Delivery Information

Price Match

The APS Asia+ bowl is a small melamine serving bowl in a contrasting red and black colourway, designed for use in buffet, sharing, and themed food service settings. Sold individually, it measures 75mm in diameter and weighs 45g, making it a compact, lightweight option for front-of-house use.

Melamine is a practical choice for busy service environments. It handles the knocks and drops that come with high-volume buffet service far better than ceramic, and unlike ceramic, it will not chip or crack under normal handling. The dimpled exterior texture gives staff a more secure grip during service, which matters when bowls are being moved quickly or handed to guests.

  • Melamine construction — more resistant to breakage than ceramic alternatives
  • Dimpled exterior provides a secure grip during busy service
  • Compatible with commercial dishwashers, simplifying post-service cleaning
  • Lightweight at 45g, reducing fatigue during extended buffet set-ups
  • Contrasting red and black finish suited to Asian-themed or contemporary buffet presentation

The bowl is compatible with commercial dishwashers, which keeps cleaning straightforward and reduces the risk of breakage that comes with hand-washing ceramic pieces at volume. It is best suited to operators running Asian cuisine, themed buffets, or any setting where a consistent, visually coherent table or buffet display matters.

This is a single-piece item. Operators outfitting a full buffet counter will need to plan quantities carefully based on covers and turn frequency. For operations requiring larger serving vessels or a broader matching range, other pieces within the APS Asia+ collection may be worth considering alongside this bowl.

If you are building out a buffet range and want to talk through quantities or coordinating pieces, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Is this bowl suitable for hot food service?

Melamine is generally used for ambient or cold food presentation rather than hot dishes served directly from the kitchen. For hot food, operators should check the manufacturer's guidance on temperature limits before use, as melamine can absorb heat and is not designed for oven or microwave use.

Can these bowls be used in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, the APS Asia+ bowl is suitable for commercial dishwashing. Melamine is more tolerant of the high-temperature, high-pressure cycles used in commercial machines than many ceramic alternatives, though prolonged use at very high temperatures over time can cause gradual surface dulling.

How many bowls should I order for a buffet operation?

That depends on your cover count, your buffet layout, and how frequently you intend to replenish. As a general guide, operators running a continuous buffet typically hold enough pieces to cover two full table set-ups, allowing one in service while the other is being washed. If you would like help estimating quantities for your operation, the team is happy to advise.
