FEHD orders Kowloon City restaurant to suspend business for 21 days
*******************************************************************
     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a restaurant in Kowloon City to suspend business for 21 days as the operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by extending the business area illegally and altering or adding to the matters specified in the approved plan of the food premises.
 
     The shop, Ho Ho Kitchen, located at Shop A1 and A2 on the ground floor of 45 Carpenter Road, Kowloon City, was ordered to suspend business from today (March 8) to March 28.
 
     "In June, November and December last year, four convictions for the above-mentioned breaches were recorded against the shop. A total fine of $10,000 was levied by the court and 45 demerit points were registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in a seven-day and a 14-day licence suspension running consecutively," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
 
     The spokesman reminded the 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 have been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/index.html).
