SINGAPORE – The Dubai-based company that created the world-famous “Dubai chocolate” – a chocolate bar with pistachio cream and crunchy kataifi filling – has set up shop at Changi Airport with a pop-up store at Terminal 1’s transit area.
The pop-up, which will run for three months until end-January 2026, is Fix Dessert Chocolatier’s first in Asia.
Chocolate lovers can now get their hands on crowd-favourite Can’t Get Knafeh Of It, known commonly as “Dubai chocolate”, at the store daily from 6am to midnight.
In response to a query from The Straits Times, retailer FNA Group said the flavours available at the pop-up are Can’t Get Knafeh Of It in milk and dark chocolate, Pick Up A Pretzel – a bar filled with kataifi and salted caramel pretzel pieces – in milk and dark chocolate, and the speculoos-filled Mind Your Own Biscuit in white chocolate.
The bars retail for $34.90 before goods and services tax (GST), it added. Departing travellers are exempt from paying GST.
FNA Group said it will be absorbing GST for airport staff with valid seasonal airport passes.
The pop-up will be open at the transit area of Changi Airport's Terminal 1 daily from 6am to midnight.

However, those who purchase the chocolates on arrival will have to pay 9 per cent GST on top of the retail price, which adds up to $38.
Fix Dessert Chocolatier was founded in 2021, but the candy became a global phenomenon only after a February 2024 video of TikTok food influencer Maria Vehera eating a bar in her car went viral.
The worldwide frenzy over the dessert sparked remakes, including in Singapore
The company has previously hosted pop-ups in New York and London.
