pre-orders open early.** Burnt Ends Bakery's 2025 Christmas minced pies opened delivery pre-orders 30 days ahead, for delivery or pickup between 18 and 24 December. - **Notice periods hold firm.** Violet Oon's 2025 Christmas form asked for 3 days' notice by 3pm, with higher delivery charges on public holiday eves. - **Thresholds rise.** Marymount Bakehouse raised its free-delivery threshold to $380 from 9 to 31 December. - **Corporate gifting runs earlier still.** For company gifts, aim to order by mid-November. The [pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) has a festive setting that builds these buffers in. ## What pies do people order for Christmas in Singapore? | Festive pie | Why it works | Example sellers (2025 to 2026) | |---|---|---| | Shepherd's pie trays | A main course that feeds a table and reheats well | Violet Oon, The Shepherd's Pie | | Whole savoury pies | Easy to cut and share at open houses | Don Pie, The Shepherd's Pie | | Mince pies | A Christmas classic, sold in boxes | Burnt Ends Bakery ($36 for 6 in 2025) | | Mini pie boxes | Grazing tables and office parties | Elijah Pies (a Christmas mini pie box in 2025) | | Whole sweet pies | Dessert or a gift | Windowsill Pies, Elijah Pies | Festive menus change each year. Use this as a guide to what kinds of pies sell, then check each bakery's current list. Before you budget for the table, it helps to know [what a shepherd's pie tray costs](https://shepherdpie.sg/shepherds-pie-price-singapore) in Singapore. [Pie Singapore's festive orders guide](https://piesingapore.com/pies-for-parties-and-festive-seasons/) tracks more seasonal sellers. ## What about other festive seasons? Singapore's calendar gives pie buyers more than one peak: - **Chinese New Year:** open houses and reunion gatherings make whole pies and mini pies popular, and bakeries close for some of the public holidays. Order early and check closure dates. - **Hari Raya:** for halal guests, choose sellers with their own Halal certification, such as Polar Puffs & Cakes, Kopi & Tarts or The Shepherd's Pie, as each states. - **Mid-Autumn:** some bakeries make seasonal pies. Don Pie has listed a Lotus Pie with lotus paste, pine nuts and salted egg yolks, with an early-bird price. - **Deepavali and National Day:** fewer pie specials, but open houses still benefit from whole pies ordered a few days ahead. ## How do you avoid festive delivery problems? Festive delivery in Singapore is busier and slower. Five habits help: 1. **Order early, then confirm a week before** the slot. 2. **Pick a morning slot** where offered. Afternoon slots on 24 and 31 December are the most crowded. 3. **Read the surcharge rules.** Public holiday eves often cost more. 4. **Collect if you can.** It removes the delivery window entirely. 5. **Have a plan B,** such as a kiosk visit the day before for personal pies. ## Festive pies for large groups For year-end office parties and big family gatherings, festive orders are often bulk orders. Start with our [bulk and corporate guide](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/) and its checklist, and use the [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/) for quantities. For festive gifts, see the [pie gifting guide](https://donpieshop.com/pie-gifting-guide/). ## Questions ### When should I order Christmas pies in Singapore? Three to four weeks before Christmas for a specific delivery slot, and by mid-November for corporate gifting. Some bakeries open Christmas pre-orders about 30 days ahead and deliver only in a set window, such as 18 to 24 December. ### Do festive pie deliveries cost more? Often. Several bakeries add surcharges on public holiday eves or raise free-delivery thresholds in December. Marymount Bakehouse, for example, raised its threshold from $300 to $380 from 9 to 31 December in its published terms. ### Are there pies for Mid-Autumn or Chinese New Year? Some bakeries make seasonal specials. Don Pie's ordering site has listed a Lotus Pie with lotus paste, pine nuts and salted egg yolks for Mid-Autumn. Seasonal items change every year, so check closer to the date. --- # The pie gifting guide URL: https://donpieshop.com/pie-gifting-guide/ Published: 10 September 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: The best pies to give in Singapore are whole sweet or fruit pies, which travel well, need no reheating and keep for a few days in the fridge. Savoury pies work as gifts when the recipient will eat them the same day. Order gift pies a few days ahead, time delivery for when someone is home, and include storage and reheating notes. A pie is a generous gift. It feeds a household, it is clearly homely, and it costs about the same as a decent bouquet. The trick is choosing a pie that survives the trip and the recipient's schedule. ## Which pies make the best gifts? Gift pies in Singapore should tick three boxes: they travel without damage, they taste good without reheating or reheat easily, and they keep for at least a day or two. | Pie | As a gift | Keeps | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | Whole fruit or sweet pie | Excellent | A few days chilled, per sweet pie bakers | Serve chilled or at room temperature | | Whole savoury pie | Good, for same-day eating | About 3 days chilled, per Don Pie's current FAQ | Needs reheating | | Personal savoury pies, boxed | Good for a household | Eat soon, or chill | Easy to share out | | Mini pie party box | Good for a gathering | Same day | Some arrive cold, to reheat | | Frozen bake-at-home pies | Practical | Months frozen | Only if they have freezer space | For shops that do whole sweet pies well, [Pie Singapore's sweet pie shortlist](https://piesingapore.com/best-sweet-pies-singapore/) is a good place to start. ## Gift ideas by occasion - **New parents:** a whole savoury pie and a few personal pies they can reheat one-handed. Practical beats pretty. - **Housewarming:** a whole chicken pie to share on moving day, when the kitchen is still in boxes. - **Thank-you to a team or client:** personal pies for the office, delivered at mid-morning. See [office pantry pies](https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-office-pantry-meetings/). - **Festive gifts:** whole sweet pies or mince pie boxes. Order early: see [festive pies](https://donpieshop.com/festive-pies-singapore/). - **Get well soon:** a mild chicken pie, plus reheating notes so nobody has to think. - **For a cake lover:** Don Pie's kitchen also sells kueh lapis and other cakes by the slice, half or whole; see [what is on the cake menu](https://donpies.com/menu/kueh-lapis-and-cakes/). ## How far ahead should you order a gift pie? Order gift pies at least two or three days ahead. Sweet pie specialists such as Windowsill Pies ask for at least 3 days for online orders. Savoury pies can often be ordered the day before. For corporate gifts in November and December, order by mid-November. ## How do you make sure a gift pie arrives well? 1. **Choose a slot when someone is home.