Hey KF, nice to hear feedback from you. Yes, I prefer dry curry though as I love the intense curry paste against the smooth Ipoh hor fun.
If I remember correctly, they used to serve chicken and prawns regardless of whether we asked for them or not.
That being said, the place was still as popular as ever when we were there.
Taste is subjective, no doubt.

I haven’t had their dried curry in ages. Perhaps you should go for their curry soup next time, which seems to be crowds’ preferred choice. (Although Motormouth seem to prefer dry curry) The curry soup is the one that still draws me and other Sun Seng Fatt fans. Bout the prawns, I think you have to mention what you want with the noodles. For me, I never forget to state that I want “xiu yok” n prawns.
Another phenomena that convinces me Sun Seng Fatt is still pretty good is that there seems to be Indian patrons every time I dine there. That doesn’t actually mean anything but Indians did invented curry. (Correct me if I’m wrong. >.<)

P/S : Love your work Motormouth, Keep it up. =D

I just finished watching the 7 episode CCTV’s documentary, “A bite of China” , I am now crazy of Chinese food! It tells the histories and stories behind Chinese cuisine: The meaning and the symbol each represents;The connection between the nature and the people; The creation of unique foods and traditional recipes. Get to know Chinese life philosophy and the respect they have for the nature and food. This is the programme you can’t miss, so great!

Hi Bushido. To each his/her own. Although Sun Seng Fatt has incurred your wrath (or mine, in this case), there are hordes of fans still preferring the taste of their curry noodles to the others. Nam Chau everywhere else can be categorized as horrible (hence the outlet in First Garden has closed down, and not sure about the one near Simpang Pulai), but this original outlet in Old Town is STILL consistent in my opinion.

Xin Quan Fang is good, no doubt. A bit pricey and some might not like the fact that you have to brace the long wait and endure the sometimes hostile service. While you can see even Yee Fatt has backlash from the comment above.

Okay, this sounds pretty bad. I used to have mine with only char siew without the chicken though.

This place has gone to the dogs; just like many of the others which have gone the franchise route. Even worse is that Nam Chau in Kinta City; even Old Town Kopi servs better curry. Only the old ones like Sun Chuen Fong, Yee Fatt are keeping up their standard. Seriously, you owe it to your readers to remove these bad places from your much referred to list.
