FEHD orders light refreshment restaurant in Quarry Bay to suspend business for 14 days

     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a light refreshment restaurant in Quarry Bay to suspend business for 14 days as the operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by extending the business area illegally.
 
     The restaurant, Shun Nam Kitchen, located at shop 17 on the ground floor of Tak Lee Building, 993 King’s Road, Quarry Bay, was ordered to suspend business from today (July 13) to July 26.
 
     "In March and May this year, two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the licensee of the restaurant. A total fine of $7,200 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 business suspension," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
 
     The licensee of the restaurant had a record of two convictions for the same offence in September and November last year. A total fine of $4,500 was levied and 30 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to business suspension for seven days in December 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 are licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/index.html).