** A pie left at the door in Singapore heat will not last. 2. **Give the recipient's mobile number,** so the rider can call. 3. **Ask for flat transport.** Mention "keep level" in the delivery notes. 4. **Warn the recipient** if it is a surprise for someone else in the household. ## How do you make a pie feel like a present? Presentation is cheap and makes the difference. Ask the bakery whether it offers gift notes, ribbons or gift boxes; some sweet pie bakers sell gift cards and toppers. If you are delivering it yourself, a plain kraft box tied with ribbon, plus a handwritten tag, does the job. Always include a short card with: - what the pie is; - whether to chill it, and for how long; and - how to reheat it, if it is savoury. Our [store and reheat guide](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/) has wording you can copy. ## Corporate pie gifting For client or staff gifts at scale, treat the job as a bulk order: get a quote, confirm labels and packaging, and stagger deliveries if addresses are spread across the island. Our [bulk and corporate guide](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/) has a checklist that saves your progress. ## Questions ### What is the best pie to give as a gift? A whole sweet or fruit pie, such as apple, pecan or a cream pie from a sweet pie specialist. It needs no reheating, survives a short journey and keeps in the fridge for a few days, per the bakery's own guidance. ### Can I send a savoury pie as a gift? Yes, if it will be eaten soon. A whole chicken pie makes a warm housewarming or new-parent gift. Include a note on reheating and tell the recipient to refrigerate it within 2 hours. ### Can pie shops deliver a gift directly to someone else? Most bakeries that deliver let you enter a different delivery address and recipient. Give the recipient's phone number and check they will be home for the slot. --- # Pie buying questions, answered URL: https://donpieshop.com/faq/ Last updated: October 2026 Quick answer: The most asked questions: Don Pie has five outlets (Tyrwhitt Road in Jalan Besar plus kiosks at AMK Hub, Wisma Atria, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza) and none in Toa Payoh.

We are not a shop: you order from the bakeries direct. Facts are drawn from bakeries' own published pages and dated reviews, checked in October 2026. ## Who publishes donpieshop.com? donpieshop.com is a pie buying guide, not a shop: we take no orders, and you buy from the bakeries direct. We cover Don Pie in more depth than any other seller. ## What is Don Pie? Don Pie is the chicken pie of **Chef Don Lim**, who founded the Don Pie shop ("DON: Your Personal Pie Club") at Far East Square in 2000 (some sources say 2001) and dates his recipe to 1983. Public sources say he sold the Don Pie brand around 2014 to 2015, cooked crab bee hoon in Toa Payoh North from about 2015, and sold his pies again as "Don's Pie & Cake" in Toa Payoh from late 2019. In 2021, with his nephew, he co-founded **Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab** at 39 Tyrwhitt Road in Jalan Besar, where the pies are baked today under the **DonChef** name. DonChef is the name Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab bakes under today. Every pie that leaves the kitchen is a DonChef pie, made to the original recipe that Don Pie founder and kitchen co-founder Chef Don Lim created in 1983. Chef Don Lim still appears at the kitchen's events. For the longer history, see the profile of [Chef Don Lim, the founder of Don Pie](https://donpies.com/chef-don-lim/) on donpies.com and [the Original Don story](https://originaldon.com/story/) on originaldon.com. On this site, "Don Pie", "Don pies" and "Don's pie" mean those pies, sold at the five current outlets: Tyrwhitt Road, and kiosks at AMK Hub, Wisma Atria, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza. The brand's own tagline is "Singapore's original Chicken Pie, since 1983". The kitchen uses no pork and no lard and is not Halal-certified. ## What is this guide for? This guide exists for people about to buy pies: where to get them, how delivery works, how many to order, which types suit the occasion and how to deal with a pie shop. We organise it around those jobs, not around rankings. ## How do we research and date our facts? - **Bakeries' own pages first.** Prices, hours, fees, minimums and lead times come from sellers' own websites, menus and order forms wherever possible. - **Dated reviews second.** Where a seller publishes nothing, we use dated reviews from established Singapore food media, and we say when a figure is old or unconfirmed. - **Everything is dated.** Facts on this site were checked in October 2026. Prices, hours and terms change, so every page asks you to confirm with the bakery before you rely on them. - **Conflicts are shown, not hidden.** Where a bakery's own pages disagree, such as two different lead times, we show both and suggest the safer one. - **Sources are linked.** Most guides end with the sources we checked. - **We link out where others go deeper.** When a related site covers a topic in more depth, such as Don Pie's dated history or reheating tests, we link to it rather than repeat it. - **Guides are dated.