Delivery Information

Price Match

The APS Asia+ bowl is a small melamine serving bowl finished in a deep red with a contrasting dark exterior. The dimpled outer surface gives it a distinctive appearance and provides a more secure grip during service — a practical detail when staff are moving quickly through a busy buffet line. At 95mm in diameter, it is intended as a portion bowl rather than a main serving vessel, suitable for rice, noodles, sauces, soups, or side dishes.

Melamine is a sensible material choice for this type of service. It is considerably more resistant to chipping and cracking than ceramic under the knocks of a busy service environment, and it is safe for commercial dishwashers, which keeps turnaround times manageable during high-volume sittings. The relatively light weight — despite feeling solid in the hand — reduces fatigue for front-of-house staff handling multiple covers.

  • Resistant to chipping and cracking under everyday service conditions
  • Compatible with commercial dishwashers for efficient turnaround
  • Dimpled exterior aids grip during busy service
  • Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue over long shifts
  • Distinctive red and dark contrast suits themed and Asian-inspired menus

This bowl is well suited to buffet restaurants, pan-Asian and noodle concepts, themed event catering, and canteen environments where durable, visually consistent tableware matters. It is sold singly, so operators can build quantity to match their exact cover count. For operations needing a more neutral palette or a different size profile, the broader APS range covers a variety of finishes and dimensions.

If you are specifying tableware across a full dining room or event setup and want to discuss quantities, mix-and-match options, or suitability for a particular service style, the team is happy to help you get it right before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is this bowl suitable for hot food service such as soups or noodle dishes?

Melamine is suitable for serving hot food but should not be used in microwaves or placed in direct contact with very high heat sources such as induction surfaces. For typical hot buffet service — soups, rice, noodle dishes — it performs well within normal temperature ranges.

Can these bowls go through a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, the APS Asia+ bowls are compatible with commercial dishwashers, which makes them practical for high-turnover buffet or restaurant environments. Consistent commercial dishwashing does not compromise the melamine finish under normal operating conditions.

How many should I order for a buffet or dining room setup?

That depends on your cover count, service style, and dishwasher cycle speed. A useful starting point is calculating one to two bowls per cover plus a working buffer to account for ongoing wash cycles. If you are specifying for a larger operation or a multi-station buffet, it is worth talking through your layout before committing to quantity.
