Hia S. Roast Duck Chiang Mai, a delicious taste worth seeking
When talking about Chiang Mai from mr.hotsia's perspective, a restaurant you must try at least once isHia S. Roast DuckA small shop hidden in the Kad Muang Mai area near Chiang Mai Airport. This place is not only famous for its crispy-skinned, tender roast duck but also marks the beginning of a delicious meal that I fell in love with and want to share without hesitation.
The first time I stepped into Hia S. Roast Duck felt like stepping back into old Chiang Mai, where people lived simply. The lively Kad Muang Mai market atmosphere filled with Northern Thai food aromas is a place I enjoy watching people pass by, shopping for fresh produce and snacks together.
The path to deliciousness: roast duck noodles and signature dishes
The dish I recommend most isRoast Duck NoodlesUnlike any other, the rich and flavorful broth blends perfectly with chewy soft noodles and large pieces of crispy-skinned roast duck. Paired with fresh vegetables and a special dipping sauce, every bite becomes an unforgettable memory.
Besides roast duck noodles, the single roast duck plate is another dish mr.hotsia never misses. Hia S.'s roasting method involves careful marinating and grilling. The duck skin is crispy with a satisfying crunch while the meat remains juicy and tender, making me order extra every time.
Kad Muang Mai Market atmosphere, the charming blend of Chiang Mai
Hia S. Roast Duck is located in the Kad Muang Mai area, considered the heart of Chiang Mai in a humble way but full of the true lifestyle of Chiang Mai locals. I often stop by before leaving the airport or heading to other places like Omkoi District, home to Wat Saen Thong, which I have previously written about.Visit Wat Saen Thong OmkoiOr explore the Doi Tao lake ruinsVisit Doi Tao Lake RuinsWhere the water recedes revealing traces of the past on the land
Kad Muang Mai is not just about food but also a place where I stroll to observe daily life of vendors and locals buying fresh produce and daily necessities. Walking through this market gives a warm and genuine feeling rarely found in big cities.
How to get there and opening hours
Hia S. Roast Duck is not far from Chiang Mai Airport, just a few minutes’ drive from the city center. Parking is available around Kad Muang Mai market. The location is convenient and perfect for tourists looking for traditional delicious food before departure or after landing.
The restaurant opens from early morning until late afternoon, ideal for breakfast or lunch. Anyone who loves hot breakfast or roast duck noodles must visit. For me, mr.hotsia, this is one of my favorite spots I never miss when in Chiang Mai.
Connecting Chiang Mai experiences with delicious dining
After enjoying delicious roast duck at Hia S., I usually plan a relaxed trip, such as traveling to Mae Chaem, a quiet small town behind Doi Inthanon, which I have shared in an article.Jaeng Muang RestaurantA café and Northern Thai food spot blending impressively with the small-town atmosphere.
Or if you love nature and want to get out of town, you can visit Ob Luang, a viewpoint and bridge over Ob Luang, one of Chiang Mai’s new landmarks that I have personally experienced.Visit Ob Luang, walk on the Ob Luang bridgeRecommended to go in the morning when the weather is nice and crowds are few for beautiful photos.
