Puamana has a menu from that place and I have a small rice bowl. Our picture links are long dead, but maybe we can resurrect them. That was an old Chinese-restaurant turned Tiki. Probably long gone now. I don't know what exactly they served in those compotes. Kon Tiki had them too. Fruit maybe? Table centerpieces? Fresh gardenias? Anyone else have any ideas? Here in a vintage photograph of the kitchen at Sam's Seafood you can see similar compotes stacked and ready to go to tables. They are two-tiered though. Very strange. Sabu. PS: That's a nice find. Congratulations. [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy on 2005-02-07 12:40 ] [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy on 2005-02-07 12:44 ]
