Curry Pot - Halal and midnight food option in Las Vegas

Las Vegas can be considered as a city which never sleep. However, there are not many restaurant which open at midnight. I was hungry on one of the night and was walking around The Strip to find the best food option. I found the options that I have are either fast food or Indian food. I tried the Indian food stall in Venetian resort food court. The price were reasonable and if you are Muslim, their food is Halal as well. The downside is probably the waiting time. It takes almost 15 minutes for my meal to be ready.

Taste:8/10(Good. Their vegetable biryani although it was good but its too spicy for me. The curry is fragrant and taste of saffron. This makes me think back of curry that I had in London which taste was so delicious. They put a lot of spices into their curry which makes it tasty. The dish comes with raita which taste great).
Price:6/10(Moderate. Ordered vegetable biryani at USD9.00. Portion were big with plenty of rice).

2-course lunch meal at Trevi @ Caesar Palace, Las Vegas, USA

This place is for you if you like to watch people as it located just beside fountain in The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. Food is average but service is good. Tried this restaurant as I attracted to their 2-course meal set which is rather reasonable for Las Vegas Strip.

Taste:7/10(Moderate. Their signature dish frutti di Mare although with good ingredients but taste rather bland. The Trevi salad is too sourish and chicken parmigiana is good. Pizza is quite normal).

Hong Kong Food Culture @ Lowyat Plaza, Kuala Lumpur

Hong Kong Food Culture located at lower ground floor of Lowyat Plaza serve reasonable priced Hong Kong style food in the city centre. Its tough to find authentic Hong Kong style food in Kuala Lumpur. This restaurant could be closest to what you can get in Hong Kong. The restaurant is quite old. If I not mistaken that they have been operating there for more than 10 years. So don't expect fancy kind of environment in the restaurant. The interior really looks like those char chan teng in those Hong Kong drama.

Taste:8/10(Good. I ordered their dinner set of hor yip fan - lotus leaf glutinous rice with pork and other good condiments. I didn't expect much but the meal turn out to be good. The glutinous rice contains a lot of ingredients such as chinese sausage, dried prawn, scallop, salted egg, lard and mushroom. The dinner set come with a plate of simple but good boiled spinach with fermented bean curd and a cup of herbal tea. Ordered their beef meat noodles which is good as well. Their roasted duck breast rice has a dense meat which is suitable for big eater and meat is tender. Good portion).
Price:6/10(Moderate. Price are quite reasonable especially in Bukit Bintang area with their dinner set cost MYR16.80, rice with roasted duck breast at MYR10.50, sliced beef noodles in soup at MYR10.50 and milk curd with ginger at MYR7.70).
