Tan Kim Hock since 1957

It all began with a humble coconut tree. Rooted in Melaka, made of stories.

Young Tan Kim Hock took on many trades to make ends meet, until
the coconut tree changed his course. From coconut nectar to gula
melaka and kuih kacau, his craft spread by word of mouth, earning
him the name “The Dodolman in Melaka”.

Little did he know, he was making more than a living—he was making
a name in Melaka.
