FEHD orders Yau Ma Tei restaurant to suspend business for two weeks
**********************************************************

     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a restaurant in Yau Ma Tei to suspend business for 14 days.

     The operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation by illegally extending the food business area.

     The restaurant, Temple Street Spicy Crabs, located on the ground floor at No. 210 Temple Street, was ordered to suspend business from today (November 18) to December 1.

     "In August this year, two convictions for the breach were recorded against the food establishment," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department said.

     "A total fine of $20,000 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 business suspension," he added.

     The licensee of the food premises had a record of two convictions for allowing staff to wash utensils used in the service of food in open space and illegally extending the food business area in October last year and April this year respectively. A total fine of $12,500 was levied and 15 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to business suspension for seven days in July this year.

     The spokesman reminded licensees of food premises to comply with the Food Business Regulation, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
