I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw dodol at the Central Market in KL. Dodol is a gluey dessert made with coconut milk, jaggery and rice flour very popular in Goa. I always thought it was a Portuguese influenced delicacy which is why hardly anybody outside Goa knows of it. But after googling, I realised its very popular in Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. In KL, I tried the durian-flavoured dodol called "lempuk". I couldn’t eat more than a bite of it. But the local lady told me this was her favourite. I tried the coconut-based dodol which was very similar to the Goan dodol and up to my taste.
