We Tried the Cup That Comes With Its Own Appetiser Platter

In Egypt’s ongoing street food Olympics, Agha - purveyor of shawerma, grills, and unapologetic excess - has unveiled its boldest innovation yet: the cup-plate hybrid. At first glance, it appears to be an oversized beverage. Look closer, and you’ll notice something altogether more ambitious: a full mezze spread - sambousek, kobeba, fries - balanced neatly atop your drink, like a levitating appetizer tray with a straw poking through.

The design is half snack, half engineering thesis. You hydrate from below, graze from above, and if all goes well, avoid spilling garlic dip on your shoes. It’s the culinary equivalent of multitasking - designed for the modern eater whose time is too valuable to waste on multiple containers.

Whether it’s brilliant or not depends on how seriously you take your soft drinks. But the execution is strangely elegant. Agha has managed to turn a plastic cup into a kind of edible bento tower, one that challenges both hand-eye coordination and your understanding of portion control.
