Restaurant City Tips:
  1. Visit all your friends restaurants to get more ingredients. If your friends don’t play, invite them!
  2. You get a free item everyday when you log into the game. You also get a free item by doing the daily quiz. It is important to get them correct as they are easy. Quiz answers here.
  3. Do not trade any of these items away. they are SUPER RARE!!!
    • PRAWN
    • ONION
    • SALAD
    • FLOUR
    • POTATO

    and also try not to use any of these items because you will find it hard to level up those dishes

  4. Try to level up only one dish from each of the three categories, before you start on the rest. Don’t waste items on other dishes. Higher level means more exp when you serve them to customers. If you don’t have the required items, visit your friends and trade!
  5. Try to follow this layout for more experience

  6. Don’t waste money on expensive stoves! They all cook at the same speed!
    Soda machines and other whatnots are also for show. They don’t do anything. The only thing you may need in the future is arcade machines, to prevent your pop from decreasing. Even then you only need at most 8.
  7. Although the game say you need toilets, you don’t have to get them, and you will still get the same amount of money and experience. Furthermore, they are also unsightly and needs someone to be a cleaner. (Why waste manpower when you can get more cooks so you can earn money and experience faster)
  8. Try to keep the game minimized when not in use as it takes up about 50-70% CPU (it may lag when the game has been running for an hour+)

Some tips for playing (singing) on karaokeparty.com

  1. Use a proper microphone (even cheap ones work better than laptop built-in ones)
  2. Drag long notes properly for lots of points
  3. Adjust microphone sensitivity before starting. If not or too sensitive, wrap a thin cloth or tissue around the microphone.
  4. Slow songs are easier to score in general. Start with those. If you need suggestions, see the songs in my high score list on my page.

Have fun!

I tried the game today. It was kind of disappointing. The interface looks terrible and it was difficult to control the units.

I reached level 60 in maplestory yesterday! Some party member gave me a silver identity to wear =)
