SGFR Bedok Mall Halloween Candy Shop: S$9.90 Skull Licorice

The SGFR Store at Bedok Mall, unit B2-57 at 26 Bedok North Drive, Singapore 465499, opens 10am to 10pm every day and sits on the second basement level of a mall connected to the Bedok MRT station and bus interchange. For a Halloween candy shop in the east, its best fit is BUBS Skull Raspberry Licorice, a bag of skull-shaped Swedish sweets for S$9.90, with Warheads sour cubes at S$6.50 a box.

This is the shop people in Bedok send their teenagers to when they want whatever candy went viral last week. Shelves carry American sour candy, Swedish pick-and-mix brands sold in bags, freeze-dried sweets, Korean dalgona and rolled tortilla chips, all imported. It is not a traditional sweet shop and it does not sell loose candy by weight, but the selection is wide and the prices are printed on the official online shop.

The company's Our Story page explains the unusual origin. The founders started SGFishingRigz in 2020 as a beginner-friendly fishing hub, built a following among Gen Z customers on social media, and opened a physical tackle shop. Around December 2022, according to the same page, demand for fishing gear dropped sharply as borders reopened and Singaporeans travelled again. They pivoted to imported snacks and drinks under a new name, SGFR, which the brand says stands for SG For Real.

The pivot worked. The store list now shows eight shops across Singapore, from Century Square in Tampines to Lot One in Choa Chu Kang, and the brand has added its own freeze-dried line. The Bedok Mall store is among the branches on the official list that open at 10am every day. That makes it the earliest place in the area to pick up party sweets before a school or office Halloween event.

Start with the skull licorice. BUBS is a Swedish confectioner, and its skull-shaped raspberry licorice has a soft chew and a sour-sweet flavour that suits a Halloween bowl better than any generic gummy. At S$9.90 for the bag on the official shop, it is one of the pricier items, so pour it into a dish rather than handing out whole packs. Swedish Chaos Candy, a 110g mix, is the same S$9.90 and adds variety.

For dares and party games, Warheads are the classic. The official shop lists both the Sour Blue Raspberry Cubes and the Sour Berry Mix Cubes boxes at S$6.50 each, and the first ten seconds are genuinely painful. Nerds Rainbow in the 141g box is S$6.50, and the Airheads Sours candy bars come in a box of six for S$6.50, which divides neatly among a small group of trick-or-treaters.

The most Halloween-looking item may be the freeze-dried range. Freeze Dried Gummy Worms, labelled halal and listed at S$6.50, puff up into crunchy, airy worms that look strange enough for a spooky table. The freeze-dried ice cream cubes, such as Galactic Bites Cookies and Cream at S$9.90 for 50g, are more novelty than treat; skip them if you are feeding small children, because the dry texture surprises them.

The official listings mark many products as halal or vegan, which helps when buying for a mixed classroom. Dalgona Candy, the honeycomb sugar disc made famous by Squid Game, is labelled halal and vegan and costs S$4.50 for a 28g piece, making it the cheapest themed treat in the shop. The Sour Madness line, sold in 60g vegan bags including Tropical and Fire flavours, is S$5.50 each.

The online shop sorts its range into gummies, candies, freeze-dried snacks and vegan picks, which is a useful way to plan a list before you go. If your group cannot handle very sour flavours, steer them toward the freeze-dried tropical mixes or the plain Nerds. If you plan to hand candy out to young children, avoid the hard Warheads cubes, which are small enough to be a choking risk for toddlers.

Bedok Mall is directly connected to the bus interchange and the MRT station, so the end of the school day brings students through the basement. Saturday afternoons are the busiest. Weekday mornings between 10am and noon are the calmest, and the 10pm closing gives evening shoppers a long window. If the skull licorice is gone, the brand lists another eastern branch at Century Square in Tampines with 11am to 10pm hours.

Walk out through the transport hub to Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre for a cheap meal before or after your candy run. It is a few minutes on foot from the mall. The surrounding Bedok Town Centre has a covered walkway network, so the walk works even in an afternoon downpour, which is common in late October.

If you have time for green space, take a short bus ride north to Bedok Reservoir Park, where a running loop circles the reservoir and families picnic in the evening. Bring water and keep candy out of the sun; the open path around the reservoir has little shade before 5pm. In the other direction, East Coast Park is a longer bus trip but gives you the sea and a cycling path.
