Deep in the public housing projects in Din Daeng, Hia Jai is a local institution. A proud working-class eatery for a proud working-class neighbourhood. Rather than distinguishing themselves in terms of style or ingredients, they do a simple bowl of noodles right, served streetside. The noodles are a bit on the softer side, but the proteins are top-notch. And while some say the barbecued pork is light on the seasoning, it’s the pure porky goodness that really shines – not to mention the crispy pork and its ethereal crunch. The soup is solid, but the banmee haeng is where it’s at, gently tossed with a bit of lard.
42 Pracha Songkhro Road, Din Daeng. Midday-9.30pm Tue-Sun, closed Mon
