****************************************************************
The restaurant, located at Shop Nos. 9-10 on the ground floor of Ho Sing Building, 28 Kam Fai Path, Yuen Long, was ordered to suspend business from today (May 29) to June 11.
"Two convictions for the above-mentioned breach were recorded against the shop this February. A total fine of $4,200 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 licence suspension," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
The licensee of the shop had a record of two convictions for the same offence in October and December last year. A total fine of $5,100 was levied and 30 demerit points were also registered. The breaches led to a licence suspension for seven days this February.
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).
