Cool Tomato is unlocked by clicking on the tomato guy inside of "IT", he has sunglasses on and is therefore cool.

Two more. I still can't figure out "Cool Tomato" so if someone solves that mystery, please share!

A Thief - Once you have the stone, offer to help find the lady's snake and she'll give you her spotted one. Leave the hotel with the spotted snake.
The Salmon of the Opera - Turn on all four stage lights in the basement.

Dine and Dash - Have less than 20G and try to buy the Salmon Pie from the waitress on the second floor. She'll give it to you for free and you'll also net the achievement.

There are 11 new achievements with the last update (12/31/19). I have found six new ones so far:

Greedy - With one bread already in your inventory, ask the baker for a second one.
Make a Wish - Throw 100G into the fountain (I have not tested the 10G option yet).
Fashion Leader - Buy all three cosmetic items from the mart.
New Body - Get a massage on the fifth floor.
A Gourmet - I got it after cooking an Onon all three ways (deep fried, pan fried, and broiled).
Food Poisoning - Wait for the bread to turn stale in your inventory, then eat it.

I didn't have every single conversation with the guests/staff and got "Talktative". I just had to talk to every single staff member, it triggered after I talked to the last one I was missing. :butterfly:

I just found another Korean guide which is not in Steam, here's translation:

Annoying Guest: talk to one hotel staff(maybe anyone) and insta end the conversation with 'bye', repeat this 5 times in a row.
An Expert Cook: just cook a lot.
Quiz Crasher: get a wrong answer 10 times on the question from room 402.
Relaxed: sit on any sofa for about 15 mins.
Talkative: talk to every hotel staff. (not including their one-sided lines when you can see after you get to know the truth)

(note that I'm not sure which one is more accurate)

No, it's okay. I got both by pushing one chicken too (and it wasn't meowing chicken). It will be probably fixed as it happened to another achievement before.
