Eat
Food in Genting is generally overpriced and mediocre. Local, Western and fast food are
available, but prices are often twice or more what the same meal would cost in Kuala
Lumpur. Most restaurants are halal to cater for the large number of Muslim visitors.
Budget
There are a number of fast food chains like McDonald, Burger King, KFC, and Marrybrown.
All these restaurants charge about 50% higher than what they charge elsewhere in Malaysia.
Try Marybrown's Nasi Lemak meal as breakfast: one piece of chicken, a hot tea/coffee, and
other Nasi Lemak condiments for RM ~10.
Penang Food Village, (Theme Park Hotel). would be unremarkable anywhere else in
Malaysia, but in Genting it's a notch above the competition: prices are reasonable
(most remain under RM10), there are no crowds or clouds of smoke, and the food is
tasty. Try the lor mee (noodles in black gravy). The spicy prawn noodle soup and the
Penang Fried Kway Teow are not to be missed.The prawn noodles are nice too.
Herbal soup near Genting Skyway- It's just a small shop selling herbal soup from RM8.80++.
You can add rice for RM2++. Tasty soup and affordable price. One of the cheaper food
options in Genting.
Mid-range
There are some decent Chinese restaurants like the Causeway Bay (FW Plaza Second floor)
and Shanghai 10 (FW Plaza Main Atrium). They serve good food and a meal for 3 (1 main
course, side dish and a drink per pax) should not cost you more than RM 60.
Genting Mushroom Farm has a restaurant offers chinese food, which is easily accessable by
car.
Splurge
going to splurge, you might as well go whole hog and try the Wagyu steak, flown in
directly from Japan.
Drink
Nightlife in Genting is very limited. There are four (4) bars of any description in the entire
complex, three of them (Safari, Cloud 9, All Sports) in the lower level of the Genting Hotel
and one (Patio) on the second floor of the First World Hotel.
Safari, Genting Hotel (lower level). Tropical jungle theme, spinning R&B.
There are several cafes around such as Starbucks Coffee and Coffee Beans & Tea Leaf
available in the First World Hotel.
