Our story
Top rated, authentic dodol in town
At Alan's Crust Dodol we blend tradition and passion into every piece. Born from a recipe dating back to 1944, our dodol is crafted with the same dedication that has been passed through generations — history in every bite, and it tastes as fresh as ever.
1944
The recipe
A treasured recipe, perfected
Our story begins with Mrs. Alan Edirisuriya, who perfected a treasured dodol recipe that has been carefully passed down through three generations.
Our origins trace back to Hambantota — a region renowned for its heritage of Kalu Dodol. It is from this cultural heartland that our flavour and identity were shaped.
2023
The brand
Alan's Crust Dodol is born
In 2023 we took a leap — establishing Alan's Crust Dodol and bringing this beloved treat to a new audience, while honouring the authentic methods and ingredients that make it unforgettable.
We are proud to create dodol that resonates with history, but tastes as fresh as ever.
