The flying noodles

At Koyo Koyo, noodles don’t just sit on the plate, they rise. The chefs have crafted a noodle experience that defies gravity, quite literally. As the server places the bowl on the table, guests witness something magical: floating chopsticks, suspended in mid-air, gently lifting a cascade of fragrant noodles coated in our signature house-made sauces. Aromatic steam curls upward like the warmth of a midnight Tokyo street stall, drawing guests in. The dish feels alive — capturing eyes, cameras, and smiles in an instant. Guests lean closer, mesmerised. It isn’t just food — it’s theatre, emotion, and a spark of culinary magic.

Of Punjab’s bazaars

YOung author and innovator Shaurya Prabh Sharma officially launched his debut book PANJAB INC in Chandigarh, presenting a powerful new narrative of Punjab not as a land defined by conflict but as a civilisation built and sustained by commerce, enterprise and innovation. The18-year-old author traces the region’s business history from the 9th century to the modern day, arguing that the driving force behind Punjab’s resilience has always been trade not war. “History remembers the battles but overlooks the bazaars. PANJAB INC is about a mindset of courage, creativity and community. A major section revisits the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, portraying him not just as a military strategist but as a ruler who understood that long-term peace depended on economic stability.
