Malaysians love their food, and we are truly proud when our local flavours make their way overseas. From flying roti canai in Japan to kopitiam cafés in the United States, our cuisine continues to travel the world.
Now, Ais Kacang has found its place in Sweden.

A Malaysian living in Stockholm recently shared a video of a man selling Ais Kacang from a bike. The cart carried a signboard clearly marked “Ais Kacang” and featured a traditional dark green and red ice shaver, along with rows of containers filled with colourful toppings.
According to netizen @wawandering, the stall operates mainly in summer, with the vendor offering a vegan-friendly menu. Customers can enjoy red beans, corn, jelly, rose syrup, and a choice of condensed milk or coconut milk poured over shaved ice.
The video also revealed that the ice-shaving machine was brought directly from Malaysia, making the experience feel even more authentic.
“He’s selling it for 60 SEK, about RM28, and you can usually find him at tourist spots like Gamla Stan and Slussen,” the netizen explained.
Many viewers were thrilled to see the Malaysian dessert gaining attention in Sweden. One commented, “It needs palm sugar and condensed milk to complete it.” Another wrote, “Swedish bro fell in love with Malaysia so hard, he started selling Ais Kacang in Sweden.”
For Malaysians abroad, stumbling upon familiar flavours is a sweet reminder of home. As one user said, “So yummy! I miss home a lot less with this. If you spot this Ais Kacang bike stall in Sweden, give it a try!”
