Long description

Welcome to LuLu’s, the coziest little stall at the night market.

Take orders at the counter, then cook every dish by hand at five hands-on stations. Scoop steaming rice and ladle glossy braised pork at the Rice Bar. Drop a nest of noodles in the pot, lift it at the beep and pile on the beef at the Noodle Station. Cook the pearls, shake the tea and seal it with a satisfying ka-chunk at the Bubble Tea Bar. Fry crispy popcorn chicken with basil tossed in at the last second, and juggle a whole row of wheel cakes on the griddle: pour, fill, flip and lift them golden.

Every step is graded, every guest has their own order, and great cooking earns great tips. Spend your tips on kitchen upgrades, cozy decorations and outfits for LuLu, unlock new dishes as you rank up, and fill your regulars’ stamp cards.
