The taste of this curry mee is just so addicting. The curry soup was very thick yet smooth. Customer can taste its herbs and spices fragrance as well as the coconut milk taste. Char Siew(roasted pork), chicken meat, and bean sprouts are added as complements. Compared to the other curry noodles in Ipoh, Yee Fatt's version is slightly thicker in gravy, but without the usual ingredients like cockles, roasted pork, and prawns.

Other than the ordinary curry noodle, the other famous flavor they have is the dry curry noodle. This noodle is mixed with soy sauce and topped with a scoop of thick curry paste, assorted with chicken meat and Char Siew(roasted pork). The curry gravy is aromatic, thick and not too spicy, while the chicken come with the curry are tender and moist. Roast pork, Char Siew(roasted pork) slices, beansprouts and mint leaves complete the ensemble. It is recommended to have it immediately when it reach the table as the noodles will soak up the gravy.