** Each guide shows when it was first published, and guides that quote prices, hours or terms also show the date we last re-checked them. The [archive on our guides index](https://donpieshop.com/guides/) lists them by month. ## How do we treat other pie shops? We describe other sellers fairly, using their own published terms and dated reviews. We do not rank shops against Don Pie, we do not make claims about other sellers that we cannot support, and we tell you when a well-known shop has closed so you do not waste a trip. Our [how to choose a pie shop](https://donpieshop.com/how-to-choose-a-pie-shop/) checklist applies to every shop, Don Pie included. ## What we do not do - We do not sell pies, take orders or handle payments. - We do not publish customer testimonials, star ratings or review scores. - We do not invent prices, hours or lead times. If we could not confirm something, we leave it out or say so. - We do not track you. There are no analytics or advertising scripts on this site. The checklists save your ticks in your own browser only. ## About the photographs The photographs on this site are illustrations created with an AI image tool to show buying moments, such as a pie box at a door or a pie on a table. They are not photographs of any real shop, outlet or brand's product. ## About the tools The [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/), [order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/), pie type chooser and channel comparison use simple, published rules of thumb, shown on each tool. They are guides, not bakery rules. The order planner's calendar file is created in your browser and is not sent anywhere. ## Corrections If a fact here is out of date, the bakery's own site is the authority. We review the guide regularly and update the "Last updated" date when we do. Last updated: October 2026. --- # Pie buying tools URL: https://donpieshop.com/tools/ Published: 28 April 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: donpieshop.com has five free pie buying tools: a party pie calculator (how many personal and whole pies), an order planner (when to order, collect and reheat, with calendar reminders), a pie type chooser, a buying channel comparison, and checklists that save your ticks in your browser. Every tool shows the rules it uses. Most pie orders raise the same four questions: how many, when, which kind, and how to get them. Each tool below answers one. They run in your browser, show their working, and send nothing anywhere. ## Party pie calculator The party pie calculator turns a guest count, an appetite and a savoury and sweet mix into a number of personal and whole pies, with a line-by-line explanation. Use it for parties, meetings and family meals. [Open the party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/) ## Pie order planner The pie order planner turns an event date and serving time into a timeline: when to order, when to reconfirm, when to collect or receive delivery, when to reheat and when leftovers go back in the fridge. It can export reminders to your calendar. [Open the pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/) ## Pie type chooser The chooser asks three questions (occasion, eaters, reheating) and ranks the pie types that fit. Try it here: [Interactive pie type chooser: occasion, eaters and reheating options lead to recommended pie types.] ## Buying channel comparison Walk-in, pre-order pickup, bakery delivery or a delivery app? The comparison lights up the best channel for what matters to you. It lives on the [pickup versus delivery guide](https://donpieshop.com/pickup-vs-delivery/) and the home page. ## Checklists that remember your ticks Several guides carry checklists that save your progress in your browser, so you can come back to them: | Checklist | Where | Use it for | |---|---|---| | Bulk pie order checklist | [Bulk and corporate orders](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/) | Orders of 100 pies or more | | Office pie order checklist | [Office pantry pies](https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-office-pantry-meetings/) | Meetings and pantry spreads | | Party pie checklist | [Party and birthday pies](https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-parties-birthdays/) | Birthdays and gatherings | | Before you pay for delivery | [Pie delivery](https://donpieshop.com/pie-delivery-singapore/) | Any delivery order | | Reheating checklist | [Store, transport and reheat](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/) | Getting pies hot and safe | ## A note on the rules The tools use rules of thumb, not any bakery's policy. Lead times are suggested buffers based on what Singapore bakeries publish; portion rates are our own planning rules of thumb. Always confirm cut-offs, prices and fees with the bakery you order from. --- # The best types of pies, and which to order URL: https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/ Published: 17 April 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: The best type of pie depends on the job. Chicken pies are the safest crowd-pleaser and suit offices and parties. Beef and steak pies are richer, for adults and dinners. Shepherd's and cottage pies are tray bakes for sit-down meals. Mushroom pies keep vegetarians fed. Fruit and sweet pies double as dessert or a gift and need no reheating. "Which pie should I get?" sounds like a matter of taste, but for a buyer it is mostly logistics. Who is eating, where, and with what oven? This guide sorts the main pie types by the job they do well. ## What are the main types of pies in Singapore? Most pies sold in Singapore fall into five families. Each links to a buying guide with what to look for, who sells it and how to serve it. | Pie type | What it is | Best for | Reheat needs | |---|---|---|---| | [Chicken pie](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/chicken-pie/) | Pastry around chicken in gravy or cream sauce, often with potato and vegetables | Offices, parties, children | Easy: oven, air fryer, or eat warm | | [Beef and steak pie](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/beef-steak-pie/) | Beef mince or chunks in rich gravy | Adults, dinners, festive tables | Oven for best results | | [Shepherd's and cottage pie](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/shepherds-cottage-pie/) | Savoury filling under mashed potato, often a tray | Sit-down meals, potlucks | Oven needed | | [Mushroom and vegetarian pie](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/mushroom-vegetarian-pie/) | Mushroom, vegetable