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.

Faasos, a food brand from Rebel Foods, has introduced its Paratha Burger range, combining the familiar format of a burger with the flaky, layered texture of lachha paratha. Available across 20 cities in India from November 12, 2026, the launch gives a distinctly Indian interpretation to a globally popular fast-food favourite.
Instead of conventional burger buns, the new range uses lachha paratha as its outer layer, enclosing flavourful patties, generous fillings and indulgent sauces. Described by the brand as having a “flaky outside, freaky inside” format, the product is positioned as a loaded burger experience rather than a wrap, roll or stuffed paratha.
The range features six vegetarian and non-vegetarian options across three flavour profiles: Teriyaki, Chipotle and Hot Garlic.
The non-vegetarian selection includes Teriyaki Chicken Dynamite, Chipotle Chicken Blast and Hot Garlic Chicken. The vegetarian options are Teriyaki Paneer Dynamite, OG Chipotle and Hot Garlic Manchurian.
Commenting on the launch, Mohit Mahajan, AVP – Marketing, Rebel Foods, said, “At Rebel Foods, product innovation is about finding new ways to make familiar food formats exciting for consumers. With the Paratha Burger, we have brought together the flaky, layered goodness of Indian lachha paratha with the bold, globally inspired flavours of a burger. The idea was to create something that feels familiar yet new, combining the comfort of a desi favourite with the indulgence of a loaded burger. The pilot across Mumbai and NCR is helping us understand the consumer response to the flavours that resonate the most with them. Our focus remains on expanding our offerings and bringing exciting food experiences to consumers across India.”
The flavour combinations range from the sweet and savoury notes of Teriyaki to the smoky profile of Chipotle and the sharper, more pronounced flavours of Hot Garlic. The concept builds on the appeal of familiar food formats while introducing new textures and internationally inspired flavour combinations.
Customers can order the Faasos Paratha Burger at a promotional price of ₹169. The launch also includes Buy One Get One (BOGO) offers and specially curated combos.
The introduction of the Paratha Burger adds another format to Faasos' menu innovation efforts, bringing together an Indian flatbread and the structure of a burger. The range also reflects the brand's approach of adapting familiar food experiences through new combinations of ingredients, textures and flavours.
