8 Popular Chinese Dishes You Must Try at The Qing  in KL 

The menu brings together premium pork-free Chinese cuisine, refined banquet-style dishes, and fresh ingredients prepared with the kind of detail that turns dinner into an occasion. 

This list highlights eight must-try popular Chinese dishes at premium Chinese restaurant, The Qing to help families, corporate groups, and celebration diners plan a meal that feels generous, polished, and memorable.

	1. 48 Air-Dry Roasted Irish Duck Bite into the leg of this duck and the 48 hours of air-drying show immediately.  The skin shatters on contact, the meat pulls apart tender, and the Tong Kwai herb marinade lingers in a way a quick-roasted duck never manages.  The Irish Duck set paired with Golden Fried Chicken in Thai mango sauce and Australian Beef Striploin in Szechuan Ma La paste, is a spread that turns an ordinary family dinner into an occasion. Price: RM388 per set, serves 4 to 6 pax Strengths: Rich, herb-forward flavour and a shareable portion for family tables Best for: Family dinners wanting a roasted centrepiece
2. Live Tiger Grouper Hotpot The fish arrives at the table still glistening, sliced fresh for sashimi, then simmers moments later in a broth that turns richer with every minute it bubbles.  The Tiger Grouper set delivers that theatre alongside Homemade Sui Gao Dumpling and Handmade Fresh Prawn Paste, is built for diners who want the drama of live seafood without committing to a large table. Price: RM388 per set, serves 3 to 4 pax Strengths: Two textures from one fish, suited to first-time hotpot diners Best for: Diners trying live seafood hotpot for the first time
	3. Star Grouper with Steamed Abalone Hotpot Abalone carries a reputation for banquet tables only, yet the Star Grouper set brings it within reach of a regular family dinner.  Steamed in master coriander sauce, the abalone turns silky rather than chewy, and it sits alongside a Deep Fried Star Grouper glazed in Thai mango sauce, a pairing that feels like an upgrade without demanding a banquet-sized guest list. Price: RM438 per set, serves 3 to 4 pax Strengths: Adds a premium ingredient without moving to the largest set size Best for: Diners marking a special occasion without a large group
4. Australian Lobster Nothing signals celebration quite like a whole lobster landing at the table, and The Qing’s Australian Lobster set leans fully into that moment.  Sesame honey Tiger Prawn and black pepper Jumbo Squid round out a spread built for birthdays, anniversaries, and reunions where the meal itself becomes part of the memory. Price: RM888 per set, serves 5 to 7 pax Strengths: Scales to larger tables without splitting a group across bookings Best for: Birthdays, reunions, and larger celebrations

	5. Spicy Lime Steamed Fresh Jumbo Squid The first bite lands sharp and bright. Lime cuts through the chili, the squid stays snappy rather than rubbery, and the whole plate wakes up the table before the richer dishes arrive.  This starter appears across the Irish Duck, Tiger Grouper, and Star Grouper sets, setting the tone for everything that follows. Price: Included in Irish Duck, Tiger Grouper, and Star Grouper sets Strengths: Light, acidic contrast before the richer mains arrive Best for: Diners who enjoy a citrus-chili starter
6. Wok Fried Black Pepper Jumbo Squid Where the lime version cools the palate, this one turns up the heat.  The squid gets wok-fried until the edges char slightly, coated in a black pepper sauce that clings instead of pooling.  It replaces the lime-steamed starter in the Australian Lobster set, giving the biggest table on the menu a starter with enough punch to match the mains. Price: Included in the Australian Lobster set Strengths: Pairs well with the richer lobster and prawn courses Best for: Diners who prefer bold, savoury flavour over citrus notes
7. Handmade Fresh Prawn Paste Drop a spoonful into the simmering broth and watch it firm up within seconds, springy in a way frozen prawn balls never manage. Every hotpot set at The Qing includes this Handmade Fresh Prawn Paste, hand-shaped instead of pre-formed, turning a simple dip into one of the table’s most-requested bites. Price: Included in the Tiger Grouper, Star Grouper, and Australian Lobster sets Strengths: Firmer texture and fresher taste than pre-packaged alternatives Best for: Hotpot diners who want a handmade dip alongside the fish	8. Homemade Sui Gao Dumpling This dumpling cooks in the same broth as the fish and prawn paste, soaking up flavour that a pre-packaged version could never absorb.  It rounds out every hotpot set at The Qing, the kind of small addition diners remember long after the main course is gone. Key features: Homemade dumpling wrapper, chicken and vegetable filling Strengths: Rounds out the hotpot course without ordering a separate dim sum plate Best for: Dumpling lovers at the hotpot table
