About two weeks ago a new store opened here at the Dubai Mall called "
Candylicious." It is (of course) the World's Largest Candy store, and is quickly becoming my favorite store here! It is located directly across from the Aquarium in the Dubai Mall, and so we've been seeing it under construction since we first arrived and have been anxiously waiting for it to open. When the day finally arrived I have to say I was immediately impressed. It is a giant store and has every kind of candy you could possibly imagine, and aesthetically it is complete eye candy (o
veruse of the word candy completely intentional). It literally looks like the scene out of Willa
Wonka where they are in the 'Candy Land'. There is a giant lolly-pop tree (see below) and an airplane with M&M's flying it. Slightly overpriced, but you can get every kind of candy you could want, including from tiny obscure American chocolate companies (for example we found one that Jared had only seen in Vermont before and is only made in
Brattleboro, VT). So delicious, I could easily get carried away. I will not embrace the materialism in Dubai, I will embrace candy!
Afterall, Halloween is this month...
Lolly Pop Tree and
Emack &
Bolio (yes, like the one in Washington Square in
Brookline) Ice Cream Counter... Also, notice the witty saving on the wall, "Ice Cream: Happiness Condensed." They are all over the walls, with my favorite being, "Don't Fall in Love, Fall in Chocolate." I LOVE it!
The
Candylicious Truck... I'm just waiting for an
Oompa Loompa to jump out.
