Soy Soi is bringing the comforting flavours of Southeast Asia to Chennai with Suey & Beyond: 12 Simmering Stories, a special culinary festival celebrating broths, curries, and noodle bowls that define the region’s rich food culture. The limited-time festival begins on 12th March 2026 at Soy Soi, Kotturpuram, Chennai, inviting diners to enjoy a menu inspired by the lively street-side sois found across Southeast Asia.

The festival centres around Khao Suey, the much-loved noodle dish known for its layered flavours and comforting broth. Guests can explore several regional interpretations of the dish, each offering its own character. The menu features varieties such as Swe Taung Khao Suey and No Sein Khao Suey from Burma, Luang Prabang Khao Suey from Laos, and Nam Kua styles from Thailand, allowing diners to experience how the dish evolves across different regions.

While Khao Suey forms the heart of the festival, the menu also travels further across Southeast Asia through a selection of curries and noodle dishes that highlight the diversity of the region’s cuisine. Diners can enjoy dishes such as Ayam Kalio from Indonesia, the slow-cooked Kaeng Hang Le from the Northern Thailand–Myanmar region, the comforting Vietnamese Cà Rí Chay, the tangy and aromatic Penang Laksa, and the flavourful Choo Chee Fish Curry.

Each dish reflects the depth and variety that make Southeast Asian cuisine so distinctive. From creamy coconut-based curries to clear, fragrant broths, the festival menu showcases a thoughtful mix of ingredients including seafood, meats, vegetables, and plant-based options.

With Suey & Beyond: 12 Simmering Stories, Soy Soi offers a warm and relaxed dining experience where guests can take a break from the pace of the city and enjoy the comforting flavours of Southeast Asia, served one bowl at a time.

The festival will take place from 12th March till 22nd March 2026 at Soy Soi, Gandhi Mandapam Road, Chitra Nagar, Kotturpuram, Chennai: 600085. The restaurant will serve the festival menu all day, with timings from Monday-Sunday 12 PM -11 PM and Friday-Sunday 12 PM -12 AM.
