Imagine returning to your hometown, Paell, only to discover your parents’ cherished restaurant shut down and saddled with debt. The only way to save the legacy is to relaunch and take it to new heights, but there’s a catch—you need to dive into dungeons! Embark on exciting quests beyond Paell, brandishing your trusty cooking tools against comically oversized chickens, shrimp armed with artillery, fiery peppers, and countless other quirky adversaries. And don’t forget to refresh yourself with a boba tea as you navigate these strange lands.
As you gather unique ingredients across various terrains, bring them back and whip them into delectable dishes. Transform your shuttered diner into a bustling restaurant sensation, sure to make your parents proud. But beware—handling the lunch rush is no small feat!
