Laidback yet refined, District 8 Tseung Kwan O brings Parisian chic to Hong Kong’s coolest new precinct. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might have noticed that there’s something brewing in Hong Kong’s far east. If you haven’t been down to Tseung Kwan O recently (or ever) you’re in for a surprise. Once a sleepy backwater, the neighbourhood in Kowloon’s east is now cool as hell, with new restaurants vying for waterfront real estate and new luxury apartment complexes sprouting up behind them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s been a raft of new restaurants opening down in TKO, including Teppanyaki Mihara<\/a> and Pizza Pig<\/a> and the newest is District 8, a chic Parisian bistro and sibling to the Elements Mall outpost of the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creation of Woolly Pig Hong Kong, best known for their restaurants Hue<\/a>, INK<\/a>, Bathers<\/a>, and Big Sur<\/a> in Soho, District 8 Tseung Kwun O is perched on the edge of the Tathong Channel and features both indoor and alfresco dining complete with a vibe straight from the French capital’s iconic 8th arrondissement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catering to up to 120 guests, District 8 Tseung Kwan O<\/a> features a main dining room dressed in earthy-toned leather, timber, and vintage-esque floor tiles, with comfortable banquette seating, contemporary French wallpaper, a standalone cocktail bar in navy blue, an artisan ice cream counter in timber, and a pastry counter that promises some of the neighbourhood\u2019s best coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond, you’ll find District 8\u2019s alfresco patio, with its bistro-style rattan chairs in red and marble-topped tables creating a sophisticated waterfront space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a great spot from which to work your way through a comprehensive cocktail list by bartender Steffen Willauschus<\/a> that ranges from the Beef It<\/em>, Wagyu beef fat-washed bourbon, smoky whisky, burnt honey syrup, and bitters, garnished with housemade Wagyu jerky; and the French Breakfast Martini<\/em>, butter croissant-infused vodka with strawberry marmalade, egg white, and fresh lemon; to the Summer Rose<\/em>,<\/strong> a tall and cold blend of vermouth rouge, quince, cherry, rose water, and soda water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, do yourself a favour with the seasonal juice-driven mocktail selection, or sample from the 60-label wine collection, which is laced with boutique releases and hard-to-source drops – once you find a favourite, you can even take a few bottles home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Laidback<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You’ll also dine well at the new TKO eatery, with brunch, lunch, and dinner menus packed with the likes of grazing platters, confit duck, mussels mariniere<\/em>s; burrata topped with poached leeks and black truffle vinaigrette; ox cheek pappardelle; grain bread Croque Madame topped with a fried egg and cheese sauce; and an elevated take on steak frites using premium Australian beef cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s reason enough to leave your comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
