A popular halal buffet restaurant has been suspended for two weeks by the National Environment Agency (NEA) for selling unclean food and failing to keep its premises clean.

The Landmark, located on the fifth storey of Village Hotel Bugis in Victoria Street, will cease operations from Tuesday to Sept 10.

NEA said in a statement on Tuesday that the restaurant was suspended as it had accumulated 16 demerit points over the past year. The restaurant was also fined $1,100.

The Landmark claims on its website that it serves the best halal buffet in Singapore. Lunch and dinner buffets cost between $30++ and $40++ for an adult.

Its spokesman told The Straits Times yesterday that an item on its buffet spread, "Seafood on Ice", had failed a random check by NEA.

........The restaurant had previously posted videos on its Facebook page saying it would be closing for renovations. It clarified yesterday that the closure was mainly due to the suspension notice, though it will also undergo "uplifting work".
