Ready to meet the new guest of our regular column? Meet Mangai Srikanth, a very talented member of our community! 😍
🌟 Hi! First, please introduce yourself! Could you tell me a couple of words about who you are?
Hi everyone!! I am Mrs Mangai Srikanth, from India. In real life, I am a printing engineer, heading a team of image enhancement professionals in a media company. In CD, I am one of the admins of the Cooking Diary World FB group, the graphic designer of CRaZy FuN FaMiLy Guild (creating posters for each quest based on dress theme), and an enthusiastic player.
🌟 Nice to meet you, Mangai! Let's get started with general questions—how did you start playing Cooking Diary? What motivated you?
I am basically a fan of time management/role-playing games and love pets. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I was working from home. I had more time to play games, and when I was playing a game from GameHouse, an ad for Cooking Diary kept popping out in between the levels. I found the graphics more attractive and thought, why not try playing? I downloaded the game straight away and started playing on April 7, 2020. I'm still playing today.
🌟 What are your favorite things about Cooking Diary and why?
My favourite things in CD are:
- Vivid graphics, animations, the facial expressions of each character showing various emotions, and the different types of customers
- The concept of each player being able to play as their avatar, being able to dress the avatar and change their facial features
- The sounds heard while making various dishes and by various customers
- Pets – The diversity of pets, and creating awareness what taking care of pets involves
- Interesting storylines
- Guild quests and various events which give us a feeling of victory when we win against our playmates
- Socialising and playing with people all over the world, and making more virtual friends who are like our real friends.
🌟 Do you have a favorite restaurant in the game? If so, which one?
Yes!! I do. My favourite restaurant is Particles of Taste. I play in this restaurant for almost all quests except for level quests (the Burger Joint) and most recent restaurant quests.
🌟 If you were in Tasty Hills, who would you make friends with first and why?
I would like to make friends with the Impatient Customers so that they enter the restaurant with maximum hearts 😊😁😅
🌟 We know that you have a Cooking Diary fan group! Please tell us how you came up with the idea of creating it?
I am one of the admins of the Cooking Diary World FB group. I was invited by the founders, Ms Melanie Mendez and Ms Diane Mendez, to become an admin on June 1, 2021. I have a passion for creating edits and I post edits on Path to Glory, Food Truck outfits, celebrating Smilestones and Birthdays of CD players, Culinary Tournament, Magic Hats results and also post some freestyle edits and my guild posters.
🌟 Do you remember what the first post in the group was about?
My first post in the Cooking Diary World FB group was a Food Truck outfits poster, which got a good response from the group members.
🌟 Do you have any funny stories about the group?
I still remember one funny crazy-face clone edit, posted by me in the group, which got an overwhelming response 😊
🌟 If you want to, you can say a couple of words to other players!
To all my dear CD friends and players!! Hope you are enjoying the game as much as I am. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each one of you for supporting me by liking my edits and encouraging me to create more edits.
Also, Cooking Diary is a game for relaxing, let's not take the game/players too seriously. Let's play CD, get more addicted to the game, and get more relaxed!!!
🌟 Thanks so much for the wonderful interview! We appreciate your time.
Thank you all for your time in reading my interview and thank you Cooking Diary's developers for this opportunity.
