Quallys Syok Segarnya @ Greenlane, Penang.

A perfect spot for both curry and seafood lovers is Quallys Syok Segarnya, a new dining spot along Greenlane. Helmed by Chef Kak Ayu who was previously manning her business at Burmah Road, Quallys runs on a completely different concept where diners get to handpicked the ingredients from the selection of fresh catch of the day (Barramundi, Grouper, Seabass, Prawns, Squid, Mussels etc) and the kitchen will cook them according to the type(s) of curry chosen. On top of the seafood, there are also some side dishes available- Mango Kerabu, Ulam, Ayam Goreng Bawang etc. Prices are slightly on the steeper side but the quality is superior. A note to take- the place is not air-conditioned; but if you are a fan of local Malaysian Curries and Seafood, this place is worth checking out.

Fish Curry (Barramundi- Rm 11/ kg and Ladies Finger- Rm 1.90)

Assam Pedas (Sotong- Rm 12/ kg and Tiger Prawns- Rm 19/kg)

Ayam Goreng Bawang (Whole Chicken Thigh- Rm 12 each)

Sambal Belacan (Rm 1.90)

There was a big crowd during our visit so it did take a little longer for them to prepare our orders. We had both Fish Curry and Assam Pedas (with Squid and Prawns). Both Curries were very good, we could taste the freshness of the curries as in they were made from fresh ingredients, not curry paste. There were plenty of herbs-residue in the curries; expertly seasoned and spooned extremely well with rice. Another popular dish- Ayam Goreng Bawang was delicious too... freshly fried to orders, crispy outside with juicy-tender inside... packed with an irresistible fragrance. They charge extra for the Sambal Belacan but it is worth it; it has an alluring Chili fragrance with a salty touch... worked well with Rice (you can order some Ulam to go with it but we gave it a miss).
