One-Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant Summer Palace and the Regent Hotel’s banquet kitchen have had their food hygiene grade lowered to a “C”, after 43 people fell ill from eating there last November.
In a statement on the National Environment Agency’s (NEA) website, it said guests suffered from symptoms of gastroenteritis, or what is commonly known as “stomach flu”, after eating food provided from Summer Palace and the banquet kitchen on Nov 11, 2017.
Following the food hygiene demotion on Jan 29, NEA said it will be reviewing their status again in a year, while keeping the premises under surveillance.
The two establishments previously received an “A” food hygiene rating according to NEA’s website.
Summer Palace, which specialises in Cantonese cuisine, received its one Michelin star last year.
