These chopsticks are from the Dynasty restaurant in the Sheraton Dameisha Hotel where we had dinner Thursday night : lacquered with metal ends. (See the dragon in the picture?). I have seen really expensive sticks carved from jade. But it turns out for me that the lowly bamboo ones we use at lunch in the cafeteria every day are the very best : light and with tips that can hold on the morsel of food that is picked up from the plate or the bowl.
