Game overview

Chinese Food Chef works through a set of familiar Chinese dishes one recipe step at a time. You prepare the ingredients, cook them in the right order, and plate the result, with the game showing what comes next rather than expecting you to know the recipe. It sits at the guided end of the kitchen shelf: no queue, no clock, and enough different dishes that finishing one leaves you curious about the next.

This title is best suited to players who want a guided, relaxed cooking activity.
