Hawaii Arrives in Florence Oregon

Just as I was closing the Home Finders Service Real Estate office Saturday evening, in walked a gentleman clutching papers. Thinking that he might be looking for directions or a recommendation on a place to eat, much to my surprise he told me that he'd just bought the food trailer parked in the parking lot near the Florence harbor. AND that this week, he would be opening "A Taste of Hawaii," the very first foods from Hawaii in Paradise on the Pacific. The new owner is Christian "Kane Haole" Jakobsen. He was raised on Maui since a little keiki, as he puts it on his menu brochure. His father was a state known Hawaiian cuisine chef and restaurateur. Christian has been preparing Hawaiian food ever since he was born. The menu has a bit of everything and it all sounds fabulous, from fried coconut shrimp with pineapple ginger and orange marmalade to the pulehu style kalua pig and cabbage. He also offers sushi, including a veggie roll. Prices range from $3.95 to $6.95 and he'll deliver in the Old Town district. So mahalo and aloha from Christian and A Taste of Hawaii. Another reason to come to Old Town Florence, stroll the boardwalk and eat fabulous food. Contact me for all your culinary and real estate needs! www.oregonflorencerealestate.com
