SINGAPORE — Three years after a bar in Singapore courted controversy over its theme featuring notorious Colombian drug lord and narcoterrorist Pablo Escobar, a new eatery in central Singapore has followed suit with its logo bearing the latter's image and a huge mural of him adorning the dining area.
On the menu of Pablo's Kitchen along Stirling Road in Queenstown are items such as "Sicario's chicken burger", "Kingpin's chicken burger" and "Cartel's beef burger". Sicario is Spanish for hitman or hired killer.
The eatery opened its doors in early April, according to its Facebook page, and serves "affordably priced nasi lemak and burgers".
Escobar, who died in 1993 after a shootout with the Colombian national police, was the head of the Medellin drug cartel. He is widely considered as one of the most violent criminals in history and was responsible for the deaths of thousands.
On Wednesday, a link to an online article featuring the eatery was shared by Tanjong Pagar GRC on its Facebook page. "Queenstown may be a relatively mature estate but there are a number of cafes that have opened up in recent times adding some vibrancy to the estate," the GRC said in its post. "Do check it out if you are around the neighbourhood."
The Facebook post by the GRC has since been taken down.
