With the scent of sizzling sisig and the vibrant colors of flavoured halo-halo, AffordaCup has officially opened its fourth Dubai outlet—this time at Al Ghurair Centre’s buzzing Flayva food hall. The homegrown Filipino food brand, beloved for its affordable prices and homey dishes, continues to honor the rich culinary legacy of Pampanga, a province in the Philippines known as the country’s culinary capital. At its newest location, diners are in for a full Filipino feast. The menu, rooted in traditional Kapampangan cooking, features well-loved dishes like palabok, kare-kare, beef pares, and sisig. Sweet lovers won’t be left out, either—the leche flan and halo-halo lineup (especially the mango-flavoured one) are already crowd favorites. “This is a celebration of Filipino comfort food in Dubai,” a diner told Expat Media during a visit to the outlet. AffordaCup has quickly gained popularity in the UAE’s Filipino community since opening its first Dubai outlet, with customers praising its no-frills approach to hearty Filipino meals. Its expansion to Al Ghurair Centre signals growing demand for homegrown Pinoy flavours, especially in multicultural hubs like Dubai. The new Flayva location is already drawing curious foodies and expats alike, many of whom are seeking a nostalgic taste of home—served with a side of halo-halo. ICA/Expat Media
