Barbeque in Hong Kong

So after getting back from sightseeing, my friends called and asked me if I wanted to go Barbeque up in the New Territories, a section of Hong Kong north of the city. I thought, sure, thinking that it was something like a sit-down-Korean-barbeque restuarant. Hong Kong is so diverse, I thought, Korean food is not so out of the question. But nope, it really was barbeque, in a pit, over a grill. It was called the Whitehead Club, located near the shoreline, next to an old army lot, where apparently they used to hold Vietnamese refugees during the seventies. Wierd!

But now-a-days, parts of it has been converted into this barbeque area and a huge golf driving range. I was suprised, because I think these people really have something going for people to barbeque close-by to the city. Well, kind of anyway. It's so far, that I think I could have gotten a nosebleed just thinking about it. But the whole concept is intriguing. In a shack, you can buy everything you need for a barbeque, meat, vegetables, seafood, and even marshmellows! Everything is prepared for you, and you just have to show up and cook your own food. We even got a whole baby pig to roast. We are carnivores, by the way....

And then, who could pass up messing around on the driving range, too?
