Questions we're asked most
Ordering
How do I order?
Send us the pieces, quantities and date by form or WhatsApp. We reply with a price and a delivery date.
Why aren't prices on the website?
Prices depend on the pieces, quantities and date, so we quote every order.
How early should I order for an event?
Send your date with your request and we'll confirm delivery in writing. Book early for Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and December.
Can I mix plates and bowls in one order?
Yes. Add everything to your quote list and we'll quote for it all together.
Food and use
Are they safe for food?
SGS, an independent lab, found no arsenic, no PCP, none of 70 pesticides and no harmful bacteria. We'll send the reports on request.
Will they hold laksa, curry or gravy?
Yes. We test every size with hot gravy, and every plate and bowl holds it without leaking.
Can I microwave them?
Yes, in short bursts. They passed an SGS test of five one-minute rounds with oily food. Don't use them in the oven.
Do all the plates look the same?
The sizes match. The colour and grain don't, because each one is a real leaf.
Storage and after use
How do I stop mould?
Keep cartons dry, off the floor and away from sinks and aircon drip. Keep pieces wrapped until use, and use older stock first.
What happens after use?
Areca leaf is a plant, so it breaks down in compost like any fallen leaf. Without compost collection, it goes in general waste.
