Big UPDATES on 7 Nov 2009
Another big BIG UPDATES
Restaurant City is really getting more and more exciting
First, let's go through the Newsletter we have here.
Surprise~ me likey
So, here are all the UPDATED features
LIMITED Halloween Recipes
As expected, LIMITED Halloween Recipes are now all GONE 
Of course, if you have already UNLOCKED them,
they will be always there for you to keep
Fullscreen
At last A FULLSCREEN mode 
All the while been struggling why Playfish never provides a mode so that we can see the whole restaurant.. 
And now, here we are
But, I guess seeing the whole restaurant in Fullscreen is just too BIG for my monitor... 
Actual size when fullscreen..
So big... 
Go to the RESCUE~!
This IS the most excited part of all the updates this time
Visit your friends and...
PENGUINS 
Wow..... 
Penguins...kinda cute~
And we're suppose to get rid of them by clicking them..
(Though if it's possible, I would like to have them without getting rid of them in my restaurant..
)
Anyway, there are 6 troubles (at the mean time) where you can help your friends to get rid of them.
Help! These PENGUINS are helping themselves to the fish!
Help! Plug these LEAKS before we're underwater!
Help! The SKUNKS are putting people off their food!
Help! These MUSHROOMS are taking over my garden!
FIRE! FIRE! Can you help me put it out?
Help! The SLEEPING BEAR is scaring away customers!
But..
They are CUUUTEE 
This kind of UPDATES really made my day
It's so unexpected. 
Well, you still need to get rid of them for your friends.
But, you of course are not doing it for free.
From what I've tried,
you'd get $15 by helping the first 5 friends, $10 the next 5 friends, $2 when you reached 37 friends and $1 when you reached 70 friends...
(if i'm not mistaken)
And, new
TROPHIES due to this cute lil' trouble.

Fixing, Washing, Cleaning
Now, you can fix the arcade machine, clean a plate, washing the toilet by just One Click manually
Fixing the Retro Arcade Machine
A timer will appeared once you click, on counting the time to complete. 
Fixing, Washing, Cleaning
And guess what, you can even book your time to do the job.
For example, 2 machines went down
Click on 1 broken machines, the timer starts for [Fixing].
While 1st timer started to run,
you could still click on the 2nd broken machine, and the timer set for [Waiting] until the 1st one finished fixing.
Click twice on timer [Waiting] and it'll be cancelled.
[Fixing, Washing, Cleaning] got their TROPHIES as well.
[Fixing Trophy]

So, it's like we are the head of Janitor?
If we are going to aim for the trophies, I guess a janitor will not be needed so much...
But on the other hand, we can actually compete with the janitor or the waiters to see who got them fixed or cleaned first~ kinda a new type of game in Restaurant City i s'ppose..
Or you may think of a new layout which fit the current circumstances the best.
Take care of friends' garden
Besides helping friends in settling the animal troubles, you can also help friends by helping them to water their garden.
1 click gets $1 
1 patch gets $3
The whole garden gets $27
Votes count
Lil' bonus update
We now know how many voted for our restaurant and that means even though you got 5 Stars 
but 1 vote, it's nothing.
That's all.
Have fun rescuing your friends restaurant

The Restaurant City Garden
I know, this entry might be just so out-dated for your information. 
It's just that I still need to write about the Garden
, even though you might have already got the details from all other game sites..
So, the Garden at the back of your restaurant (added by Playfish since the 28 Aug 2009), is actually a small farm which produces ingredients to be used in recipes.
How to plant?
First, click the soil, and the following window will pop-up.
Wanna plant a seed? Yeah, plant when you have the of course.
It's pretty costly.
There're 9 patches, each for 2,000 coins.
18,000 coins for all 9 patches at one time.
Moreover, you wouldn't know what ingredients you are going to get 
You know, you may get ingredients which do not even worth a coin 
Imagine 3 saffrons at a time...6,000 coins gone...
Well, you might get 3 sugars in return though~
Oregano Wasabi
One more thing to bear in mind is that, having the garden added to Restaurant City, you are no longer be able to get these ingredients from the Daily Bonus Ingredients, Daily Food Quiz or First-Friend-Visit Ingredients.
You can only get these ingredients now by planting or trade
.
Your LEVELS
You can only start to plant a seed when you reached certain levels.
Level 16 
(1 plot)
Level 18 (2 plots)
Level 20 (3 plots)
Level 22 (4 plots)
Level 24 (5 plots)
Level 26 (6 plots)
Level 28 (7 plots)
Level 30 (8 plots)
Level 32 (9 plots)
Care for the plants
There's not much to care of for the plants.
You just need to water the plants before it dries up.
The plant will stop growing if you leave the soil dry to crack.
However, there's nothing to worry about as well.
It will not die and back to growth once you water them again.
One click gives out 3 hours of water.
0 hours
3 hours 6 hours 9 hours
The process of growth
The plants take 48 hours to grow until they're ready to harvest.
There are 6 stages of growth.
Stage 1 : 48 hours to go
Stage 2 : 38 hours to go
Stage 3 : 28 hours to go
Stage 4 : 18 hours to go
Stage 5 : 8 hours to go
Stage 6 : Ready to Harvest
You can't tell what ingredients that you'll be getting the first 30 hours (Stage 1 to Stage 3) for all plants appearance are the same.
Stage 1 to Stage 3
You'll see what you're going to get once you reached Stage 4.
Stage 4 to Stage 6

Garlic
Basil
Coffee Beans
