Budget
Penang Food Village
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.
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.

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.
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.
The Olive
Genting's signature award-winning restaurant, located in the hotel lobby, attractively done in a very modern style. Very expensive, but if you're going to splurge, you might as well go whole hog and try the Wagyu steak, flown in directly from Japan.
