11:43 PM 11/19/2002
-Started. I currently have 17 recipes completed. I don't have the numbers of
several of them.
I have always been a fan of the system of food in Suikoden II. Anyone who has
taken the time to explore the food choices will come to realize that, in
Suikoden II, food is significantly cheaper and more efficient than medicine.
In addition, the food typically included bonuses or status-changes! It was a
win-win proposition.
Now, there's a food system, with recipes and spices, in Suikoden 3 as well.
Since a FAQ hadn't been made before, I decided it was time to rectify the
situation. Below is a list of many food items and what gets created when they
are mixed with each spice.
You will note, most recipe numbers are missing. If you have them, or
guaranteed locations of a recipe not on this list, please email me at
. You will be listed in my Thanks To section :)

Summary Thus Far
Cheapest Food
Egg Roll, Thick Egg Roll, and Carrot Cake each sell for 150 potch
...but they only give 80hp!
If any of those, go for Carrot Cake..it's x6
Most Expensive Food
Everything under chinese banquet is as expensive as you get.
Note the insane price of Flaming Ocean SP for 10000!
Bang! (Best bang for your buck) - Most HP healed per potch spent,
For a single use
I hate to say it, efficiency leans heavily toward the cheapest...
In battle that just won't do. And since it's even worse looking at true bang,
here's a bit better...
Addendum: Thanks to Pork Bun, there's something useful in this category!
Best Bang:
1. Pork Bun+Nothing - Pork Bun x9
300p - 100hp
2. Pork Bun+Sugar - Peachy Bun x9
300p - 100hp
3. Pork Bun+Hot Sauce - Pizza Bun x7
350p - 150hp
Yes, 100hp is very low, but the difference here is that these things are
actually more cash-efficient (if you use them fast enough) than medicine!
At ~3hp per potch, they're 6x more efficient than Med-D (not lookin at more
because it's not the point)
Most efficient at 200hp:
1. Salted beef x6 - 900p - 200hp
2. ChickenCartilage x3 - 520p - 200hp
Here, I have to give it all to Salted Beef. At 200hp, it's efficient...
How does it compare to meds though? Megamed D x4 at 800 heals 300hp...
So far, it seems like you shouldn't use food for healing at all!!!
Most efficient at 300hp:
1. Shabu Shabu x4 - 1700p - 300hp
2. HotBeefTripeStew x4 - 1800p - 300hp
Um... Megamed D anyone? evne Megamed C :P
Most efficient at 400hp (as if we have to):
1. Chinese Banquet x3 - 3000p - 400hp
2. Candy House x3 - 3000p - 400hp
Guh! If you desperately need non-rare items that heal major HP, go for it...
Most food!
1. Royal Tot Meal x9 - 1200p - 150hp
Tough call..this is expensive, but it might be worth it for 9 small heals!
Most efficient res items...
only 1..but needs looking at
Flaming Ocean SP x1 - 10000 - 60% chance of recovering from KO
whoa! 10000 potch! And it comes in packs of 1
AND it's only a maybe-resurrection!
Why would we want this? It's the only item in the game you can use to
raise the dead. Great to heal someone who either ran out of Jizo's or
who doesn't have any at all... But it goes bad eventually... Yuck!
So what's food good for?
STATUS Effects!
These foods Berserk you:
1. IceCream+Soy Sauce - IceCreamTempura x6
500p - 100hp + 30% chance of berserk
2. HashedBeef&Rice+Hot Sauce - Curry Rice x2
1300p - 200hp + 60% chance of berserk
3. Lunch Box+Hot Sauce - Chili Prawn Meal x4
950p - 170hp + 30% chance of berserk
Curry Rice is nice, but only 2 each? Tempura seems better. You can use it
for light healing, then be happy if it berserks you.
These foods "status change" you:
1. ButterSautedClams+Hot Sauce - Spicy Clam Soup x4
450p - 100hp + 30% chance status change
2. TofuHotPot+Mayonaise - Dark Hot Pot x4
2000p - 250hp + 30% chance status change
Neither of these are so hot for efficiency. If you can afford it, might as
well go for the Hot Pot, as it includes better healing.
These foods give "invincible" status:
1. Lunch Box+Mayonaise - Fried-Prawn Meal x4
950p - 170hp + character is invincible
2. IceCream+Mayonaise - Fried Ice Cream x6
500p - 100hp + 30% chance of invincible
3. TofuHotPot+Salt - Mixed Hot Pot x3
2200p - 250hp + 60% chance invincible
Fried-Prawn is the best for this status, hands down. Half-decent HP healing,
guaranteed invincible. It's pretty much better in almost all respects than the
Hot Pot.
These foods give "boost" status:
(boost is stronger than invincible and always lasts exactly 3 rounds)
1. Skewered Chicken+Hot Sauce - Karaya Chicken x5
520p - 150hp + 30% chance of boost
2. Ice Cream+Hot Sauce - Grenade Ice x6
500p - 100hp + 30% chance of boost
3. Full Course+Salt - Kobold's Course x7
2300p - 280hp + 60% chance of boost
Kobold's Course is the best for this, hands down. It's a little pricy, but x7
and decent healing... Not for the penny-pincher, of course!
These foods cure various status:
1. Tomato Soup+Nothing - Tomato Soup x6
200p - 70hp + cures poison
2. Tomato Soup+Sugar - Tomato Juice x6
200p - 70hp + cures poison
3. Tomato Soup+Salt - Cherry Tomato x4
250p - 90hp + cures poison
4. Tomato Soup+Soy Sauce - Tomato Miso Soup x4
250p - 80hp + cures poison
5. Tomato Soup+Mayonaise - Tomato Salad x4

c. ButterSautedClams+Mayonaise - Mayo Shell Fish x3
420p - 120hp + cures bull's-eye
d. Grilled Fish+Sugar - Taiyaki x4
800p - 150hp + cures slowness
e. Grilled Fish+Soy Sauce - Dried Fish x4
820p - 150hp + cures poison
f. Ramen+Soy Sauce - Soy Sauce Ramen x4
2000p - 200hp + cure all neg status
g. Gratin+Sugar - Apple Gratin x4
950p - 150hp + 30% chance cure neg. status
h. Pork Bun+Mayonaise - Takoyaki x5
350p - 90hp + cures stun
i. Full Course+Mayonaise - Lizard's Course x4
2800p - 250hp + cures negative status
Several foods cause bad statuses, but will be left for future versions of the
faq, if at all!
