Hamburg Steak Keisuke suspended for 2 weeks, fined for offences including failing to keep premises clean
The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) will be suspending the licence of Hamburg Steak Keisuke at Peck Seah Street in Tanjong Pagar for two weeks from July 15 to 28.
The Japanese hamburg steakhouse accumulated 14 demerit points within a 12-month period and was fined a total of $1,000 for failing to keep licensed premises clean and failing to register an assistant.
There are multiple videos about the eatery posted online.
Hamburg Steak Keisuke posted on social media that the restaurant would be temporarily closed for "minor maintenance and upgrades".
It added: "We're taking this time to make some improvements and can't wait to welcome you back soon!"
All food handlers working in the suspended premises would be required to re-attend and pass the Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) Food Safety Course Level 1, before they can resume work as food handlers.
The licensee is also required to ensure that all food hygiene officers working in the suspended premises, if any, re-attend and pass the WSQ Food Safety Course Level 3.
SFA said food business operators should observe good food and personal hygiene practices at all times. This includes engaging only registered food handlers and ensuring upkeep and maintenance of licensed premises, including toilets within.
