She can cook up several tasty curry recipes at the Mum'n Curry House that can give you some major boosts during combat to give you the upper hand with bosses or just some annoying enemies that get up in Romeo's business.

With this guide, we'll go over how to cook the katsu curry and the ingredients needed to make each one in the restaurant, so you can earn the Romeo is a Hot Man trophy/achievement in Romeo Is a Dead Man. Let's get into it!

You can find your mom's curry room right next to the weapon upgrade room, a little bit north of your bedroom. Once you speak to her, you'll see a list of katsu curry recipes. You won't be able to make most of the meals at first, but once you keep playing and unlock more ingredients, more will become available to you.

You'll honestly gather most of these ingredients organically through the spaceship driving sections at the start of each chapter, finding them in those shiny cube item boxes in the field, and if you're desperate, you can even purchase them from Shiroyabu's item shop in the room above your sleeping quarters.

Here are all the Katsu Curry meals, their ingredients, and the effects they have on Romeo:
