Kawasaki let out a deep sigh as he played with an onion. "I'm never gonna get this restaurant to be a hit," He said to himself in a very depressed tone. "Even though Tiff helped with coming up with new menus, delivery services, and other things, but only customer I get is Kirby! It's too late to change business plans. Maybe I should leave Cappy Town and get more cooking lessons..."

"You're not going anywhere!" A familiar voice triggered his eardrums from behind. It was Tiff, next to her was Tuff, next to him was Kirby.

"Huh? Hey guys!" Kawasaki greeted.

"You don't need to go anywhere to learn to cook!" Tiff said.

"Huh, really?" Kawasaki asked.

"Yes, here," she handed him a book. "Biblio said that he saved it especially for you."

"A cook book?" Kawasaki look through the book.

"Yeah there are cooking instructions in the book, so you can read through it, practice it, and serve it to customers," Tiff explained.

"Ah? Oh~" Kawasaki's eyes started to glow in joy.

"EW! YUCK! TAKE IT AWAY!" Dedede demanded as he threw the burrito into Escargoon's mouth.

"I think it tastes pretty good," Escargoon mumbled as he chewed his mouth of burrito.

"Well then, you chug the whole thing!" Dedede said. "Waddle Dee! Bring me the menu!" Dedede demanded. One Waddle Dee quickly brought the menu. "Hmm... hmm... hmm... WHY IS THERE NOTHING TO EAT HERE!"

"Well then, why don't we go to Kawasaki's?" Escargoon suggested.

Dedede thought for a moment. "Bring me back that burrito!" He demanded.

"I already ate the whole thing..." Escargoon replied.

"Bring me new one! Just put extra rice in there!" Dedede demanded.

After practicing for few times, Kawasaki noticed that his cooking tasted a little better. "Oh? Oh~ Tiff come and try this!" 

Tiff went over and took a sip of the noodle soup. "Oh wow! It tastes so much better!" Tiff said, very amazed.

"Let me try," Tuff said as he took a sip. "Hmm... wow! Delicious!"

"You should serve it like how you just did it!" Tiff said.

Just then, Chief Bookem came into eat lunch. "Kawasaki! One order of noodles please!"

"One noodle soup, coming right up!" Kawasaki called from the kitchen. "Lalala~ lalalala-lala-lala~" Kawasaki sang as he prepared the noodle soup. "Here you are~ one noodle soup!" Kawasaki said as he served it to Bookem.

Bookem took a sip of noodle soup. "Hmm... hmm..." Bookem said as he savored it. "Hmm? Oh wow! This is really good!" Chief Bookem said. "Kawasaki! I'm impressed! What did you do differently? This noodle soup is almost hundred times better than usual!" 

"Ah, I switched up the ingredients a little bit," Kawasaki said. He didn't want to mention anything about a cooking book.

Chief Bookem slurped in the noodles. "Wow, this is really amazing! I should come here more often!" After he finished it, he paid and left. "Thanks, Kawasaki!"

"Bye-bye!" Kawasaki said. "Oh, Tiff! It is a success!"

"That's great, Kawasaki!" Tiff said.

Mabel came in afterwards. "Kawasaki, I would like some pork chops," Mabel requested.
