It took years but the famous Resorts World Las Vegas groceries are finally here. Inspired by the street markets of East and Southeast Asia, but particularly Singapore’s hawker centers, the highly anticipated Food Hall draws a number of Michelin Bib Gourmand and Plate-rated vendors from this corner of the world, as well as additional options from renowned chefs, closer to home . “The concept is all about the food and what we like to call ‘edutainment’,” says Andrew Li, CEO of Zouk Group, the company behind Famous Foods and many other facets of the property, including Ayu Dayclub and Zouk Nightclub. “I love that we not only managed to bring these authentic recipes to the United States for the first time, but also provided guests with the story of each recipe and how it came about. For me, this takes the experience a step further by respecting the art and putting the spotlight on the unsung heroes who come from very humble beginnings and have taken many years to perfect their craft. ”And when you walk through the food hall, you will see what Li means exactly. On the wall next to almost every stand you will find a poster that informs about the people behind the food and what is on offer. And with 17 locations to choose from – plus one more coming soon – it can be overwhelming at first walking your way through the neon-lit space, but to make things a little easier, here’s a full guide to what’s on offer at Famous Foods.

Thian Boon Hua’s first stand was opened in 1979 in Singapore’s Chinatown. His Hainanese chicken rice quickly became famous, garnering both a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a plate. You’ll find the traditional poached version as well as a toasted version of the dish, both served with a trio of ginger onion, sambal, and soy sauce. There is also a pulled chicken curry laksa if you fancy noodles in a spicy broth.

Originally from George Town on the Malaysian island of Penang, chef Ah Guan takes his name from the goggles he wears to protect his eyes while he woks his noodles to perfection. The trademark here is of course Char Kuey Teow, where broad rice noodles are fried with Chinese sausage, prawns, manila clams, crispy pork and eggs. The stand also offers Hokkien Mee, which is made from egg noodles, soy marinated pork, shrimp, yu choy, and oyster sauce.

As one of the few outlets without an Asian flair, the Mozz Bar is the brainchild of local Las Vegas chef James Trees. Here, the finalist of the James Beard Award has presented a quick, laid-back Italian concept that offers sandwiches with homemade bread and soothing little bites. Think of Chicken Parmesan Sammies, Meatball Subs, and Mozzarella Arancini.

Springleaf Prata Place is a family business from Singapore and is known for its Roti Canai. The flaky flatbread is served with a creamy chicken curry or with hot white cheddar and a pinch of cheese on top. The stand also offers nasi lemak, which is made with coconut rice, chicken curry, a fried egg, fried anchovies, peanuts, cucumber, and sambal – mix everything together for the perfect bite.

Ah Chun Shandong dumplings

While the original Ah Chun Shandong Dumpling is located in Hong Kong (which was awarded a Bib Gourmand), the food served here comes from all over China. You will find three types of Pfannenfreund dumplings, hand-drawn Dan-Dan noodles and a cucumber salad with soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. The real winner, however, is the Sheng Jian Bao, which are like fried soup dumplings but with a thicker skin.

If you’re looking for your favorite Asian snacks like hi-chew and wasabi peas, you’ve found them here. But what is hidden behind its walls is even more tempting.

Hidden behind Ms. Meow’s Mamak Stall is an intimate Whisper Pub that serves craft cocktails and small bites with a Pan-Asian twist. You’ll find ingredients like matcha, yuzu, and lemongrass in your beverages, along with a solid selection of sake.

Fuhu hut

This booth is a casual outpost of the resort’s Fuhu restaurant and offers a change from Chinese grilling. While there is a char siu (roast pork) option, duck is the main protein choice here and is served over rice, in a burrito, or, my personal favorite, in a taco shape, which offers a pleasantly surprising balance between sweet and savory courtesies from the mandarin slices.

Dedet de la Fuente, also lovingly called Lechon Diva, has made a name for itself in Manila with its exclusive 12-course menu with a suckling pig highlight. So it’s no wonder that the dish with lechon and truffle rice at their stand is the most popular product at Famous Foods. But if you fancy a sandwich there is also a panini with fried pork.

Blood Bros. BBQ

The brothers Robin and Terry Wong made a name for themselves in Houston with their barbecue restaurant, now you can also try it in Vegas. There are some classic options, like smoked beef brisket and pulled pork, but others have an Asian twist, like gochujang St. Louis ribs and shichimi-togarashi-dusted turkey breast.

James Beard Award-winning chef Marcus Samuelsson writes a love letter to roast chickens at Streetbird. Whether you’re looking for a spicy fried chicken sandwich, hot wings, or chicken and waffles, he’s here for you. There are also plenty of soothing southern-style side dishes to pair with your meal, such as cast-iron cornbread, kale, and grilled black-eyed peas.

Do you want to quench your sushi cravings quickly? Take a seat at the Nori Bar’s counter for sushi, sashimi, and hand rolls, which are wrapped to order to ensure the seaweed stays crispy. To wash it all down, choose from a list of sake, tea, and Japanese beer.

Geylang clay pot of rice

When rice is cooked in a clay pot, the result is a layer of crispy rice at the bottom of the bowl. Awarded a Michelin plate in 2016, Geylang has an umami-wrapped chicken option with salted cod and Chinese sausage, as well as beef in black pepper sauce.

Kuru Kuru Pa Yakitori

Created by renowned DJ and producer Steve Aoki and his restaurateur brother Kevin Aoki, you’ll find a selection of chicken yakitori, including gizzards and hearts, and grilled onigiri (rice balls filled with protein or vegetables). And if you look up at the LED screens above the stand, a mini-anime by the Grammy winner and his team provides a little entertainment.

Ten suns

If you have visited Bangkok, chances are you have visited this Bib Gourmand accredited provider. Ten Suns is all about braised beef noodles, served either dry or in broth. Walk it all out and get yourself a brisket and oxtail combo for the real deal.

Eat sweets

Sweet eats

No meal is complete without dessert, and Sweet Eats offers a variety of sugary options with an Asian twist. There are a plethora of items to choose from, but the shaving ice, available in both Hawaiian and Malaysian styles, is a fan favorite and a perfect way to beat the heat. However, if you’re more into pastries, check out the giant ube macaroons that will delight both your camera and your taste buds.

Middle bar

In the middle of the action you will find a bar with 16 seats with a self-pour beer system, which offers a changing selection of beers from all over the world as well as cocktails and wine on tap. And don’t worry, if you need help trying, there is always someone at the counter to give you advice.

Tiger sugar

Boba fans, rejoice. Tiger Sugar is coming to the Las Vegas Strip and they are bringing their signature brown sugar boba. The Taiwanese chain is opening soon and offers a wide range of tea drinks.

How to order

Whether you want to dine at one of the tables in the Food Hall, have your take away, or have it delivered, Famous Foods offers a seamless experience. There are 32 kiosks dotted around the food hall where you can place your order at most stalls so you don’t have to queue up in every single place when you want to try different places. And when you’re on the property, the resort has partnered with Grubhub to send your bites right where you are – yes, that means even when you’re lounging by the pool.
