Siu Mei and Lo Mei Shop Licence
- The Siu Mei and Lo Mei Shop Licence only allows retail sale of siu mei (roast meat) and lo mei (braised food) supplied by a licensed food factory or other lawful source.
- The licence does not cover production. It only lets the holder sell the food and reheat it. You may not make siu mei or lo mei yourself. Many cha chaan tengs, roast meat shops, fast food shops, supermarkets and even Chinese restaurants simply buy in their stock and sell it under this licence.
- Free licence consultation. Contact our team.

Special requirements
- If the siu mei and lo mei shop takes up only part of the premises, for example alongside fresh provisions or fruit and vegetables, a wall up to the ceiling must separate the two to prevent cross-contamination between raw and cooked meat. The roast meat part must also meet all licensing conditions.
- The siu mei and lo mei sold must come from a licensed food factory or a supplier approved by the licensing authority, with one or more relevant certificates kept for inspection.

Siu Mei and Lo Mei Shop Licence FAQ
Does this licence let me make siu mei and lo mei?
No. The licence only lets you sell, not make. Production covers much more, and is usually mass production in industrial buildings, sold wholesale to restaurants and supermarkets for simple retail. If you want to set up a production workshop, contact us and we will follow up on the details.
I want to make and sell my own siu mei and lo mei. What should I do?
Apply separately for a Food Factory Licence. Or, if the premises are large enough to sell fresh or frozen meat, apply for both a Fresh Provision Shop Licence and a Siu Mei and Lo Mei Shop Licence and run the two businesses separately. The siu mei and lo mei part must be separated from the rest of the premises by a brick wall up to the ceiling, with its own entrance facing the street.
