MELAKA: Jonker Walk night market paid tribute to the late Dr Tan Kim Hock who is popularly known as Melaka’s “Dodol King”.
Jonker Walk management committee deputy chairman Datuk Gan Tian Loo said Tan was synonymous with Jonker Walk as his products were sold at an outlet in the area.
“We have lost a legendary entrepreneur who is a pioneer in debuting local Melaka delicacies to a global platform.
“Tan has inspired many locals as he made dodol a global brand, ” said Gan.
Tan died yesterday at the age of 96. He started peddling dodol and coconut-based delicacies around the historic city in the 1970s while wearing his signature white suit.
