Bakso Simulator 2 All Recipes
This page lists every confirmed recipe in Bakso Simulator 2 with ingredient requirements, unlock conditions, and strategic notes for menu planning. Rabas's expanded menu in the Akhir Pekan Studio sequel goes far beyond basic beef ball soup — spicy variants heat up profit margins, fishcake soup draws premium customers, and specialty bowls like dumpling bakso and tofu bakso diversify your offering across multiple restaurant floors. Use this reference when assigning daily menu slots on your tablet and ordering supplies through Rabas's house laptop.
Starter and Classic Recipes
Every player begins with Classic Bakso — beef balls, rice noodles, broth, and basic seasoning available from starting vendors. This recipe teaches the core cooking loop: grab ingredients with E, add them to the pot in sequence, ladle finished bowls, and serve at customer tables. Classic bakso carries the lowest margin but fastest preparation time, making it essential for early income before unlocking complex variants.
Simple Mie Bakso extends the classic recipe with extra noodle portions for hungry village workers who pay slightly more per bowl. Unlock it after serving fifty classic bowls or completing the first market vendor side quest. Both recipes remain menu staples throughout your playthrough even after unlocking premium options — volume customers on the ground floor keep classic bakso profitable during lunch rushes documented in our how to play guide.
- Classic Bakso — Beef balls, rice noodles, broth, salt, pepper. Unlock: Default starter. Fast prep, low margin, high volume.
- Simple Mie Bakso — Classic ingredients plus extra noodles. Unlock: Serve 50 classic bowls or market quest. Moderate margin.
Spicy and Flavored Variants
Spicy Bakso introduces chili paste and sambal to the classic base, attracting customers who pay premium prices for heat. Ingredient costs run higher due to imported chili paste from the village spice vendor, but profit per bowl increases enough to justify dedicated menu slot assignment once unlocked. Preparation adds one extra step — chili paste must enter the pot after broth simmers but before beef balls, matching the sequence shown on your tablet recipe card.
Garlic Bakso and Curry Bakso branch from the spicy line after mid-game story progression. Garlic variant uses roasted garlic cloves from the market produce stall, while curry bakso requires curry powder unlocked through an NPC recipe exchange during the supernatural side quest chain. These bowls suit upstairs dining areas where decoration bonuses increase customer patience for longer preparation times. Check ingredient sourcing for vendor restock schedules on specialty spices.
- Spicy Bakso — Classic base plus chili paste and sambal. Unlock: Second recipe slot plus spice vendor access.
- Garlic Bakso — Spicy base plus roasted garlic. Unlock: Mid-game story chapter. Premium pricing.
- Curry Bakso — Spicy base plus curry powder. Unlock: Supernatural side quest NPC. Highest spicy margin.
Soup and Specialty Bowls
Fishcake Soup departs from traditional bakso format — fishcake slices, vegetable broth, green onions, and rice noodles served in a lighter soup that attracts health-conscious village tourists. Unlock requires reaching the fishing area side quest and purchasing the fishcake supplier license from the market vendor. Profit margins exceed classic bakso despite longer prep because tourists tip generously in decorated upstairs seating.
Dumpling Bakso combines beef balls with fried wonton dumplings for a hearty dual-protein bowl popular during rainy in-game weather when customer volume shifts toward comfort food. Tofu Bakso replaces beef balls with marinated tofu cubes for vegetarian-leaning customers introduced in a sequel update — keep tofu stocked separately since it shares no ingredients with meat-based recipes. Both specialty bowls require a third recipe slot and benefit strongly from hiring a cook via our staff hire order guide.
- Fishcake Soup — Fishcake slices, vegetable broth, noodles, green onion. Unlock: Fishing quest plus vendor license.
- Dumpling Bakso — Beef balls, fried wontons, broth, noodles. Unlock: Third recipe slot. Best during rainy weather.
- Tofu Bakso — Marinated tofu, broth, noodles, vegetables. Unlock: Sequel update recipe slot. Vegetarian option.
Premium and Event Recipes
Royal Bakso Bowl represents the highest-tier standard recipe — premium beef balls, egg noodles, specialty broth, fried shallots, and lime garnish combined into a signature dish that justifies top-floor restaurant pricing. Unlock it after fully upgrading at least one shop floor through the shop upgrades page and completing the main story chapter involving Rabas's restaurant competition with a rival vendor.
Seasonal and event recipes rotate with Akhir Pekan Studio updates — limited-time bowls tied to village festivals and supernatural events occasionally appear on the tablet with unique ingredients found only during active event windows. Track update notes on Google Play and Steam for new recipe additions. Cross-reference our unlock guide for progression milestones that gate premium recipes behind story and upgrade requirements rather than pure currency purchases.
- Royal Bakso Bowl — Premium beef, egg noodles, specialty broth, shallots, lime. Unlock: Shop upgrade plus story chapter.
- Event Specials — Varies by update and festival. Unlock: Active seasonal events. Limited-time ingredients.
