Dodol is a durian toffee which is popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, South India, Sri Lanka, and Burma. Dodol is also called as "lempok" or "lempuk." Dodol in Sarawak is different from dodol in West Malaysia where glutinous rice flour is added to the dodol. In Sarawak, it is 100% durian pulp with or without sugar.
It needs a lot of time and hard work to keep on stirring durian flesh to prevent it from burnt. Dodol is very sweet and firm to touch. It is commonly served during festivals such as Hari Rayi Aidilfitri.
