Asian goals (in full)

So with this week's update we got a new set of goals revolving around the infamous Action Chef Lee. The first goal is called 'The Fallen Champion' and requires the following:

• Serve 2 Garden Salads
• Serve 2 Spaghetti
• Serve 2 Boiled Lobsters

Asian goals step 1: The Fallen Champion

All of these recipes can be found on the Basic Stove. Due to the long cooking time of the Spaghetti, you'll have to wait for a whole day to complete this goal.

After completing this opening goal, the targets split into two. Details of the second second strand are further down this page. The first strand has the following opening goal entitled 'Friend in Need':

• Buy a Cherry Blossom for Lee
• Serve 10 Corned Beef Hash
• Serve 10 Chocolate Milk

Asian goals strand 1, step 1: Friend in Need

The Cherry Blossom is a one-off payment of 10,000 coins, while Corned Beef Hash takes 14 hours to cook on the Basic Stove and Chocolate Milk needs 3 hours to prepare via the Drink Machine. It's good to see both of these recipes returning after a brief disappearance in the New Year. If you only have one or two Drink Machines then this goal could take a while whether you choose to make do with having few appliances or choose to build more and wait for the required component requests to be fulfilled. Completing this goal will unlock the Penjing Tree which is needed to progress with the second strand of goals.

Next up is 'Sense of Serenity':

• Buy 4 Meditation Tables (costs 56,000 coins in total)
• Buy 4 Meditation Chairs (costs 28,000 coins in total)
• Buy 8 Cherry Blossom (costs 8,000 coins total)

Asian goals strand 1, step 2: Sense of Serenity

So that's a total spend of 92,000 coins there which is pretty hefty if you're a new player. However just think of the new recipes and decorations that you'll unlock in doing so. Completing this goal unlocks the Action Ice Cream Maker.

With the Action Ice Cream Maker now unlocked, you'll be asked to build a couple of them:

• Have 2 Action Ice Cream Makers (costs 16,000 coins total)
• Buy 2 Action Chef Lee Champion Portraits (costs 18,000 coins total)

Asian goals strand 1, step 3: Confidence Boosters

The Ice Cream Makers are of course constructible appliances, requiring 7 Zen Rakes and 7 Jades, both of which are new components. Due to the need for 28 components in total in order to build two Ice Cream Makers, this step may take over a day if your neighbours don't respond promptly. Luckily mine did as they are brilliant!

The fourth step utilises the Action Ice Cream Maker with the focus on Mochi Ice Creams:

• Make 30 Mochi Ice Creams
• Serve 30 Mochi Ice Creams

Asian goals stand 1, step 4: A Friendly Push

Just to clarify that to 'make' a dish means to start it while to 'serve' a dish means to place it on a counter after cooking. This means that any Mochi Ice Creams started on the first Action Ice Cream Maker prior to activating this goal by building a second appliance will not count towards completing the goal.

The concluding goal in the first strand is 'Ice Cream Machine!':

• Bring Mochi Samples to 8 Neighbours
• Serve 40 Sesame Ice Creams
• Serve 55 Green Tea Sundaes

Asian goals strand 1, step 5: Ice Cream Machine!

To complete the first of this goal you simply need to visit 8 neighbours. The Sesame Ice Creams and Green Tea Sundaes take 1 and 2 hours to prepare respectively so get busy! Finishing this goal off will result in the unlocking and award of the Jade Dragon.

Moving on to the second strand of goals, we start with 'A Piece of Home':

• Buy 2 Penjing Trees (costs 12,000 coins total)
• Buy 2 Soothing Waterfalls (costs 16,000 coins total)

Asian goals strand 2, step 1: A Piece of Home

The Soothing Waterfalls look very fancy, but the Penjing Trees remain locked by goal - to unlock them you will need to complete the 'Friend in Need' goal within the first strand of goals.

Once you've done that, you can move on to 'Prepare to Cook!':

• Have 2 Action Chef Stoves (costs 24,000 coins total)
• Borrow 14 Eggs from Neighbours

Asian goals strand 2, step 2: Prepare to Cook!

Although collecting eggs from neighbour may seem simple enough, it will be more difficult given the fact that you will no doubt also be collecting parts for both the Action Chef Stove and Action Ice Cream Maker (within the first strand of goals) - remember you are limited to receiving 20 item requests and 20 gifts per day. As a result it could take a bit of time to get this one done.

But once you get there, you'll be met with 'Back to Basics':

• Cook 14 Egg Drop Soups
• Serve 14 Egg Drop Soups

Asian goals strand 2, step 3: Back to Basics

Not only will completing this goal earn a goal item (time will tell which) but there is also the incentive of 3 gems too. Credit to TeamLava for that!

Following the soups are the pork and noodles in 'Rise of Action Chef Lee':

• Cook 16 Steamed Pork Bao
• Serve 16 Steamed Pork Bao
• Cook 18 Yeung Chow Noodles
• Serve 18 Yeung Chow Noodles

Asian goals strand 2, step 4: Rise of Action Chef Lee

The pork takes 6 hours to cook, while the Yeung Chow Noodles needs 1 hour. Both are new recipes on the Action Chef Stove. So it is recommended that you invest in several more than the two Action Chef Stoves needed to get to this point. I have got four and may yet add another. Completion of this goal is rewarded with Action Chef Lee and brings an end to this strand of the goals.
