The crab side
Six signature crab dishes, five sizes, one day's notice. The short version of what the Don Signature Crab half of the kitchen serves.
Chicken Pie Kitchen & Don Signature Crab serves six signature whole-crab dishes, from $39.80 for a Regular crab to $128.80 for an XL+, as of October 2026. Order one day ahead. The Tyrwhitt Road flagship serves the full range, and AMK Hub serves a limited range of two soups. The other kiosks have no crab.
The kitchen is two things under one roof. One is the pie kitchen. The other is Don Signature Crab, which is how the kitchen's second name came about: its Crab Bee Hoon Soup is described by the kitchen as the dish that started it all. The menu says crab dishes began as family cooking in the early 2000s and went on the menu because of demand, and that the mud crabs come from Sri Lanka and are delivered daily. Those are the kitchen's own statements, and we pass them on as such.
This page is deliberately short. It sets out the six dishes, the sizes and the prices, the lead time and where to find them. The depth, including the full range and how a crab is cooked, belongs to the dedicated crab site.
Each is a whole mud crab. Five of them share one price list by size, and the sixth, the seasonal Golden Salted Egg Crab, has its own.
The dish the kitchen calls the one that started it all: an umami stock cooked with herbs including dang gui (angelica root). Options at the ordering stage include no bee hoon, no coriander and no spring onion.
Sizes: Regular to XL+
A rich, aromatic gravy cooked with freshly ground premium black pepper. The catalogue offers an extra spicy option and notes an extra strong option.
Sizes: Regular to XL+
A laksa broth blended with fresh herbs and spices, served with the whole crab. Extra spicy and extra strong options are listed.
Sizes: Regular to XL+
Crab in a cheese sauce. It contains dairy, and it is offered in Medium size and above only, so the entry price is the Medium.
Sizes: Medium to XL+
A blend of sweet, spicy and savoury elements. Mantou is an optional add-on, and an extra spicy option is listed.
Sizes: Regular to XL+
The seasonal dish: whole mud crab wok-tossed in a dry-style salted egg yolk gravy with curry leaves and a hint of chilli padi. It has its own prices: Medium $68.80, Large $88.80, XL $108.80.
Sizes: Medium, Large, XL
The five bee hoon and crab styles are priced by the size of the crab. Weights are from the kitchen's printed menu, except the XL+, whose weight is not published. All prices are in Singapore dollars and are as of October 2026, so check the official site before you order.
| Size | Weight | Price (SGD) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 350 to 400g | $39.80 |
| Medium | 500 to 550g | $58.80 |
| Large | 600 to 650g | $73.80 |
| XL | 700 to 800g | $88.80 |
| XL+ | weight not published | $128.80 |
Two notes. Cheese Crab Bee Hoon is offered only in Medium and above. The Golden Salted Egg Crab is priced separately: Medium $68.80, Large $88.80 and XL $108.80.
The kitchen does not publish a serving guide for the signature sizes, so we will not invent one. A fair way to decide is to ask the outlet when you order, and to remember that the price rises with the weight. A Regular is 350 to 400g and costs $39.80, while an XL at 700 to 800g costs $88.80. For a table of three or four, the shared sets in our post on the sharing sets state how many each serves.
One day. The catalogue asks for whole crab dishes to be ordered one day ahead of the serving date. The two bee hoon sets need three hours. That is a rule of the ordering system, not a courtesy, so a walk-in cannot assume the dish is waiting.
Addresses and hours are on the outlets page. There is no Toa Payoh outlet today. The crab bee hoon does have a history in Toa Payoh, which donpies.com's crab bee hoon story tells.
Three crab sets serve tables of two to four, and a group of Hokkaido crab meat dishes serves one or two. They are written up in the news:
Crab dishes contain shellfish. The Cheese Crab Bee Hoon contains dairy. The kitchen states that its products contain nuts, eggs, dairy and gluten, and that the crab soup is cooked with Chinese cooking wine and herbs including dang gui (angelica root). There is no pork and no lard in the kitchen. The kitchen is not Halal-certified.
