Yuen Long seafood restaurant has to close for 21 days

Wing Loi Lau, a seafood restaurant in Yuen Long, was ordered to close for 21 days for violating the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by illegally expanding its business area.

The restaurant, located at Shop 1 on the ground floor of Ying Cheung House, 21-23 Kau Yuk Road, has been ordered to cease operations from July 4 to 24.

According to a FEHD spokesman, the restaurant received four convictions in December, resulting in a total fine of HK$28,500.

In addition, the 90 penalty points the restaurant had accumulated resulted in consecutive 7- and 14-day business suspensions.

The spokesperson reminded that licenses could be suspended or revoked if food establishment licensees fail to comply with the FBR and other relevant regulations.
