The Daily Ritual Set: Handcrafted Teak Bowl and Soup Spoon
Create a moment of calm in your day with this perfectly paired duo. This set brings together our 11 cm Small Wooden Bowl and our 18 cm Handcrafted Soup Spoon—two essentials designed for those who appreciate the tactile beauty of natural materials during their morning porridge, a midday snack, or a quiet evening soup. What’s in the Set? 1. The Small Wooden Bowl (11 cm)
Compact and versatile, this bowl is hand-turned from a single piece of teak heartwood. At 11 cm in diameter, it is the ideal size for a portion of fruit, nuts, yogurt, or a child’s first weaning meals. The deep, rich grain of the teak makes every bowl a unique piece of functional art. 2. The Handcrafted Soup Spoon (18 cm)
Designed with a deep, rounded bowl and a smooth ergonomic handle, this 18 cm spoon is a joy to hold. Unlike cold metal or flimsy plastic, the teak wood feels warm to the touch and carries no metallic aftertaste, allowing the true flavors of your food to shine. The Yompai Ethos: Simple, Safe, and Sustainable 100% Non-Toxic & Chemical Free
In keeping with our commitment to healthy living, these items are completely free from BPA, synthetic lacquers, and glues. Each piece is carved from solid wood and hand-sanded to a silky finish, ensuring your food only ever comes into contact with pure, natural teak. Naturally Durable & Antibacterial
Teak is nature’s most resilient wood for the kitchen. Its high natural oil content acts as a built-in moisture barrier, making these pieces resistant to odors, staining, and water damage. While other woods may become porous over time, teak remains solid and smooth. Kind to Your Home and the Planet
Our utensils and bowls are biodegradable and sustainably sourced. By choosing this set, you are opting for a plastic-free lifestyle and supporting the dignified work of Thai village artisans who have perfected these carving techniques over generations. Product Specifications & Care

Yes. Because the bowl and spoon are completely non-toxic and won't shatter if dropped, they are a popular choice for parents following Montessori principles or looking for sustainable weaning sets. Does the wood get hot when eating hot soup?
One of the best features of teak is that it is a natural insulator. The spoon stays cool to the touch and the bowl protects your hands from heat, making your dining experience much more comfortable than with metal or ceramic. Will the bowl stain if I eat colorful foods like berries or turmeric?
Teak’s natural oils make it highly resistant to staining. While we recommend rinsing soon after use, you’ll find that it resists deep stains far better than lighter woods or bamboo.
