HOA NAM Peking Duck: a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas Eve

The HOA NAM story began in 1981 with the opening of their first workshop. In 1992, they set up store in the 13th arrondissement, in what has become an emblematic boutique on Avenue d'Ivry, offering the very best in Asian cuisine to take away or enjoy on the go. This Asian delicatessen is first and foremost a story of family and passion.

Anyone with a passion for Asia and Banh Mi is bound to find themselves in the 13th district at one time or another. Parisian Chinatown, located in the triangle formed by the Maréchaux, Avenue d'Ivry and Avenue de Choisy, is the ideal place to shop in the district's many Asian grocery stores.

Christmas is a special time for HOA NAM Catering, as many people from the Asian community celebrate Christmas with their families around festive specialties like Peking duck. It's also on the Christmas program of many a table in the Paris region, where people enjoy an exotic New Year's Eve with this iconic dish to share.

HOA NAM's lacquered duck has built its reputation on a feature that makes it unique: its sourcing! We've worked hard to find ducks that are both larger and less fatty, to get the most out of the meat. Their cooking technique also keeps the meat juicier. Aficionados love it!

Tuesday December 24 will be very busy, so don't hesitate to pre-order your duck this weekend so that it's available for your festivities.

An Asian institution in the 13th arrondissement of Paris

It's impossible to miss HOA NAM, strategically located in Paris's Chinatown, on the corner of Avenue d'Ivry and Rue de la Pointe d'Ivry, opposite the Olympiades shopping center.

Lovers of authentic, quality street food won't be disappointed at HOA NAM: here you can eat your way around Asia, from Chinese to Vietnamese, Cambodian to Thai.

One of the Banh Mi temples in Paris

This institution of Asian cuisine obviously offers all the iconic dishes of Asian cuisine, with specialties that have been all the rage in France for years, such as Banh Mi sandwiches (with bread made to order "by the family group").

Banh Mi's flagship recipes include, of course, the "Vietnamese special" with Vietnamese pâté, but also the roasted versions with lacquered pork or crispy lacquered pork belly. But also beef with lemongrass, Chinese sausage... and there are even vegetarian variations with vegetables and tofu!

A delight for lovers of Peking duck!

Of course, rotisserie dishes featuring Peking duck, crispy or lacquered pork (sasiu) and a wide variety of grilled kebabs are a must.

You'll also find gourmet Baos (Vietnamese or Chinese-style steamed buns), the fried foods we all love with nems or samoussas, steamed dishes with dim sum or Banh cuon (Vietnamese stuffed rice cakes).

For those who prefer ready-made dishes, don't miss our best-sellers, such as ribs in Kindo sauce (sweet and sour) or fried noodles.

Restaurant, caterer, but not only...

And let's not forget the Asian grocery section, with its delicious selection of HOA NAM products. In fact, the brand offers a hundred or so fresh or frozen references to treat yourself at home with their authentic recipes for every occasion.

A small counter along the window allows you to eat in and, of course, everything is available to take away. You can also go there for a refreshing milkshake, bubble tea or homemade soy milk.

A whole collection of Asian products

So it's no coincidence that HOA NAM won the"Flavors of the Year 2024" award for its star product, the pork nem, and its new halal chicken nem, and has become Europe's leading exporter of Asian prepared foods.

We would also like to inform you that their staff, members of the HOA NAM family, follow Chinese cultural practices, with a more direct and frank welcome. This testifies to their sincerity and their desire to offer you fast, efficient service with as little waiting as possible.

If you're a lover of world cuisine and eager to travel through the specialties of China and Southeast Asia, don't hesitate to push open the door of HOA NAM. You'll be transported to Asia from the kitchen to the reception area, in a world where each dish tells a story, each flavor brings a memory. A successful blend of Vietnamese tradition and French innovation!
