Bidders for fast food stalls are advised that –
1. The sale of pre-cooked fast food, bottled and non-bottled drinks, ice-cream and instant snacks is only allowed at the fast food stalls. Such activities require a Temporary Food Factory Licence issued by the Department on compliance with the requisite health requirements.
2. Scullery and washing of utensils are not allowed in or in the vicinity of the licence area and food preparation are not allowed in the vicinity of the licence area in accordance with Clause 23(b) of the Second Schedule of the Licence Agreement.

Electricity Supply

Illumination facilities will be provided for all Lunar New Year Fairs. No artificial lighting other than electrical lighting may be used by Licensees. Licensees may use batteries to supply electricity for their stalls. Alternatively, they may at their own costs arrange for electrical installation works for temporary supply of electricity to their stalls. The Department will appoint registered electrical contractors in some of the Lunar New Year Fairs (announcement about these Lunar New Year Fairs will be made during the auction) to provide additional illumination facilities and electricity supply. Licensees may hire the services from the registered electrical contractors appointed by the Department if they need additional illumination facilities or electricity supply. For venues where no registered electrical contractor is appointed by the Department, Licensees who need additional illumination facilities or electricity supply may appoint a registered electrical contractor to arrange for electrical installation works for temporary supply of electricity from the power company.
