Retrenched SIA Steward Opens Pablo Escobar-Themed Nasi Lemak & Burger Joint

Here's the story behind the controversial branding.

Retrenched SIA Steward Opens Pablo Escobar-Themed Nasi Lemak & Burger Joint

Pablo's Kitchen in Queenstown doesn’t sell Colombian food — never mind that the hipster-fied mug of notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, made famous by the Netflix series Narcos, stares at you from both the entrance and dining area. The reason behind the eatery’s controversial mascot is unexpected, but more on that later. And nope, definitely no shady dealings here — the two-month-old outfit sells an unusual combo of nasi lemak and burgers in a gritty industrial-chic setting, within a shophouse in an old HDB estate.