or plant-based fillings | Mixed groups with vegetarians | Like chicken pies | | [Fruit and sweet pies](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/fruit-sweet-pies/) | Apple, pecan, banana, cream and meringue pies | Dessert, birthdays, gifts | Usually none | There are also local twists: black pepper and curry chicken pies, chilli crab pies and seafood pot pies. They sit within these families for buying purposes. For how Singapore pies differ from British and Aussie ones, see [pie types explained](https://piesingapore.com/pie-types-explained/), and for where the local chicken pie sits among chicken pies worldwide, the international reference chickenpie.net has a guide to [chicken pie in Singapore](https://chickenpie.net/guides/chicken-pie-in-singapore). One newer local twist is [the Singapore Pie](https://www.singaporepies.com/the-pie/) from the DonChef kitchen: soya sauce chicken, rice and a braised egg in pastry. ## Which pie suits your occasion? Answer three questions and the chooser ranks the types that fit. The quick rules are underneath if you prefer to skim. [Interactive pie type chooser: occasion, eaters and reheating options lead to recommended pie types.] ## Personal, whole or mini? Pie size matters as much as the filling. Singapore bakeries sell three sizes: - **Personal pies** feed one. They are the easiest format for offices, takeaways and children. - **Whole pies** feed 4 to 6, depending on appetite. They are cheaper per portion and look generous on a table. Don Pie's menu, for example, prints "Feeds 1" for personal and "Feeds 4-6" for whole. - **Mini pies** are bite-size, sold in party boxes. They suit standing events and grazing tables. The [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/) works out the split between whole and personal pies for you. ## Heartland, premium or gourmet? Within each type, price bands tell you what to expect. As a snapshot from 2026 menus and reviews: | Band | Personal savoury pie | What you get | |---|---|---| | Heartland bakery | About $1.50 to $4 | Smaller, simpler pies, great value for snacks | | Premium specialist | About $6 to $9 | Bigger pies with generous fillings, consistent recipes | | Gourmet cafe | About $13 to $19 | Modern fillings, sourdough or special crusts | None of these is "better" in the abstract. A $3.20 chicken pie is the right buy for an after-school snack; a $6.80 specialist pie is the right buy when the pie is the meal. ## How do you choose a mix for a group? For most groups, choose one safe savoury base, one stronger savoury option and one sweet pie: 1. **Base:** chicken pies, about 60 to 70% of the savoury order. 2. **Second savoury:** beef, black pepper, curry or shepherd's, about 30 to 40%. 3. **Vegetarian:** enough for the vegetarians plus one or two, labelled. 4. **Sweet:** one whole sweet pie per 8 dessert eaters. Then decide when to order with the [pie order planner](https://donpieshop.com/pie-order-planner/). If you want pies to keep in the freezer instead, see [frozen and bake-at-home pies](https://donpieshop.com/frozen-pies-singapore/). ## Questions ### What is the most popular type of pie in Singapore? Chicken pie. It appears on the menus of heartland bakeries, cafe chains and specialist kitchens alike, from about $1.80 to $9 for a personal pie, as of 2026. ### What is the difference between shepherd's pie and cottage pie? Traditionally, shepherd's pie is made with lamb and cottage pie with beef, both under mashed potato. In Singapore the name shepherd's pie is often used for any mash-topped pie, including chicken versions, so read the filling description. ### Which pies are best if I cannot reheat them? Sweet and fruit pies, which are served chilled or at room temperature, and personal savoury pies eaten within 2 hours of arrival. --- # Chicken pie: a buyer's guide URL: https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/chicken-pie/ Published: 12 May 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: A Singapore chicken pie is a pastry pie filled with chicken in gravy or cream sauce, usually with potato, carrot and peas, and in the Hainanese style half a hard-boiled egg. Heartland bakeries sell small ones for about $1.50 to $4; specialists such as Don Pie sell larger personal pies for about $6 to $9 and whole pies that feed 4 to 6. Chicken pie is Singapore's default pie. It turns up in school canteens, office pantries, hotel cafes and birthday tables. For a buyer, the main decision is which style and size suits the occasion. ## What styles of chicken pie can you buy? Chicken pies in Singapore come in three broad styles: | Style | What it is like | Price per personal pie | Examples | |---|---|---|---| | Old-school heartland | Small pie, creamy filling of diced chicken, carrot, potato and peas | About $1.50 to $4 | Balmoral Bakery (about $1.80 in 2024), Polar Puffs & Cakes ($3.20), Kopi & Tarts ($3.20) | | Premium Hainanese-style | Larger pie, chunky chicken, potato, vegetables, spices, half an egg | About $6 to $9 | Don Pie ($6.80 personal on its February 2026 menu) | | Gourmet and cafe | Puff or sourdough crusts, cream and mushroom, truffle or seafood twists | About $8 to $19 | Délifrance ($8.50 to $8.90), Marymount Bakehouse (from about $16.90) | These styles sit inside the wider family in our guide to [the best types of pies](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/).

