Review: My cupboards are a menagerie of dishes from all areas and eras. The areas tend to be hand-me-downs or thrift stores, and the eras tend to be somewhere in the 1970s, but there are a few others there. I'm not worried about having a set of matching dishes with which to impress my guests. I'll rely on my masterful cooking to do that. What I need in a cupboard is enough dishes to hold my cooking during its tumultuous travels from pot to guest's gullet. That being said, it doesn't hurt to add a little more variety to the already haphazard collection of flatware I have collected throughout my years. With this purchase, I went for Chinese restaurant decor. I didn't really plan it, but I happened to be in Chinatown and Sunlight Kitchen happened to have just about everything my kitchen might need at just about the right price. These plates are made of a tough plastic which also won't detract from my elegant cooking and, from a distance, look as if I stole them out of the Asian pottery department of the Art Institute of Chicago. As a plate, they hold food well and clean easily too. What more do you want from a plate?
