Spice up your Chinese takeout dinner, Jan 11 2003
By Walter Reade - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Takeout for Two (Paperback)
This clever little "box set" contains just enough to spice up an otherwise dull Chinese takeout dinner. The set contains two placemats printed with the Chinese astrology animals and descriptions, two decorative paper lanterns, two pairs of mini chopsticks, two ceramic chopstick holders, a dozen or so fortune cookie fortunes (minus the cookie), and a small booklet with ideas on how to make the most of your takeout experience. The booklet explains some of the main Chinese dishes, secrets for ordering Chinese food, recipes for making your own "takeout," the art of serving, and a section on teas. Overall, the package might be novel for enough to use for a novel date or two, but don't expect repeated use. While you can save the lanterns and chopstick holders, the remaining items are unlikely to stick around long. And don't count on using the mini chopsticks included in this set. They are for novelty only -- there is no way you can eat with them.

"Takeout For Two" should be called a starter kit, Mar 18 2012
By Rachel A. Davis "loves mini kits and video games" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Takeout for Two (Paperback)
"Takeout For Two" should be called a starter kit more than anything else. The booklet is a starter for the recipes that make an awesome dinner for two. The chopstick rests are the right size but the chopsticks themselves are too small to be used as eating utensils (you have to bring your own). The paper (heat-resistant silicone would have been a better material) lanterns should have been made bigger because only the narrowest lights will fit inside the lanterns. The placemats should either be laminated or stocked up on, which means you shouldn't expect the placemats to last for more than a few uses.
