Delivery Information

Price Match

The APS Asia+ bowl is a melamine serving bowl designed for buffet, banqueting, and food display use. The 130mm diameter makes it well suited to individual portions, side dishes, and small accompaniments. The red and black colourway gives it a distinct, considered appearance that works naturally in Asian-themed settings and themed events without looking out of place in general buffet environments.

Melamine at this weight class is a practical choice for busy service. It handles repeated use, stacking, and the inevitable knocks of a busy pass or buffet counter without chipping in the way ceramics would. The dimpled exterior texture helps with grip during service — useful when staff are moving quickly and bowls are handled frequently throughout a sitting.

  • Lighter than ceramic, reducing the physical load during set-up and clear-down
  • Suitable for commercial dishwashing, so it integrates with standard kitchen wash-up routines
  • The contrasting red and black finish holds up well visually under buffet lighting
  • Consistent sizing makes for neat, uniform table presentation across a large cover count

Being melamine, these bowls are not suitable for microwave use or oven heating. They are display and cold or ambient food service pieces — not intended for hot holding directly from cooking. That is a standard limitation of the material rather than a product-specific one, but worth factoring into your service setup.

These bowls are commonly used by restaurants with a pan-Asian menu, buffet caterers, and event operators running themed hospitality. They are sold singly, so it is straightforward to order exactly the quantity you need to match your cover count or replace attrition stock.

If you are building out a full table or buffet setting and want to make sure the rest of the range coordinates, the team are happy to help you put together a consistent set.

Frequently asked questions

Are these bowls suitable for hot food service straight from the kitchen?

Melamine is not suitable for microwave use or direct heat. These bowls are designed for ambient or cold food display and buffet service — think rice accompaniments, sauces, or cold starters rather than dishes served hot from the stove. If you need bowls for hot-hold or direct oven-to-table service, a ceramic or porcelain option would be more appropriate.

Can these be used in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, the Asia+ bowls are rated suitable for commercial dishwashing. They will handle standard rack wash cycles as used in most commercial kitchens, making them practical for high-turnover buffet and event environments where quick turnaround between sittings matters.

How many should I order for a buffet or event setting?

Because these are sold singly, you can order to your exact cover count. For a buffet, it is common practice to hold a buffer of 20–30% above your expected cover number to allow for simultaneous use and wash-up cycling. If you are unsure what quantity makes sense for your service style, the team can help you work it out.