From a buyer's point of view, four things separate a good chicken pie from a disappointing one: 1. **Filling to pastry ratio.** You want a pie that is full to the lid, not a pastry shell with sauce. 2. **Recognisable chicken.** Chunks rather than shreds, ideally leg meat, which stays moist. 3. **Crust that holds.** A crust that stays crisp after reheating, not one that collapses into steam. 4. **Freshness policy.** Some kitchens bake daily in small batches; Don Pie, for one, describes a "zero overnight pies" policy. ## About DonChef's Original Chicken Pie DonChef's Original Chicken Pie follows the recipe Chef Don Lim, the founder of Don Pie, created in 1983, and the Tyrwhitt Road kitchen he co-founded still bakes it. It has a golden, flaky crust around chunky chicken, potato, vegetables and a spice blend, with half a hard-boiled egg. The egg is a Hainanese-style hallmark, and originaldon.com explains [why there is half an egg in a Singapore chicken pie](https://originaldon.com/craft-notes/the-half-egg/). The brand calls it "Singapore's original Chicken Pie, since 1983". Variants on the same menu include Black Pepper Chicken, Chicken Shepherd's (the Black Pepper filling under baked mash) and Curry Pie. Reviewers have described it in different ways: some call the crust buttery and flaky, others more biscuit-like than French pastry. We use the brand's own phrase, "golden, flaky crust", and there is [a longer note on why it is not called shortcrust](https://originaldon.com/craft-notes/golden-flaky-crust/). The kitchen uses no pork and no lard and is not Halal-certified. Our [Don Pie shop guide](https://donpieshop.com/don-pie-shop/) lists the five outlets that sell it. ## Personal or whole chicken pies? For offices and children, buy personal chicken pies. For seated meals and parties, whole chicken pies are better value: a whole pie feeds 4 to 6. As a reference, Don Pie's February 2026 menu listed a whole Original Chicken Pie at $33.80 against $6.80 for a personal one, as of October 2026. Check the official site for current prices. ## How do you keep a chicken pie at its best? Eat chicken pies warm, within a few hours of buying if you can. Reheat chilled pies in an oven at 150 to 180C for about 20 to 30 minutes for a personal pie, or use an air fryer, and check that the centre reaches at least 75C. Do not leave them at room temperature for more than 2 hours. The full method is in [how to store, transport and reheat pies](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/). ## Ordering chicken pies for delivery For delivery options, fees and halal status side by side, read [chicken pie delivery in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/chicken-pie-delivery-singapore/). For a bigger crowd, the [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/) gives quantities. ## Questions ### Why is there an egg in some Singapore chicken pies? Half a hard-boiled egg is a hallmark of the old-school Hainanese-style chicken pie found in Singapore. Don Pie's chicken pie includes one, and reviewers often mention it. ### Where can I buy a halal chicken pie? Polar Puffs & Cakes and Kopi & Tarts both state that they are Halal-certified and sell chicken pies at about $3.20. Check the current certificate before ordering for halal guests. ### How long does a chicken pie keep? Don Pie's current FAQ suggests eating within 4 hours of purchase for the best results and chilling for up to 3 days. Keep it covered in the fridge and reheat until piping hot. --- # Beef and steak pies: a buyer's guide URL: https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/beef-steak-pie/ Published: 5 June 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Beef pies in Singapore come as Aussie-style mince pies, British steak and ale pies, and slow-cooked beef chunk pies. They cost more than chicken pies, from about $9 to $20 for a personal pie at cafes and specialists, and they suit adults and dinner tables. Reheat them in an oven so the gravy heats through without drying the crust. Beef pies are the dinner pies. They are heavier and richer than chicken pies, they cost more, and they make a buffet feel like a proper meal. Buy them for adults and seated tables, and keep chicken pies for the grazers. ## What kinds of beef pie can you buy in Singapore? | Style | What it is | Typical price | Examples | |---|---|---|---| | Aussie meat pie | Minced beef in gravy, hand-sized | From about $10 | Simply Good Pies (singles about $10.50 to $21 across 2021 to 2026 sources) | | Steak and ale or pub pie | Chunks of beef in a dark, beer-based gravy | About $20 at pubs | Pig N Whistle steak and ale ($19.90 in 2022) | | Slow-cooked beef chunk pie | Premium beef cooked down for hours | About $9 to $14 personal | Don Pie Beef Pie ($13.80 personal, $58.80 whole on its February 2026 menu) | | Beef goulash and rendang pies | Spiced beef with a local or European twist | About $9 | The Egyptian Baker beef goulash pie ($9), The Shepherd's Pie beef rendang | | Beef black pepper pies | Peppery beef filling | Varies | Cottage Pies Cafe black pepper steak (price not confirmed) | All prices are snapshots from menus and reviews. Check with the seller before you buy. For a ranked look at what is on sale, see the [best meat pie in Singapore](https://piesingapore.com/best-meat-pie-singapore/) round-up. ## When should you choose beef pies? Beef pies earn their higher price when: - the eaters are adults with good appetites; - the pies are the main course, not a snack; - it is a festive or dinner occasion; and - you have an oven to reheat them properly. They are less suited to children's parties, quick office breaks, or events where pies sit out for a while. Rich gravy fillings are best eaten hot. ## What makes a good beef pie? A good beef pie has tender meat, not grey chewy cubes, and gravy thick enough to stay inside the pie when cut. The crust should be firm enough to hold the filling. Don Pie describes its Beef Pie as premium New Zealand beef slow-cooked with a touch of wine, which places it in the slow-cooked chunk style. There are [fuller tasting notes on that pie](https://donpies.com/menu/beef-pie/) on donpies.com. ## How many beef pies should you order? Plan on about one personal beef pie per adult at a meal with other dishes, rather than the 1.5 we suggest for chicken pies when pies are the whole meal. Whole beef pies cut into 4 meal-size slices. For mixed groups, make beef about a third of the savoury order and chicken the rest. The [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/) handles the totals. ## How do you reheat a beef pie? Reheat beef pies in an oven so the dense filling heats through. A chilled personal pie needs about 20 to 30 minutes at 150 to 180C; a whole pie needs longer, with foil loosely over the top for the first part so the crust does not burn. The centre should be piping hot. See [how to store, transport and reheat pies](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/) for times and safety limits. Want a mash-topped alternative for a crowd? Read the [shepherd's and cottage pie