Hey what a cool name!
Wow! Another Alberta TCer. Soon we'll need to get a bigger phonebooth for our annual regional convention.
Never heard of it or was that the one in SanFrancisco a while back?
The very first tiki mug I bought at a thrift store is from Calgary:
The bottom says "Hing Wah Co, Calgary, 266-3180". Is this a restaurant & does it still exist?
Have to check, sounds more like an import shop in Chinatown. They have limited amounts of tiki stiff there.
These mugs are fairly common here, I have 3 and I see them every once in awhile.
If you or emspace (or any other TCer for that matter) are ever in Edmonton, let me know & we can meet up.
That would be so tiki.
There aren't any tiki bars here, per se, but I just discovered that there's a Malaysian restaurant that makes "old school" tiki drinks -- mai tais, scorpions, suffering bastards, doctor funks, etc. They even serve some of them in moai bowls they got from Trader Vic's.
You should try taking some digital phots and sharing with the rest of us depraved(deprived) souls!
My eyes bugged out when the waiter brought one to the next table (I tried to buy one from the bartender but they only had about six and weren't going to part with them).
You could probably get a decent reproduced one at TikiFarm.
The decor isn't all it could be (no tikis, no fishnets, etc.) but they do have fake palm trees all over the place, those wicker chairs with the big round backs (I forget what they're called)
Queen Bamboo chairs
at some tables, and the waiters wear tropical shirts. Best of all, the food is fantastic!
Great to meet. Tiki lives again!
