Modern restaurants in Tseung Kwan O

Tseung Kwan O may look like just another satellite town, but it's teeming with celebrities. Most of them hang out at INA by Inagiku, the Japanese restaurant famous for teppanyaki and tempura.

The new outlet sits on the second floor of the Holiday Inn Express, and has a cool, slate-grey interior, a teppanyaki counter and a dedicated sushi and sashimi bar.

With the upscale restaurant just minutes down the road from the TVB studios, INA would seem ideally located for the network's personalities to grab lunch. Before the hotel opened in October, they would have raced off in their sports cars to more glamorous locales when their directors called "cut".

While Tseung Kwan O may not be the place to find the latest dining trends - there's barely a whiff of slow food, and only a whisper of organic - it is slowly gentrifying.

Sometimes called Junk Bay, the area is better known among locals for the stench of the nearby landfill. But new developments in the area include the cruise ship terminal in Kowloon Bay and the transformation of Kwun Tong into a financial district.

Hotels are being built in Tseung Kwan O to house an influx of business visitors and tourists. A new mall called PopCorn has quickly attracted big restaurant groups and beverage chains.