guide](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/shepherds-cottage-pie/), or compare every family in [the best types of pies](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/). ## Questions ### Is a beef pie more filling than a chicken pie? Usually, yes. Beef pies tend to be denser, with rich gravy, so many adults are satisfied with one personal beef pie at a meal where they might eat one and a half chicken pies. ### Are beef pies halal in Singapore? Some are and many are not. Check each seller's own Halal certification. The Shepherd's Pie, for example, states that it is Halal-certified and sells beef options. --- # Shepherd's and cottage pie: a buyer's guide URL: https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/shepherds-cottage-pie/ Published: 20 June 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Shepherd's pie (traditionally lamb) and cottage pie (traditionally beef) are savoury fillings baked under mashed potato. In Singapore they are sold as party trays and personal portions, fresh or frozen. Expect about $40 to $50 for a tray that serves 4 to 6 from a specialist, and up to about $85 for larger festive trays. They need an oven to reheat well. Shepherd's pie is the pie for a dinner table. It comes as a tray that you scoop into portions, which makes it easy to stretch for a crowd and generous to look at. It is also the pie that most needs a proper oven. ## What is the difference between shepherd's pie and cottage pie? Shepherd's pie is traditionally made with minced lamb and cottage pie with minced beef, both baked under a layer of mashed potato. In Singapore the names are used loosely: "shepherd's pie" often covers beef, chicken and plant-based versions. Read the filling description rather than relying on the name. ## Who sells shepherd's pie in Singapore? | Seller | What they sell | Price as published | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | The Shepherd's Pie (Bedok North, since 2007) | Baked or frozen pies: chicken, beef black pepper, beef rendang, lamb, plant-based | $39.90 baked (4 to 6 servings); lamb $49.90 | States it is Halal-certified; free delivery over $150 on its own shop | | Violet Oon | Shepherd's pie party trays | $73.44 small, $84.24 large (2025 Christmas form) | 3 days' notice by 3pm; $28 delivery per location | | Don Pie | Chicken Shepherd's Pie, personal and whole | $6.80 personal, $33.80 whole (February 2026 menu) | Black pepper chicken under baked mash; no pork, no lard, not Halal-certified | | Simply Good Pies | NZ lamb shepherd's pie among British-style pies | Varies | Online; check live terms | Prices as published by the sellers or in their order forms, as of October 2026. Check before ordering. For a ranked list, halal options included, see [best shepherd's pie in Singapore](https://piesingapore.com/best-shepherds-pie-singapore/). Don Pie's chicken version has a page of its own in [originaldon.com's notes on the Chicken Shepherd's Pie](https://originaldon.com/pies/chicken-shepherds-pie/). ## Tray or personal portions? **Trays** suit seated meals, potlucks and festive dinners. They need a serving spoon, plates and an oven. **Personal portions** suit mixed buffets and offices, where people eat standing up. If you are weighing up chicken against beef or lamb, shepherdpie.sg has [a whole page on the chicken version](https://shepherdpie.sg/chicken-shepherds-pie). A tray that serves 4 to 6 is about the same amount of food as four to six personal pies. For a crowd, combine trays at the table with chicken pies for grazing. ## Fresh or frozen shepherd's pie? Shepherd's pie is one of the few pies that freezes and reheats almost as well as fresh, because the mash protects the filling. Buy frozen if you want to bake on your own schedule or keep a dinner in reserve. Buy fresh for an event the same day or the next. See [frozen and bake-at-home pies](https://donpieshop.com/frozen-pies-singapore/) for more. ## How do you reheat a whole tray of shepherd's pie? Reheat a chilled tray in the oven at about 170 to 180C, covered loosely with foil, for 30 to 45 minutes depending on depth, then uncover for 5 to 10 minutes to brown the top. From frozen, allow considerably longer, or thaw in the fridge overnight first. Check the centre is piping hot before serving. Don Pie's FAQ advises not keeping its Shepherd's Pie chilled for more than 3 days. Follow the seller's guidance where it is stricter than general advice. More in [how to store, transport and reheat pies](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/). ## How much shepherd's pie do you need? Allow one portion per adult at a meal with other dishes, and 1.5 if it is the main dish. A tray labelled "4 to 6" serves 4 hungry adults or 6 at a buffet. The [party pie calculator](https://donpieshop.com/how-many-pies-per-person/) treats trays like whole pies. For the other pie families, see [the best types of pies](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/). ## Questions ### Where can I buy halal shepherd's pie in Singapore? The Shepherd's Pie in Bedok North states on its own shop that it is Halal-certified, and sells baked and frozen shepherd's pies. Check the current certificate before ordering. ### Can I freeze shepherd's pie? Yes. Shepherd's pie freezes well, which is why some sellers offer frozen trays. