*******************************************************************
The restaurant, located at Shop 7 on the ground floor of Lai Hung Garden on 1 Tan Kwai Tsuen Road, Hung Shui Kiu, was ordered to suspend business from today (August 23) to September 5.
"Two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the restaurant licensee in December of last year and May of this year. A total fine of $7,000 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 concerned had a record of two convictions for the same offence in August of last year. A total fine of $5,400 was levied and 30 demerit points were also registered, leading to a seven-day licence suspension last December.
The spokesman reminded licensees of food premises to comply with the FBR and other relevant regulations, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
Licensed food premises are required to exhibit their licence and a sign at a conspicuous place of the premises, indicating that the premises have been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-search.html).
