Why Jollibee’s Pistachio Kunafa Sundae Matters to Investors
Jollibee Pistachio Kunafa Sundae
Photo caption: Jollibee’s Pistachio Kunafa Sundae, first developed for the UAE and now also available in Saudi Arabia, the UK, Italy and other international markets, demonstrates how the brand translates local food trends into accessible QSR products that can travel across markets.
Jollibee’s Pistachio Kunafa Sundae started as a local response to a fast-growing food trend in the UAE. It has since become a useful example of how localized product innovation can help Jollibee build relevance across its broader international business, which spans 16 countries.
The product was developed to make the Dubai Chocolate and pistachio kunafa trend — widely described as one of the most viral dessert trends of the decade — more accessible through a familiar Jollibee platform. By translating a premium, culturally relevant flavor into an everyday QSR dessert, Jollibee showed its ability to spot a major consumer trend early, move quickly, and turn it into a product that could drive trial, strengthen menu excitement and bring new energy to the sundae category.

From Hometown Kitchens to City Tables
Regional Filipino flavors find a home across the metro.
The Philippines has always been best explored through its food. The tang of a comforting broth can call Iloilo to mind, coconut and lemongrass can recall the flavors of Capiz, and a richly seasoned dish can lead the imagination to Pampanga.
Across the metro, these restaurants make it possible to travel through the country one table at a time:
Abé
At Abé, Kapampangan cooking comes through in generous, deeply familiar flavors. Biringhe brings sticky turmeric rice cooked in coconut milk, while Sinuteng Baby Squid and Abé’s Farm Sisig add smoky, savory character to the table. For dessert, Sikreto ni Maria Clara layers suman with macapuno, ripe mangoes, and vanilla ice cream. Upper Ground Floor, The Shoppes at Park McKinley West.
