The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has suspended the licenses of 2 eateries at Jurong Point shopping mall, namely Ya Kun Family Cafe and King of Prawn Noodles, for a 2-week period from 13 Dec 2023 to 26 Dec 2023. This action is a result of both establishments accumulating 12 demerit points due to food hygiene issues.
According to the notices on the SFA website, the suspension stems from both eateries failing to maintain their premises free of infestation on 2 occasions within a 12-month period, resulting in 6 demerit points each. Additionally, Ya Kun Family Cafe and King of Prawn Noodles each received a fine of S$800.
Ya Kun Family Cafe occupies 3 units— #02-K1, #02-K2, and #02-K4, while King of Prawn Noodles occupies 1 unit #03-08, as indicated in the notices issued on the website dated 13 Dec 2023.
