Diamond Hill | A Fujian Cuisine Worth Trying

Needless to say, this is a restaurant I make sure to eat at once every month. First, it’s close to home. Second, the food quality is pretty good. Recently, they’ve added a lot of new dishes. **Teppanyaki Salt-Baked Octopus** I’ve had this several times, and every time the quality is consistent. The octopus is salt-baked on a teppanyaki grill, baked to absorb the flavors, with a slightly crispy and fragrant outer layer, and the meat is very tender. **Putian Swallow Skin Wonton Soup** A great appetizer that really whets the appetite. It already has a bit of vinegar inside. The wonton skin is silky, the broth is light, fresh, and slightly briny—really excellent! **Xinghua Fried Rice Noodles** Xinghua is famous for fried rice noodles. The noodles are fried until very dry, fragrant and smooth, paired with pork, shrimp, and more. Simple and delicious. **Fresh Scallops with Loofah** After eating so much meat, you need some vegetables. Fresh shellfish paired with loofah, very sweet and tender, the loofah is soft and easy to eat, with just a little seasoning—healthy and tasty. **Satay Seafood Hotpot** A dish I’ve been enjoying a lot lately. It’s a new dish, with satay sauce as the soul of the pot, loaded with seafood like shrimp, crab, and shellfish, cooked into a rich seafood hotpot, mildly spicy, perfect with rice. 📍Putian Shop 214, 2/F, Hollywood Plaza, 3 Lung Poon Street