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat in the oven until piping hot in the centre. ### Is Don Pie's Chicken Shepherd's Pie a real shepherd's pie? It is a chicken take on the format. Don Pie's menu describes it as its Black Pepper Pie filling topped with baked mashed potato, sold in personal and whole sizes. --- # Mushroom and vegetarian pies: a buyer's guide URL: https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/mushroom-vegetarian-pie/ Published: 15 July 2026 Quick answer: Vegetarian pies are harder to find in Singapore than meat pies, so order them first. Look for mushroom, vegetable or plant-based fillings from specialists such as The Shepherd's Pie (plant-based shepherd's pie) or cafe bakers. Ask about the stock, the pastry fat and shared fryers or trays, label them clearly, and order one or two more than the vegetarians need. At most Singapore gatherings, vegetarians are the guests the pie order forgets. Meat pies dominate the menus, and "mushroom pie" often turns out to be chicken and mushroom. A little planning fixes it. ## Where can you buy vegetarian pies in Singapore? Vegetarian pies in Singapore come from a smaller set of sellers than meat pies. Options seen in 2026 include: - **Plant-based shepherd's pie** from The Shepherd's Pie, which lists a plant-based option alongside its meat pies. - **Cafe and artisan pies** with mushroom, truffle mash or cheese fillings, such as Elijah Pies' black truffle mash and mac and cheese savoury pies. Check whether each one is vegetarian. - **Macaroni and potato pies** at some heartland bakeries, such as Cottage Pies Cafe in Pasir Ris (reported in older reviews; check current menus). - **Sweet pies,** which are usually vegetarian but may contain gelatin or lard. Ask. Menus change, so treat these as starting points and confirm with each bakery. ## What should you ask a bakery about vegetarian pies? A pie can look vegetarian and still contain meat products. Before ordering for vegetarian guests, ask: 1. **Is the filling made with meat stock?** Some vegetable gravies use chicken stock. 2. **What fat is in the pastry?** Butter and margarine are vegetarian; lard is not. 3. **Does the pie contain egg?** Some vegetarians avoid it, and many pastries are egg-washed. 4. **Are vegetarian pies baked on separate trays?** Strict vegetarians may care about shared equipment. 5. **How will the boxes be labelled?** Ask for separate boxes and clear labels. ## Can a mixed order from one bakery cover everyone? Often, yes, and it simplifies delivery. Choose a bakery with at least one clearly vegetarian pie, then build the rest of the order around it. If your usual bakery has no vegetarian pie, place a small second order with a seller that does, timed to arrive with the main order. ## How many vegetarian pies should you order? Count your vegetarian guests and add one or two. Meat-eaters often try the vegetarian option, and the pies that run out first are rarely the meat ones. For office events, ask on the invite and order from the replies, not from a guess; our guide to [pies for the office pantry](https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-office-pantry-meetings/) has an office order checklist. ## Labelling and serving tips - Put vegetarian pies on a **separate plate or board,** with its own server. - Use a **written label,** not just a coloured sticker that only you understand. - **Serve them first** or keep a few back for vegetarians who arrive late. - Note **allergens** too: nuts, eggs, dairy and gluten are common in pastries. Don Pie's ordering FAQ, for example, says its products contain all four, and the answer to [Is Don Pie halal?](https://donpies.com/is-don-pie-halal/) on donpies.com repeats the allergen list. For the full picture of pie types and how to mix them, see [the best types of pies](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/). For large orders, the [bulk order checklist](https://donpieshop.com/bulk-corporate-pie-orders/) includes labelling. ## Questions ### Are mushroom pies always vegetarian? No. Many mushroom pies are chicken and mushroom, and some vegetable fillings use chicken or beef stock. Ask the bakery directly before labelling a pie as vegetarian. ### How many vegetarian pies should I order for a group? Order enough for every vegetarian guest, plus one or two extra, because other guests often try them. Keep them separate and labelled so they do not run out before the vegetarians arrive. --- # Fruit and sweet pies: a buyer's guide URL: https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/fruit-sweet-pies/ Published: 4 July 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Sweet pies in Singapore range from banana pie slices at about $3 to $5 in Katong to whole dessert pies at about $62 to $80 from specialists such as Windowsill Pies and Elijah Pies. Whole sweet pies cut into about 8 slices, need no reheating and make good birthday cakes or gifts. Most specialists want orders a few days ahead. Sweet pies are the most flexible pies to buy. They are dessert at a dinner, cake at a birthday, a gift at a housewarming, and they rarely need reheating. The choice runs from heartland slices to showpiece whole pies. ## What sweet pies can you buy in Singapore? | Pie | Where to look | Price as reported | Format | |---|---|---|---| | Banana pie | Dona Manis (Katong), Auntie Peng (Katong Shopping Centre, Century Square) | $4.50 and $3.30 | Slice or individual | | Aomori apple pie | Anri Bakery, Takashimaya B2 | $7 | Individual | | Apple crumble pie | Big Bakery, Upper Paya Lebar Road | $2.80 a slice | Slice | | Banana cream pie | Wheathead, Slim Barracks Rise | $14.50 | Slice | | Pecan, cherry, lemon meringue | Windowsill Pies, Great World City | Whole pies from about $65 to $80 | Whole, by order | | Dessert pies such as wild berry or yuzu meringue | Elijah Pies | Whole $62 to $69 on its shop page | Whole, slices in cafe | | Apple pie with nuts and raisins | Don Pie | $8.80 personal, $43.80 whole (February 2026 menu) | Personal and whole | Prices from Eatbook's September 2026 round-up and sellers' own pages, as of October 2026. Check before you go. Apple pie fans can compare sellers in [best apple pie in Singapore](https://piesingapore.com/best-apple-pie-singapore/), and for Don Pie's own version, [donpies.com's Apple Pie notes](https://donpies.com/menu/apple-pie/) describe the filling. ## Whole pie or slices? **Slices and individual pies** suit an afternoon treat or a small household. Heartland banana pies and apple crumble slices are some of the best-value sweet bites in Singapore. **Whole sweet pies** suit parties and gifts. A whole pie cuts into about 8 slices, so one pie covers 8 dessert eaters. As a cake substitute it costs about the same as a decorated cake and needs no cutting skill. ## How far ahead should you order a whole sweet pie? Order whole sweet pies a few days ahead. Windowsill Pies asks for at least 3 days for online orders, with same-day by phone only. Elijah Pies advertises same-day delivery for some items. Heartland slices are walk-in buys. ## How should you serve sweet pies? Most fruit and cream pies are served chilled or at room temperature. Some, like