Our halal statement was reviewed on 25 August 2026

The kitchen reviewed its statement on halal food on 25 August 2026. The answer has not changed, and we would rather repeat it plainly than leave anyone to infer it: no pork, no lard, not Halal-certified.

What does the statement say?

The three parts are short.

1. There is no pork and no lard in the kitchen.
2. The kitchen is not Halal-certified by MUIS, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore.
3. The kitchen does not claim that any of its products are Halal.

Those three statements are the whole position, and every other sentence on this page is context. We do not use softer labels, we do not suggest that any dish is suitable by default, and we do not rely on one supplier’s status to say anything about the whole kitchen.

Why does the kitchen not seek certification?

The kitchen’s own statement gives its reasons. The flagship restaurant at 39 Tyrwhitt Road admits pet dogs and serves alcohol. Those are choices about how the dining room runs, and the kitchen explains in its statement that they are why it does not claim to be Halal. We are not going to paraphrase the full argument here, because the kitchen’s statement is the authoritative text and it carries the review date.

What does that mean for a Muslim diner deciding where to eat?

It means the decision is yours, and it should be made with the full statement in front of you. Some diners avoid any kitchen that is not certified. Others are comfortable with a no-pork, no-lard kitchen that is open about what it is. Either choice is reasonable. The thing we owe you is a clear answer, and the clear answer is that the kitchen is not Halal-certified.

What else is worth knowing about ingredients and alcohol?

The kitchen’s dietary FAQ says that its products contain nuts, eggs, dairy and gluten. It says that pastries by default contain no alcohol. It says that the crab soup is cooked with Chinese cooking wine and herbs, including dang gui (angelica root). The flagship serves alcohol as part of its drinks menu. If any of these matter to you, ask the outlet about the specific dish before you order, because we cannot answer for a recipe on the day.

The kitchen’s pages word the question of ingredient suppliers in more than one way, so we do not summarise it here. The statement on chickenpie.sg is the place to read it.

Where does this apply?

To all five outlets: the Tyrwhitt Road flagship and the four kiosks at AMK Hub, Wisma Atria, White Sands and Tiong Bahru Plaza. The outlets page lists each of them. The same statement applies to the crab dishes described on our crab page and to every seasonal item in the calendar of the year.

Where can you read more?

The question comes up often enough that several sites carry a version of it. donpies.com’s page on whether Don Pie is halal answers it in a question-and-answer form, and Pie Singapore’s guide to halal pies compares sellers across the city, if you are choosing between several. Our own FAQ has a shorter version.
