Welcome to BBQBEACH.COM.HK. I’m Calvin—your host behind the smoke. This site runs on grilled food, first-hand experiences, and honest words.
You’ll find recipes, sauce experiments, tips from beach cookouts, and backyard meals gone right (and sometimes wrong). What shows up here comes from testing things over real fire, in real places—rooftops, parks, beaches around Hong Kong. Some links on this site might help pay for charcoal and site upkeep. If a product or service is mentioned, that’s because I’ve used it, grilled with it, or plan to again.
Copyright & Content Use
Everything on BBQBEACH.COM.HK—from the meat shots to the handwritten marinades—comes from my own hands unless otherwise credited. The content belongs to this site. That includes all recipes, photos, and how-to guides.
Feel free to share links, post on socials, or pass a recipe to a friend. If you want to use more than that, reach out. Republishing full posts or photos without permission isn’t cool—and goes against the spirit of this space.
If a recipe came from someone else, I give credit and link back. Respect works both ways.
Comments & Community
Every voice counts. You’re welcome to share tips, tweaks, and feedback in the comments. If something’s off-topic, harmful, spammy, or just plain rude, it might get removed. BBQBEACH.COM.HK is meant to feel like a gathering—let’s keep it that way.
Nothing here requires you to comment or create an account to view recipes. It’s open flame, open access.
Affiliate Stuff
Now and then, you might see links that lead to things I recommend—grills, tools, sauces, gear that holds up under heat. If you buy through those, I might earn something small. Doesn’t cost you extra. Doesn’t change my opinion. No sponsor writes this content. I cook it, write it, and post it myself.
Every affiliate link helps keep this BBQ space running—so I can keep sharing more tested rubs, seared skewers, and what’s working on my grill.
How Affiliate Links Work
Click a link. Buy something. We may earn a few coins from that sale. That’s how it works.
Let’s say you grab a cast iron grill pan, a bottle of soy-based BBQ glaze, or a set of heatproof tongs from a product we’ve mentioned. If that link is tied to an affiliate program, a portion of that sale circles back to support this site.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running BBQBEACH.COM.HK takes more than spare time. Hosting costs, ingredient testing, grill maintenance, broken spatulas—everything adds up. Affiliate earnings help pay for those things so we can keep testing skewers, tweaking sauces, and sharing what works.
This doesn’t mean every link earns money. Most don’t. But when they do, it means you’re helping without even noticing. And that goes a long way.
Current Affiliate Programs We Use
Amazon Associates
We’re part of the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. If you click an Amazon link and buy something, we may earn from that purchase. Easy as that.
Reward Style
This gives us access to links across multiple retailers. Helps us find decent gear without chasing ten tabs.
Other Retail Partners
Sometimes we work with brands or platforms directly. When that happens, we’ll let you know inside the post.
Allergies & Adjustments
Ingredients vary across Hong Kong, and not everything is labeled the same way. Some recipes include tips for avoiding common allergens like gluten, nuts, shellfish, or dairy—but always double-check before cooking.
Allergen advice here is based on personal cooking experience, not medical training. Read labels, ask questions, and adjust as needed for your table.
Cooking & Safety
Every recipe shared here was cooked in a real setting using ingredients found locally. That said, grills act differently, meat cooks at different speeds, and your tools might not match mine.
Use safe temps. Avoid cross-contamination. Grill with care. I’m not responsible for any food-related mishaps—burns, stomach aches, property damage, or anything in between. Keep an eye on your fire and your fingers.
Nutrition Notes
Any health or nutrition estimates shared—calories, macros, portion sizes—are best guesses. I use general tools and calculators to give a ballpark figure. Brands differ, prep changes things, and your results may vary.
This site doesn’t claim to diagnose or treat anything. For advice related to diets or conditions, check with a qualified health professional first.
Paid Mentions & Freebies
Sometimes, I get sent sauces, marinades, tools, or snacks to try. If anything shows up in a post because it was gifted or sponsored, that will be stated clearly in the content. Free stuff doesn’t guarantee praise. If it works, I’ll say so. If it doesn’t, it won’t make it here.
Trust matters. Especially in a place that’s built around fire and food.
Alcohol Mentions
Some recipes here use alcohol—beer for brines, wine for marinades, whiskey for glaze. That’s for flavor, not the buzz. Any mention of booze is meant for folks who are old enough to enjoy it legally where they live. No exceptions.
If you’re cooking with spirits, keep things safe. Hot surfaces and high proof don’t mix well. Grill with focus, pour with care, and skip the drink if you’re handling fire.
What We Recommend
Every product, tool, or ingredient mentioned on this site comes from experience. We’ve marinated, grilled, scrubbed, and burned through a lot of things to find what works. We only link to stuff we’d actually use here in Hong Kong—on a rooftop, by the beach, or next to a rusted old drum grill.
We don’t promote junk. If something makes it into a post, it earned its place.
Your Trust Matters
If you’re grilling with our recipes, we want your trust. We never write just to push products. We write because BBQ brings people together. Every item we recommend supports that mission.
If something doesn’t work, we’ll say so. If we love it, we’ll tell you why.
Disclaimer
This site exists to share firsthand BBQ wins, fails, and everything between. Every tip, recipe, and trick posted here comes from experience—smoke in the air, sweat on the back, and a grill that’s seen better days.
But we’re not responsible for what happens when you try something at home. We don’t guarantee perfect results, food safety, or flame control. Each grill setup is different. Ingredients change. So do outcomes.
Use what’s shared here as a guide, not a rulebook. If something goes wrong—burnt steak, missed marinade, sauce that didn’t stick—we’re not liable. Cook with care, adjust as needed, and trust your own instincts.
Links found on this site might lead elsewhere. We’re not in charge of what’s posted after you leave BBQBEACH.COM.HK. If something changes, breaks, or vanishes, that’s out of our hands.
Every opinion here is ours. No ghostwriting, no fluff. Just real food, real fire, and lessons learned one BBQ at a time.

Thanks for visiting. Now let’s get back to the fire.
