Mangkuk Buah Nanas

Pineapple bowls or boats are carved out from fresh pineapples. It's made using the skin, which is usually thrown away. Serve seafood, meat or vegetarian meal in a pineapple bowl to make your food look exciting in this step-by-step guide.

The skin of the pineapple can easily be carved into a bowl to serve the meal of your choice. Fresh pineapple skin is usually thrown away but in countries like Thailand or even Malaysia and Singapore, the skin of the pineapple is turned into a bowl. This is commonly done in hawker centers and also restaurants. However, there is always fear of eateries reusing the pineapple bowls. If you make them yourself, you'll know that it's clean and fresh.

If the crown of the pineapple is still fresh, you can still cut it into half and leave it intact with the fruit. I've removed the crown in the video as it was already dry. Having the crown along does surely make the dish look even more beautiful.
