This was not as self-evident as we tend to believe nowadays. Interesting how the new look of Bob Lee's menu mirrors the colors and lay out of the old one. It must have been the same menu designer who seemed too have been better versed in Asian style, judging by the fact that the Maori logo Tiki looks like a guy in make up --not unlike a Kabuki actor. I am noting this effeminate look because it seems even more evident in the inside of the menu for the South Pacific in Hallandale, Florida, which curiously swiped the Bob Lee menu Tiki: ...a design which, if we look at the rendering of the South Pacific on page 74 of Tiki Modern, was even meant to grace their oracle tower in giant form!
