Hospitalitynews had the distinct pleasure of being hosted at the newly reimagined Soy Soi, Chennai’s beloved Pan-Asian dining destination, on April 28, 2025. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Pricol Gourmet Private Limited, Mr. Siddharth Malhotra (Director of Operations), Chef Peter Tseng (Culinary Director), and Brand Chef Rajat Gurung, who took the time to personally welcome us and guide us through this extraordinary culinary journey.
Since its opening in March 2017 at the prime location of Kotturpuram, Soy Soi has been a pioneer in presenting authentic, lesser-known cuisines of South East Asia. Conceptualized after an immersive 21-day food research trip across Singapore, Bali, Ho Chi Minh, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Jakarta, and Bangkok, Soy Soi was never just another Pan-Asian restaurant — it was a passion project dedicated to authenticity, flavour, and experience.
Now, stepping into its 9th year, Soy Soi returns with a minimalistic fine-dining avatar, putting a sharper focus on elevated food, impeccable service, and a sophisticated new ambience. The revamped menu, curated by Chef Peter Tseng, celebrates the best of South-East Asia while introducing exciting Japanese and Korean influences.
During our visit, we savoured some truly remarkable dishes from the refreshed menu:
Wild Mushroom Gyoza: Tender pockets filled with assorted mushrooms, napa cabbage, and leeks, pan-seared to perfection.
Crispy Spicy Avocado Sushi: A vibrant roll layered with jalapeño, creamy avocado, spicy mayo, and a crunchy tanuki crust.
Avocado Carpaccio: Elegant slices of avocado served with jalapeño relish, rice crispies, and a zingy ginger ponzu dressing.
Eggplant Aka Miso: Smoky grilled eggplant glazed with a rich miso dressing, complemented by roasted sesame sauce and karashi mustard.
Karipap: Deep-fried mini curry puffs stuffed with curried vegetables, paired beautifully with Malay potato curry.
Spicy Pho: A comforting Vietnamese broth with rice noodles and thinly sliced chicken or beef, freshened with basil.
Malaysian Vegetable Curry: Aromatic vegetables slow-cooked in coconut milk, delivering bold, traditional Malaysian flavours.
Every dish was brought alive by the passion and attention of Chef Rajat Gurung, who patiently shared the inspirations, ingredients, and techniques behind each creation, making the dining experience even more special.
The newly designed 2800 sq. ft. space with a seating capacity of 92 offers a relaxed yet refined setting, allowing the vibrant food to take center stage.

Chin Lung Brewery is tapping into the spirit of summer with the launch of a Raw Mango Infused Wheat Beer, a limited seasonal brew that brings together nostalgia, local ingredients, and craft innovation.
Inspired by the familiar flavours of kaccha aam, the beer is brewed using freshly plucked raw mangoes sourced directly from the brewery’s own tree. The result is a refreshing reinterpretation of traditional aam panna, transformed into a light, crisp, and highly drinkable wheat ale suited for the city’s warm weather.
The brew opens with bright, zesty aromas of raw mango, complemented by subtle citrus notes and a hint of earthy spice. On the palate, it delivers a vibrant burst of green mango upfront, followed by a refreshing saline tang through the mid-palate. A touch of black salt enhances the tartness, while a gentle layer of chilli warmth adds depth without overpowering the profile.
With an ABV of approximately 4.8%, the beer is designed to be easy-drinking and sessionable. Its hazy pale straw to light golden appearance, combined with a smooth, lightly spiced finish, makes it an ideal companion for long afternoons and relaxed evenings.
This seasonal release reflects a growing trend within India’s craft beer space, where local ingredients and regional flavour memories are being reimagined through contemporary brewing techniques. By drawing from the nostalgia of summer staples, Chin Lung continues to create experiences that resonate with both familiarity and innovation.
With this launch, the brewery offers a refreshing way to celebrate mango season—one that captures the essence of summer in every sip.
