Orient-mania: the best products for oriental-inspired venues

Orient-mania is raging: RGLife guides you through RGmania's assortment of the best products for oriental-inspired venues, from ethnic to fusion venues.

Oriental-inspired venues: supplies from RGmania

There are many aspects to consider when deciding what style to give your Oriental restaurant-whether it is a specific Oriental restaurant, an ethnic restaurant, or a fusion restaurant. Creating such a place means expressing the peculiarities of a world within the space we have available in ours.

The way to do this successfully is to find a coherent narrative that can emerge from every detail, as beauty and distinctiveness find form in the décor, but also in the supplies and equipment. All without falling into clichés, including recognizable elements of one's idea and culture of those places in the design, without elements that overly indicate their belonging.

RGLife guides you in this regard in the RGmania assortment, to set up in perfect oriental style, choosing from the best and trendiest oriental-inspired products.

Wok, strainer and creamer

We start in our review from the Samoa Arcos wok, a kind of nonstick aluminum pan or frying pan (but in Cantonese it means 'pot') that combines functional design with cutting-edge technology; although the name recalls the oceanic state and the use is widespread throughout South and Southeast Asia, it is believed to have originated in China and is still widely used there.

For straining noodles and pasta in general, but especially soba, noodles and vermicelli, the appropriate tool is the Chinese stainless steel noodle strainer, with a very ancient origin but with a geographical definition ranging from Southeast Asia to the Far East.

In Japanese style, on the other hand, is the Tamago crepe pan, a square iron pan used in Europe for cooking crepes, while in the Far East precisely for tamago, Japanese omelets.

Sushi placemat and Nu Bento Box

If you are looking for an original product in its simplicity, here is the bamboo sushi placemat, which is ideal not only for making uramaki, futomaki, hosomaki and rolling sushi quickly and easily, but also for setting up ethnic-flavored mise en place in place of classic placemats.

Did someone say delivery? Thanks to Steelite's Nu Bento Box, takeout becomes safer and more hygienic and outdoor dining easier to prepare and manage. These tray-containers typical of the Japanese culinary tradition-available on our site in white melamine o gray melamine and with lids white e gray sold separately-are used for both single and multi-portion meals and equipped with inserts so that cutlery can be inserted as well as sauces and side dishes.

Global knives

As for knives, an effective and attractively designed one is the Global stainless steel Santokuknife, a Japanese word meaning 'three ways,' the three cutting tasks for which it is designed: slicing, dicing and mincing.

Also marked Global and made of stainless steel is the yanagi sashimi fish knife, originating in western Japan and designed for making sushi as well as working with fish, octopus and other seafood.

Oriental-style teapots and cups

For a sweet ending, there can be no shortage of teapots: the latest addition to RGmania is the Tea for One, or a set consisting of a cup and teapot, in white porcelain, decorated with the classic sakura flower, the Japanese cherry blossom whose bloom is known worldwide.

Serving only as a teapot is the Crane, also made of white porcelain and equipped with a steel filter for effective brewing; the design depicts in soft colors cranes, the birds that in Japanese tradition are associated with strength, honor and loyalty, representing peace, happiness and good omens.

If you are looking for a colorful teapot, the Celadon in green porcelain is for you: tall and capacious, with a color reminiscent of Chinese tea, the name refers to the typical Korean pottery of the Goryeo period, also widespread in China and the Far East, the use of which is based on a vitrine, i.e., a transparent vitreous coating; on our site you will also find the matching cup.
