Product Description

Diamond Grill is a rich banquet where Salisbury Steak shares a menu with chicken fried rice, bird's nest soup sets the stage for Christmas pudding; where racism from whites for being Chinese and from Chinese for being white simmers behind the shiny clean surface of the action in the cafe. This story of family and identity, migration and integration, culture and self-discovery is told through family history, memory, glimpses of life, and the occasional recipe.
