Zun Seng Fatt
Situated next to Thean Chun, the shop famous for Ipoh’s “Kai Si Hor Fun” or Chicken Kuey Teow, Zun Seng Fatt has been around for quite some time, probably longer than I’ve thought. But only 2 stalls are here, one serving erm, Kai Si Hor Fun as well, and another quite popular for its pork noodles soup.
Choose to either sit indoors, or embrace the tranquil surrounding at the back of the shop
KYT was the one introducing me to this shop, as his dad had been frequenting this noodle stall quite often, almost every weekend. But I’m no big fan of soupy noodles, therefore giving this stall a miss all this while. But one can only has so much curry noodles, or Kong Heng’s popiah , or white coffee and toast before boredom sets in.
Lou Shu Fan with Minced Pork, and Pork Slices + Additional Egg (RM4.30)
Vermicelli with Minced Pork and Pork Slices (RM3.70)
What sets the noodle different from other stalls is the flavoursome broth, devoid of MSG, but instead with additional aroma from fried pork’s lard, lots of scallions as garnishing, and the sweet & juicy pork. Of course, you can opt for innards and other cuts if desired. My bowl of Lou Shu Fan with additional egg thickened the soup, and provided quite a substantial meal on its own. What’s more, it was a mere breakfast. Ended up we were still full right until lunch hours. =)
Can’t finish your bowl of noodles? Count on the pigeons on this ….
Nothing beats a good cuppa (the coffee’s pretty bad though, take note), and a piping hot bowl of soupy noodles to soothe the nerves, and jumpstart your day. Aaahhh ….. BLISS.

Wah so dilapidated; nice for the pics but not nice for the food.
LohShiFun should be nice with simple mince pork.

550ml Jar of Faith : yup, but pray no droppings on your head, or into the noodles!

the store next to pork noodle serves one of the best curry and dried curry noodle. not noticeable coz overshadowed by the pork noodle, definitely worth a try. I think the operators of the 2 store are sisters.

This Pork Noodles and Curry Mee stall already shifted to another location. New address: Two Six Restaurant at 26, Jalan Panglima, Ipoh. a few block away from the old coffee shop. Its the best pork noodles I’ve tasted since my teens until now. Strongly recommended. Its even suuitable for confinement ladies cos they don’t use chu tou kuat.
