Hyellian musical noodles

"Well, hopefully she won't hold a grudge for too long. Because there's a new restaurant near the Senate that's supposed to have Hyellian musical noodles, and I think she'd like that."
―Padmé Amidala, to Gregar Typho, regarding Dormé[1]

Hyellian musical noodles were a type of noodle consumable by humans[1] that originated from the Hyell system[1][2] in the Mid Rim Territories.[3] Around 22 BBY,[4] a restaurant opened near the Galactic Senate Building on the planet Coruscant and served the noodles.[1]

In 22 BBY,[4] Senator Padmé Amidala suggested to her Head of Security, Captain Gregar Typho, that he and her handmaiden Dormé visit the restaurant. Amidala pointed out that Dormé would likely enjoy the excursion to acquire Hyellian musical noodles and not hold a grudge against him for their last dining experience going awry.[1]

Behind the scenes

Hyellian musical noodles were mentioned in Queen's Hope,[1] a 2022 young-adult novel written by E. K. Johnston[5] as the third installment of Star Wars: Queen's Series.[1]
