[Utensils 101] - Udon Noodle Bowl & Buddha Bowl

College---it's definitely the place to find packages of ramen and cup noodles in a college kid's dorm...right?
Let's be honest. College kids aren't the best when it comes to making their own food (unless you're naturally super skilled and knowledgeable, or it's your major). So, what's the easiest and simplest thing they could make after microwavable foods? Of course, it's ramen and cup noodles! All you need to do is boil water, and with the technology to use a machine (electric kettle or water boiler and warmer) to do it, it's half the work for you!

Now that you finished cooking your ramen or cup noodles, how are you going to eat it?
Well, if you're eating cup noodles, all you need is eating utensils---chopsticks, fork or spork would work. But...what about when you're eating ramen?!? Yes, you can use the normal average old bowl, but let me show you something that's even cooler and allows you to do more!

I present you the "Udon Noodle Bowl" from Uncommon Goods! It's a blend of a mug and bowl, which allows it to fit comfortably in your hand. Plus! It has space built at the top to place your chopsticks (it also comes with a pair)! In my opinion, this product is perfect for a college student or anyone in general who loves to eat noodles!

Besides using it to eat noodles, you can use it to drink soup, eat cereal or as a regular drinking up! It saves you space in your dorm and money because you won't need to purchase additional utensils. But what I absolutely love about this noodle bowl is that it has a space especially design for a pair of chopsticks! No more rolling away or losing chopsticks under your desk! The bowl can be purchase from Uncommon Goods.

I don't really eat noodles that much, but I love the design---is there something out there for me?Never fear--the Buddha Bowl is here! It is designed to nestle naturally into your palm, similar to the Udon Noodle Bowl. You can use this bowl for a variety of things, such as drinking soup and hot cocoa (great for the colder days!) and eating rice and cereal. Once again, it's great because you can use it for more than one need, which saves you space and money. This bowl can be purchase from Uncommon Goods.
