Which of the following is a traditional Asian sweet?

Lokum is not only asian food. And it is not real "asian" food It's mage only in the muddle east. Many countries on the Balkans make it and eat it, like Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia ets.

I assume “ Applets & Cotlets “ are similar and closest we have commercially in U. S.

Is it not from the middle east rather than Asia? I mean for Turkey
