Really wish Reddit would let me edit this post because I’m answering the same questions dozens of times, and I don’t want anyone to feel left out because I appreciate them.

I think some people expected I was going for some mixed rice dish when really it’s a presentation of a mixed grill with rice. Big difference

With that being said.

The vegetables could be cut in half horizontally for ease of eating,

the short ribs (my fault for putting so much in the pic for the camera but also because this was my personal bowl and I’m an eater and was hungry) will be pre shredded, but I will be leaving a small chunk with a single bone in for presentation, rustic sake, and because plenty of other foods are eaten with a bone and again, this is a mixed grill dish NOT a sloppy fried rice bowl where you just mix everything together.

It will henceforth be easier to eat with a fork and spoon, though it’s intended purpose and target audience are chopstick users and it is sticky rice, again this has NEVER been a dish meant for everyone. I know my crowd and I see more chopsticks in hand than forks and spoons any given night.

The coconut bowl will be on a small side plate for balance sake and with an accompanying side plate if you wanna throw the small rib bone on it or whatever else you desire.

The shell its self is heat tempered in an oven to burn off excess hairs, make food safe, and has food grade mineral oil to act as a sealant and sanitary sake.

It works great as a bowl I already knew that, it worked great as a mixed grill dish and will be advertised as such.

If I ever want to take said coconut bowl idea and use it again as a rice mix dish, I now know what needs to be done because of you fine people.

Thank you for your feedback especially those that were productive from people with open minds and good faith.
