Korean Melamine Plate

These melamine plates were originally used by Korean street food vendors during the 80s and 90s. Since they didn’t have access to running water to wash the dishes, they would cover the plates with disposable plastic bags before serving dishes like ttukboki, soondae, or oden. From these humble roots, the plates and bowls have now become iconic, representing the time of the street food boom in Korea.
