Yes, just two years (+/-) before they closed, Junior Cabang decided to replace the stolen Bumatay Tikis out front. Unfortunately, he chose these Tolkien Tikis carved by some forest woodcarver up North.

The original Tikis were stolen one by one during the 90s, first there were four, I got to photograph them when there were three, then two than one.
They were a GREAT example of midcentury modern Tiki stylization ! :
