About Lucky Plate Sett ta' Platti tal-Ikel

Il-Lucky Plate huwa sett ta' platti tal-ikel taċ-ċeramika fdawwar forma ta' tarfa ta' erba' weraq. Il-forma tat-tarfa ta' erba' weraq tirreferi għat-tama, l-għoti, l-imħabba u l-hena fit-tradizzjoni Ċiniża. Erba' ħżuż jinsabu fuq it-tarf ta' kull platt. Żewġ ħżuż iżommu l-pożati matul il-ikla, u ż-żewġ l-oħra jintużaw biex jitqiegħdu l-pożati meta l-ikla tkun spiċċat. It-tarf ifformat jgħin ukoll biex jipprevjeni li s-sos jinżel meta l-ikel jitneħħa. Il-platti huma manifatturati f'Jingdezhen minn porċellana ta' temperatura għolja li mhix tossika u sikura għall-mikrowave.

We usually put our cutlery on plate and desk when we enjoy our meal, which makes our hands or other exposed parts become dirty. Etiquette is used to encourage good table manners. It has four grooves located on the edge of plate. Two can stop the cutlery during the meal, while the other two are used to place the cutlery, which means the meal is over. These two sets of grooves have different usage when we use cutlery, which plays a important role in dining etiquette.
