Singapore Pie: A Legacy 70 Years in the Baking
From a humble chicken rice stall in the 1950s to a modern kitchen today. A taste of home, wrapped in pastry. Every bite is familiar, comforting, and proudly Singaporean. 🇸🇬
The Legend of Purvis Street 🏘️
From a humble chicken rice stall in the 1950s to a modern kitchen today, food carries more than just flavour... It carries the taste of a legacy. ✨
Our grandfather, Lim Tee Kheng, founder of Jee Hai Hainanese Chicken Rice at 8 Purvis Street (1955–1972), was among the Hainanese first-generation pioneers who helped shape Singapore’s chicken rice culture. 🇸🇬👨🍳

Reimagining a Heritage 🔄
Today our kitchen bakes as DonChef™, to the Original Chicken Pie recipe our co-founder Chef Don Lim created in 1983. It honours that heritage by reimagining the family recipe in the form we know best: the Singapore Pie. 🥧✨
It is our tribute to where we came from. A bridge between 3 generations, 70 years apart. A taste of home, wrapped in pastry. 🌉❤️
