Huge platters of dishes to cater to large tour groups. Try to avoid the breakfast crowd if you can! Love the varieties of food, from local to Western cuisines, Asian, Malay and more. Prices are reasonable by Genting standards.

Floor 3 · SkyAvenue
The Food Factory was a large-scale buffet restaurant occupying 23,568 square feet on Level 4 of First World Hotel, capable of seating 1,300 diners at once. Famous for its open-concept kitchen featuring industrial-scale machines, including a Taiwanese egg-frying device that churned out 20 fried eggs per minute, the restaurant lived up to its name by producing food in remarkable quantities. Its breakfast buffet was particularly popular among hotel guests, offering West Asian, East Asian and Western counters alongside pastries and breads at an accessible price point.
The restaurant was a reliable option for families and large groups who needed a quick, no-fuss meal before heading out to the theme parks. The sheer scale of the operation meant there was always something for everyone, from congee and dim sum to pancakes and sausages, all produced with an efficiency that matched the resort's busy rhythm.
However, The Food Factory has since permanently closed, with The Coffee Terrace at Genting Grand Hotel now serving as the primary buffet breakfast alternative at the resort. While The Food Factory is no longer operating, its legacy as Genting's go-to breakfast factory lives on in the memories of countless visitors who started their highland mornings there.

Food is good. Love their sambal nasi lemak. But quite far to walk from SkyWorld Hotel. Might get hungry again after meal to go back to the room. I saw a review said the place looks like canteen. I verified!

It's located at the First World Hotel. It's cheaper if you booked the day beforehand. The food is quite tasteless but with the pricing, I can't complain. There's a wide variety of food to choose from, ranging from Western to Asian. Beverage.
