presentation

i ordered two 304 stainless steel bowls from shopee:  a double-walled rice bowl and a single layer ramen / cold noodle bowl.


height of the rice bowl is 6.6 cm.  diameter of the rim is 12.5 cm; base, 8.1 cm.

the ramen bowl, height is 5 cm.  diameter of the rim is 16 cm; base, 3.5 cm.

there were pictures of the items and i did notice that the base of the ramen bowl seemed too small.  i wondered whether it won't tilt over.  still, i went ahead and bought.  i wasn't really after a ramen bowl.  i just wanted something not double-walled i can use as a mold.

well, the bowls have been delivered.  the double-walled rice bowl i used to store my butter.  the ramen bowl today i used as a rice bowl.  i ate with a tray right on my bed and the ramen bowl does easily tilt over.

i was thinking there must be a reason the bowl is shaped that way.  i googled.

i learned the bowl is called ohgigatadon.

"Because of its steep-angled body, the contents you can put in is much less than bowls of other shapes.

...

[It is] most commonly used in high-end restaurants that focus on quality of the noodles rather than quantity."
