On the weekend there was a big happening here in Abu Dhabi, at least if you were a Swedish person - the opening of the Swedish Candy shop in Yas Mall.
A whole shop full of Swedish pick-n-mix!!
It is run by a Swedish couple, in a collaboration with the Swedish chain 'Hemmakväll'. It felt almost exactly the same, with hundreds of different kinds of Swedish candy. Not just pick-n-mix but also Marabou chocolates, Estrella snacks, flavoured sparkling Loka water and other kind of goodies.
Obviously, the price is not the same as in Sweden... Usually you would pay anywhere from 6,98 SEK (yes, at EKO) to around 14,90 SEK per 100 gram at the usual supermarkets; that is the equivalent of 2,30 AED to 5 AED.
Here, the price is 20 AED (60 SEK) for 100 gram... wowsa!

I still had to pick myself a small bag though, of course! A very small bag, just two of each of my absolute favourites. You have to support small businesses!
So no, I will not come every week for my lördagsgodis (=Saturday candy), but it's good to be able to on the days when the Swedish candy cravings become too big!
