Still learning the recipes? Read how to play Warung Rasa first.
Light the stove first
Satay, martabak, and fried rice take a few seconds to cook. As soon as a customer orders one, tap the stove before building the container and other ingredients. The cooking time is your chance to add the rice cakes, make an iced tea for someone else, or grab a plate.
Serve whoever has waited longest
The bar above each customer shows how much patience is left, turning from green to yellow to red. When several customers are waiting, serve the one with the shortest bar first, unless another order takes just two taps, such as an iced tea.
Five habits that cut mistakes
- Read the variation. "Meatball Soup (spicy)" needs chilli sauce at the end; plain soup doesn't. Serving a dish that doesn't match the order counts as a mistake.
- Follow the order, not just the ingredients. Noodles always come before meatballs, rice cakes before satay.
- Don't daydream at the martabak pan. When Flip! appears, tap the pan straight away.
- Bin without hesitation. If the counter has gone wrong, press Bin. Binning doesn't count as a mistake.
- Use hints while learning. The "Highlight next ingredient" setting makes the ingredient needed by the longest-waiting customer glow.
Suggested upgrade order
| Order | Upgrade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Second serving spot (80 coins) | Building two orders at once helps a lot when all three seats are full. |
| 2 | Stall bell (100 coins) | Customers are 25% more patient everywhere. |
| 3 | Wide grill (120 coins) | Important once satay arrives at the Evening Square. |
| 4 | Big-flame stove (180 coins) | Everything cooks 25% faster. |
| 5 | Second pans (150 coins each) | Most useful on days 25–30, which mix martabak and fried rice. |
Cart decorations don't affect play, so buy them once your kitchen is fast enough.
Using the second serving spot
Tap a serving spot to select it; the active one has a yellow outline. A handy approach: use one spot for cooked dishes and the other for drinks or soup. On a keyboard, press Shift + Tab to switch spots.
