“ Used to be a regular visit for bkt but probably would skip this place moving forward. Place is renovated, much cleaner environment but there are a few permanent resident houseflies as usual. Price increased but the soup lacks the addictive herbal taste, and there's only 1/2 a piece of button mushroom for a RM20 bkt?! The ginger wine chicken is good though. ”
“ A lot of fake monk giving blessing for money. They are more active than the services employee. They go from table to table and they can help to take order too. Been here many time for the tasty food, but need to order a few can of coke as I get very thirsty after that. Suggest that they bring in coke-zero. ”
“ The BKT soup was lighter than expected but it's good for those who prefer lighter taste. Sesame oil chicken was full of flavors. Salted vegetables are good. ”
“ Quite pricey 78rm for 1pax bak ku teh (add pork), 1 ginger chicken and a veg and 3 rice. The soup was on the lighter side. Other dishes also taste average. Place is air-conditioned. Friendly boss ”
“ Very surprised that they serve very good Bak Kut Teh. Thought it is a little far from town nevertheless the food serve is very good . The claypot wine chicken is fantastic. Waiters serve with a smile. ”
“ Taste is ok. Not much choice for drinks. Not many customers too. Price is a bit on the high side. Three of us ate there and paid RM 100 for the dinner - no alcoholic drinks. ”
“ Nice food and staff highly recommend the bkt soup, sesame oil chicken and vegetables with fried garlic! ”
“ I don't understand why the place is called Soon Fatt when clearly, the signboard spells "Soon Sheong". Has there been a change in management? The place is oddly empty, with only one family eating there when we arrived. We ordered the classic bak kut teh, taufoo pok and braised pig trotters. Having read the review by our local "Auntie Boleh" when she did a foodie review on it a month back, we were quite taken aback and disappointed with the food. There was no fish dishes, no veggy dishes and the bak kut teh and braised pork trotters tasted just "ordinary". Nothing unique or outstanding for us to remember them by. Tea leaves were not fragrant at all and we just ate quietly, wanting to just get over breakfast. The bill was on the high side, hence, sorry, but i think something has changed and I don't think i'll be back again. ”
