Haritu balik kampung di alor star kedah, sebelah mertua, Mak mertua ajak makan di Dusun Rifa di Changlun Kedah.
Nak masuk kedai makan ni, harus la dalam kedai nya dah nama pun dusun kan. Mestilah kedai dia dalam dusun, kedai ni byk tempat makan, ada pondok boleh makan dalam tu, ada pondok yang boleh tidur baring - baring, bawah pondok ni pula boleh makan dia sediakan meja. So, sini jugak boleh mandi sungai.

Authentic Village-Style Breakfast at Dapoq Tok Su Lijah, Changlun
#favouriteitinerary
If you’re in Changlun and craving a hearty, traditional breakfast, Dapoq Tok Su Lijah is a must-visit. This charming eatery brings back the nostalgic kampung vibes with its rustic setting and homely flavors. Their nasi lemak is packed with rich, fragrant sambal, while the char kuey teow is full of smoky wok hei goodness. If you prefer something lighter, their roti bakar (toasted bread) with half-boiled eggs is a simple yet satisfying choice. The food is not just delicious but also affordable. Pair it with a classic kopi kampung for the perfect start to your day. Definitely a breakfast spot worth checking out!

Explore Dusun Riffaa for an Exciting Off-Road Adventure Near UUM
Dusun Riffaa is an exciting destination just 15 minutes from Changlun by car. Follow the navigation to the sign shown in the third picture, and you'll find plenty of parking spaces. Upon arrival, you can enjoy a meal at the on-site Thai restaurant, which is located in a durian orchard. You might even see durians falling from the trees!
The durians here are affordable and taste great. The car rental is right at the entrance, offering three different routes (as shown in picture 5), each with varying durations. Initially, we planned for a three-hour adventure, but the staff informed us that the three-hour route is only available starting at around 8 AM. If you want to see the waterfall, make sure to arrive early. We opted for the second route, which takes about an hour and a half and allows two people per vehicle. A lead car guides the entire journey, and you can stop anytime to take photos. The scenery along the way is beautiful, with streams, forests, and mini waterfalls, and the air is incredibly fresh.
The route is not very dangerous, and although some mountain paths are challenging, the guide will assist you if needed. So, beginners need not worry. Friends, why not relax this weekend?
Address: CFFF+G5, 06010 Changlun, Kedah, or search for Dusun Riffaa on the map.

Suitable place to chill out in the environment while eating...there's a small river here where you can swim.
Free entrance and parking...thanks to the owner of the place.
Nice traditional building set up and nature view. However the food services can be improved. It is too slow in a peak time. If u want a quiet peaceful moment avoid came on a school and public holiday. At this time you will be submerged in a pool of peoples and wonder why in the first place u decide to came here.#couplestrip #awesomepic #deliciousfood #foodie #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer
