Hi SkyJuice:)
Greetings:)
Amazing variety of sweets. Wonderful colorful photos. Gorgeous!
I have tasted dodol when I worked in Goa which was under Portuguese rule. I am not sure it is a Goavan or Portuguese sweet. How come you have dodol in your country? It was not under the Portuguese rule.
Have a nice day:)

Hi Joseph,
Thank you.
I'm not a food expert, so I can't tell if dodol is originally Portuguese. I know it as a traditional Malay sweet snack usually served during 'Eid.
The Portuguese conquered Melaka, one of the Malaysian states, in 1511. They were overthrown by the Dutch in 1641. Perhaps the Portuguese introduced dodol to the local community then, or the other way round. Dodol is also popular in southern Thailand, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, the Philippines and Sri Lanka.
Have a good day. :-)
