Located in Ma On Shan, Whitehead Barbecue is one of Hong Kong’s most popular venues of its kind, partly thanks to its panoramic view of Tolo Harbour and the Pat Sin Leng mountain range. Its close proximity to Wu Kai Sha Beach means plenty of water activities are available, but those who prefer to stay dry can also rent out one of the seaside villas for some karaoke and mahjong to go along with Whitehead’s signature grilled suckling pig.
