Enhancement and improvement works to commence in Mong Kok Cooked Food Market
****************************************************************************
The enhancement and improvement works in the Mong Kok Cooked Food Market will mainly focus on upgrading the entrance and dining areas of the cooked food market, including replacing ceilings, fans, roller blinds and ceiling lighting fixtures, as well as installing thematic lighting fixtures, electronic information panels, wash basins and umbrella dryers. The FEHD will also undertake other repair and maintenance works, including the replacement or repair of electrical and mechanical equipment and building services installations in the cooked food market.
The Government has been implementing the Market Modernisation Programme (MMP) since 2018. Through overhaul or redevelopment projects, stall enhancement projects and minor refurbishment or improvement works, the MMP improves the operating environment of existing public markets, facilitates tenants' business operations and provides a more pleasant shopping environment. The Queen Street Cooked Food Market is the first stall enhancement project under the MMP. The relevant works commenced in February 2024 and the Queen Street Cooked Food Market resumed full operation in September of the same year. Following its reopening, the average daily footfall of the Queen Street Cooked Food Market has increased compared with that before the enhancement works. The Queen Street Cooked Food Market has generally been operating smoothly and provides a modern and comfortable dining environment for the public. Moreover, stall enhancement works in the Ap Lei Chau Market Cooked Food Centre and the Luen Wo Hui Market Cooked Food Centre were completed in April and July this year respectively. Stall enhancement works in the Yue Wan Market Cooked Food Centre commenced in March this year and are expected to be completed by December this year.
The FEHD will continue to take forward the MMP to implement projects of various scales at suitable markets, with a view to keeping public markets abreast with the times to meet public needs.
