Stock up on Silver
Yesterday night I went to the bakala (local word for very tiny mini markets) under my building to get KDD Silver icecream. To my surprise the guy didn’t have any left, just the Gold one. So I went to the second bakala near by and he also didn’t have Silver. Luckily there are like 20 bakalas in a 5 meter radius behind my building (I love Salmiya) so I went bakala jumping trying to find one that still had Silver left. Luckily I found a box full at the 4th bakala and decided to buy it all and take home. Don’t know if this is a problem around Kuwait or just in my street but maybe the country is running out of Silver??
update: just went and got myself a Raspberry Lolly

I got some today on the way home from school, the guy told me the heat is kicking in, he’s only using the small porthole in his icebox to take stuff out, they’re also selling more and more.
i thought the gold is more famous and taste much better than silver!
i dont know, i find the gold pretty boring.
yum. Silver! We don’t have anything like that here in Lebanon >.
hmmm yabeela silver
going down to get some from the bakala under my office. there are like 6 bakalas in the building across my office. how do these places make money with so much competition?
I always find it!
I think it is a conspiracy
Silver’s my fave. No problem in my neighborhood.
No problem in my ‘hood either :P
the uae is running out bakkalas. going extinct.
good to hear kuwait still has them
where do you get jeans with elasticated waists in Kuwait, Mark? ;-)
now I have gone and got myself some ice cream, ALL YOUR FAULT!
I went into the bakala to get some stuff and cud not resist getting a silver cone as well.
Besides i really like your blog (the down side is all the talk about food makes me hungry) ;)
It tastes so good! I like everything except the Purple thing which has a chocolate and vinialla thing!
It’s sooo something i would do lol it’s about 8 degrees here and i’m stocking limited edition winter icecream the guy at our baqala thinks i’m mad ;p
KDD sux!! Baskin robin rocks!!
First of all: there’s still bakalas in Salmiyah?
Second: yes I had the same problem in April. They neve had Silver at the little Jabriyah Coop (shitheap) they have in block 12. And since they closed down all the bakalas, there was nowhere else to go look for them.
The big Jabriyah coop is just too crowded and dirty and rundown than to actually go there.
our co op is running out of gold it seems bc i was looking for it and keep running into the shitty fake GOLDEN one from another company. IMO gold is only about 10000x better than silver.
the reason for the silver’s disappearnce in salmiya bakalas is because mark keeps buying boxes of this shit.
THAHAB (GOLD) RULES
u know they both have cancerous additives to them right? just like about every other product in this world ;P
havnt had neith gold nor silver in over 3 yrs or more
i feeel ur pain .. am fedha’s addict too :P
And I thought the country was running out of lollies. Obviously I’ve been going to the wrong bakala. Hmm…
