Game overview

Chinese Food Restaurant serves a Lunar New Year rush, and the menu is the reason to play it. Rather than generic dishes, you work through recognisable courses such as soups, fried rice, rolls, nuggets and fortune cookies, each with its own preparation. Because the recipes differ genuinely from one another, the kitchen asks you to learn several distinct processes instead of repeating one.

This title is best suited to players who want a restaurant with a genuinely varied menu to learn.
