A spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said today (September 10) that the stall enhancement works at the Queen Street Cooked Food Market have been completed, and the Market will officially resume full operation on Thursday (September 12).

     The Queen Street Cooked Food Market is the first project of the market stall enhancement pilot scheme under the Market Modernisation Programme. The project mainly focuses on beautifying the dining area and the appearance of the stalls, which includes enhancing the ceiling and lighting, replacing floor tiles, and reconfiguring dining furniture to create a bright, clean, and unified style, fostering a warm and comfortable dining atmosphere. The FEHD has also completed other routine maintenance and repair works, including replacing escalators and lifts, renovating restrooms, and replacing or repairing electrical and mechanical equipment and building services installation within the Market.

     With the endeavour of the FEHD and the Architectural Services Department, the stall enhancement works at the Queen Street Cooked Food Market commenced in February this year and were completed in August. The enhanced Queen Street Cooked Food Market features 11 cooked food stalls offering a variety of Chinese and Western delicacies, and provides more than 200 seats for the public.

     The FEHD will continue to advance other market development projects to keep public markets abreast with the times to meet public needs.
