Kampai Restaurant: Address, Hours and What It Actually Costs
Kampai Restaurant sits at E-Gate, Lebuh Tunku Kudin 2, Gelugor, serving Taiwanese cuisine. It opens 12:00pm–2:30pm and 5:30pm–2:00am, and is open daily. That's about 0.4–0.5km — a under 5-minute walk — from The Lighthauz, making it one of the closest sit-down options to the project itself.
The Wider Food Circuit Worth Knowing About
Beyond Kampai Restaurant itself, the same general catchment includes Kampai Restaurant, Super Tanker Taiwanese Stall, First Genting Cafe — a spread across Gelugor, Jelutong and George Town, with prices from RM5.90–10.90 to a full sit-down meal.

What This Actually Means If You're Buying Near The Light Waterfront
On rent: a tenant weighing Gelugor's typical RM1,300–2,500 monthly rent will still ask "what's within walking distance", and Kampai Restaurant at E-Gate, Lebuh Tunku Kudin 2, Gelugor is a concrete, checkable answer rather than a brochure line. On entry price: The Lighthauz is priced at RM864,500–1,173,700 (asking RM788,000–1,118,200), and part of what that price buys is a location where Kampai Restaurant — real address, real hours, open daily — is a normal weeknight option, not a special trip.
Buyer checklist
Good everyday food access is a quiet but real driver of long-term liveability — verify the actual address and hours before assuming it's convenient.

What are Kampai Restaurant's hours and where exactly is it?
Kampai Restaurant is at E-Gate, Lebuh Tunku Kudin 2, Gelugor, open 12:00pm–2:30pm and 5:30pm–2:00am, open daily. Menus and hours change — verify before a special trip.
Does good local food actually affect property value?
It affects liveability and tenant retention more than headline price, but it's one input among several — transport, schools and unit pricing still matter more for resale math.
