A culinary festival in a fantasy city: pudding, bubble tea and a marmalade dessert.

Cooking in the City of Winds

A festival with three entries, and presentation counts as much as preparation — which the game states outright and then actually enforces. Each dish is judged on how it looks as well as whether it was made correctly, so the garnish stage is not optional decoration.

The three recipes are genuinely distinct. Pudding is about setting and layers, bubble tea about proportion and temperature, and the marmalade dessert about assembly. Nothing carries over from one to the next except your sense of what the judges like.

The setting is a hand-drawn fantasy city and the presentation is the strongest thing here. It is longer than most titles in this section and closer to a small adventure than to a decorating toy.

Controls

Tap ingredients and tools in sequence, then drag garnishes for the presentation.

How to Play

  1. Choose which festival dish to enter.
  2. Prepare it following the steps for that recipe.
  3. Garnish and arrange the presentation.
  4. Submit it to the judges and move to the next entry.

Tips & Tricks

Leave space on the plate for the garnish. All three recipes fill the dish during preparation, and a presentation added to an already-crowded plate scores worse than a plainer one with room around it.
