FEHD orders restaurant in Wong Tai Sin to suspend business for 14 days
**********************************************************************
The restaurant, located on the ground floor at 4 Po King Lane in Tsz Wan Shan, Wong Tai Sin, was ordered to suspend business from today (February 27) to March 12.
"In April and November last year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breaches were recorded against the restaurant. A total fine of $10,000 was levied by the court and 30 demerit points were registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in the 14-day licence suspension," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
The licensee of the restaurant had a record of two convictions for extending the business area illegally in October in 2017. A total fine of $6,500 was levied and 30 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to licence suspension for seven days in January last year.
The spokesman reminded licensees of food premises to comply with the FBR, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
Licensed food premises are required to exhibit a sign, at a conspicuous place near the main entrance, indicating that the premises has been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/index.html).
