Cafe World, my new favorite Facebook game, is actually the first Facebook game I played. Sure I got friend requests for Restaurant City and Farm Town before, but never really got around to it. I never thought these FB games can be so addicting!

Now my life is not the same again because I always have to think of the cooking in my cafe when I wake up and before I sleep at night There is risk of food spoilage, you know. And the competitive spirit in me will always want to go to the next level. Which is bad since I can’t play the game for the most part when am in the office.

Cafe World basically empowers you to run your own cafe or restaurant. You can customize the design, hire employees, even have a say in the staff uniforms. You earn points with every dish you cook and every neighbor you visit. You have to think of a strategy because some dishes cook longer than others, like the homestyle pot roast which takes all of two days!

I’ll try to ask some of my high-pointer friends for some of their Cafe World tips and tricks. One tip I can share is to keep on cooking! Try to figure out dish intervals, so that when one food runs out, you’ll be ready to replace it with a new one. With limited counters, it’s impossible to serve all dishes at the same time.

Another tip is to add and visit as many neighbors as you can. Anyway, see you in Cafe World. Happy playing!
