Bamboo Sticky Rice Scoop

A small woven bamboo scoop used to portion sticky rice directly from its traditional woven serving basket (tip khao) onto individual plates or into hand-eating portions.

Material & Construction

Tightly woven bamboo or rattan strips, shaped into a small shallow scoop, matching the material and weave style of the basket it's paired with.

Traditional Uses

Portioning sticky rice at the table from the communal serving basket, sized for individual hand-eaten portions typical of Lao and Isan dining customs.

Modern Availability / Equivalents

A regular serving spoon substitutes for the practical scooping function, though it lacks the traditional material pairing with the woven rice basket.

Care & Maintenance

Keep dry and away from damp storage, since woven bamboo is vulnerable to mold; wipe rather than soak.
