my precious bowls

When I posted about my 4 Corelle bowls which became 3 because I accidentally dropped one and broke it, some of my blog readers in Singapore offered to get them for me at Takashimaya 🙂  This bowl design is kind of classic (been using them for over 15 years) and I can’t find it here anymore.  I am so touched by the offers from my readers but I don’t want to trouble them.  Besides, the bowl may break enroute to Malaysia (or even stolen).

One fine day, this cool mama emailed me and said that she saw the bowls in Down Under.  She has been keeping a lookout for me all these while. I am so touched again *sniff*  She asked if I would like to get them but I told her it’s too troublesome to send the bowls all the way from Down Under.  They could break or get stolen.  Guess what?

Mott bought the bowls for me!! Yes, not 1 but 2 bowls so that I would have a spare one in case one breaks

The bowls all the way from Aussie land.  Mott asked her hubs to take them back to Boleh land.  Mr. T passed them to this hot mama and I got them from her today.

Another view of the lovely bowls.  I know, some of you may be thinking that I am crazy to go goo goo ga ga over the Corelle bowls. If you are a Corelle fan, you would understand why 🙂

I just want to say Thank You Very Muchie, Mott.  You are so nice and thoughtful.  I really appreciate your kind gesture.  I will take very good care of the bowls 😉

    I use to have some too but broke them…so now sticking to the traditional Chinese blue dragon bowls – cheaper! 😀

    I thought they don’t break easily cos I have been using them for over 16 years now. Err…Corelle is so cheap in the States, compared to here, don’t you think so?

  10. once a collector, always a collector. You’d better treasure those gems before the design becomes extinct. I collect plums and ask my sis to keep stocking up for me frm Sg. I think Tangs has better collection than Taka. Anyway, guard those bowls like gems…. 🙂

    Nice bowl set from a great friend you have. I know this Corelle bowl material. Very fine and top quality one. The price also very nice.. I’m “rough” in a way handling kitchenware, so I don’t think I’m suitable to have this in my kitchen.

  17. Dawn says:

    Yes, it’s cheaper, but my hubs say the chinese blue dragon bowls very unique wor and it’s still cheaper than than corelle!! char tou!!! The corelles we had were broken to pieces from 6 feet high drop…thanks to the klutzy hubby!