pecan pie, can be warmed gently. Do not leave cream or meringue pies out in Singapore heat for long: put them back in the fridge within 2 hours. Cut sweet pies with a hot, dry knife for clean slices, and cut in halves, then quarters, then eighths so the slices come out even. ## Sweet pies for special diets Sweet pies are often vegetarian, but not always: some use gelatin or lard. Windowsill Pies, for example, states that it uses no pork, lard or alcohol, that its gelatin is Halal-certified, and that it is not itself Halal-certified. Ask each seller. ## Sweet pies as gifts and birthday cakes A whole sweet pie makes one of the easiest food gifts in Singapore: it travels in a box, keeps a few days chilled and needs no reheating. See the [pie gifting guide](https://donpieshop.com/pie-gifting-guide/) and [pies for parties and birthdays](https://donpieshop.com/pies-for-parties-birthdays/), or compare every family in [the best types of pies](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/). ## Questions ### How many people does a whole sweet pie serve? About 8, because dessert slices are cut thinner than savoury ones. Some 9-inch pies are sold as serving 8 to 10. ### How long do fruit pies keep? Windowsill Pies, for example, suggests eating its pies chilled or at room temperature and within 3 days refrigerated. Follow the seller's own advice for each pie. ### Does Don Pie sell a sweet pie? Yes. Don Pie's printed menu (February 2026) lists an Apple Pie with apples, nuts, raisins and cinnamon, at $8.80 personal and $43.80 whole, as of October 2026. Check the official site for current prices. --- # Frozen and bake-at-home pies URL: https://donpieshop.com/frozen-pies-singapore/ Published: 29 July 2026. Updated: 3 October 2026 Quick answer: Frozen pies in Singapore are sold online by sellers such as Bake Mission (3 for $24.60 on its site) and The Shepherd's Pie, and in supermarket freezers. They suit freezer stock and baking on your own schedule. Bake from frozen at about 170 to 180C for 40 to 60 minutes for a whole pie, covered with foil at first, until piping hot in the centre. A frozen pie is a pie on your schedule. No delivery slot, no lead time, no sell-out risk: just an oven and an hour. For a buyer, frozen pies are about convenience, and the trick is knowing when convenience matters more than a fresh crust. ## Where can you buy frozen pies in Singapore? Frozen pies in Singapore come from two kinds of sellers: | Seller type | Examples | What you get | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | Online frozen pie sellers | Bake Mission | Bake-at-home bundles, e.g. 3 pies for $24.60 incl. GST on its site | Free delivery above $180, otherwise $21.80; weekdays | | Specialists with a frozen range | The Shepherd's Pie | Shepherd's pies, baked or frozen | States it is Halal-certified; free delivery over $150 on its shop | | Supermarket freezers | Mass-market frozen chicken and meat pies | Small single pies and multipacks | Brands and prices vary by store | Prices as published by sellers, as of October 2026. Supermarket ranges change often, so check your local store's freezer and online shop. [Pie Singapore's Bake Mission profile](https://piesingapore.com/sellers/bake-mission/) has more on its bundles. ## When should you buy frozen instead of fresh? Frozen pies make sense when: - **you want stock in reserve** for unplanned guests or busy weeks; - **your event time is uncertain,** such as a gathering that might run late; - **delivery would be awkward,** for example on public holidays when bakeries close; or - **you are giving a practical gift** to someone with freezer space. Fresh-baked pies are better when the pie is the star: a party centrepiece, a gift to impress, or a pie you want with a properly crisp crust. ## How do you bake a pie from frozen? Bake frozen pies straight from the freezer unless the packet says to thaw first. Thawing on the counter is a food safety risk in Singapore's heat. 1. **Heat the oven** to about 170 to 180C. 2. **Put the pie on a tray,** with foil loosely over the top. 3. **Bake a whole pie for about 40 to 60 minutes** with the foil on, then about 10 minutes without it so the crust browns. Personal pies need less time. 4. **Check the centre.** It should be piping hot, at least 75C for chicken. 5. **Rest 5 minutes** before cutting, so the filling settles. Always follow the seller's own instructions where they differ. Air fryers work for small personal pies, but times vary widely with the basket and the pie, so check the centre. ## How long do frozen pies keep? Baked pies keep for about 3 months at -18C, according to British Pie Week's guidance, and the US Department of Agriculture gives 3 to 4 months for frozen leftovers. Commercial frozen pies carry their own dates. Label home-frozen pies with the date you froze them. ## Can you freeze fresh pies from a bakery? Yes. If you have bought more fresh pies than you can eat, freeze the extras on the day of purchase, wrapped tightly. Do not freeze pies that have sat at room temperature for hours first. Reheat from frozen as above, or read a test of [whether to thaw first or bake from frozen](https://donchickenpie.com/experiments/freezing-and-thawing-chicken-pie/). Our [storing and reheating guide](https://donpieshop.com/store-transport-reheat-pies/) covers fridge and freezer times in more detail. For other buying routes, see [where to buy pies in Singapore](https://donpieshop.com/where-to-buy-pies-singapore/), and for fresh pie families, [the best types of pies](https://donpieshop.com/best-types-of-pies/). ## Questions ### Are frozen pies as good as fresh-baked pies? Not quite, but the gap is smaller than people expect for pies designed to be frozen, especially shepherd's pies. Fresh-baked pies win on crust. Frozen pies win on convenience and timing. ### How long can I keep pies in the freezer? Baked pies keep for about 3 months at -18C, according to British Pie Week, and US food safety guidance gives 3 to 4 months for frozen leftovers. Follow the use-by date on commercial frozen pies. ### Can I freeze a pie I bought fresh? Yes, if you freeze it promptly, ideally the day you buy it. Wrap it well, label it with the date, and reheat from frozen until piping hot throughout.
