How come nobody told me there's a Hilo Hattie in Orlando?? Someone at work told me that she'd seen a "Hawaiian store" so I went to check it out and it's Hilo Hattie! I bought some Tiki Farm mugs, of which they have a pretty good selection. It's not a huge store but it's neat to be able to go in and browse all the tiki items. You can even get a coconut monkey for 3 or 4 bucks. They've got clothes, mugs, tikis, CDs, food etc etc.

They have live hula shows in the mall twice a month. The next one is next Saturday the 22nd at 1pm. I wouldn't expect too much of the hula show being in a mall and all.

So anyway, they've been open since April and apparently aren't too well known. So go buy a Tiki Farm mug or some chocolate macadamias or a tiki hula shirt or something. They're inside the Festival Bay mall just a few doors down from Ron Jon's. It's the shopping center behind the Outlet Mall off I-4 and Kirkman Road that has the huge Bass Pro Outdoor World store and Van's Skatepark.

Also for anyone in Orlando that's interested. There's an apartment complex on S Conway near Curry Ford Rd called Mai Kai Apartments. They don't look too tiki except for the big Moai that sits out front. Someday I'll have to snap a pic.
