Our 1st Hong Kong BBQ

It has been almost 2 years since my last BBQ gathering. Felicia and I decided to organise a BBQ party for the clan in Hong Kong this weekend.

I was expecting the old fun of BBQ (like the ones at the East Coast Beach) – setting up the charcoal, getting the hands dirty, skewing the raw cold chicken wings and fanning the fire. Well, the pit at our club house comes with the gas-powered BBQ stove. There is no need for the traditional black charcoal. Just press a button to get the fire going. With a constant fire, it was so easy to get our food cooked. The club house also supply marinated food and BBQ utensils. We had our BBQ in a big cozy semi-outdoor garden with a 8-seater garden table. There is also a sink (with soap) and air-con toilets nearby. Everything is just so convenient here.

Somehow, I prefer BBQ outdoor in the wild – by the seaside. The elements of Mother Nature (like the wind / the rain / the sand / the bugs) were missing here. Hah Hah…I am not complaining…but this is a little bit too clean and "concrete" for me.

Sports Day (Before the Big BBQ Feast)

(Photo Taken: Sports Day @ Club House – Elkan was playing bowling on the iPhone while the rest of the adults were sweating it out. It’s Sports Day today at Joe’s club. Cousin Mike thrashed everyone in table tennis – with a very big winning gap. Sportsman of the Day goes to Hong Fei. He is the only one who did all 3 sports – swimming with Ethan and table tennis + bowling with the rest of us. So healthy for this old Ah Pek.)
