Pablo Malaysia to launch in October

The Osaka-founded company is renowned for large size cheese tarts – generally 20cm in diameter, with a soft core. They’re sold in ‘rare’ or ‘medium’ format, which refers to the texture of the cheese filling.

Flavours include apricot jam, matcha and chocolate glazes, with seasonal variants changed monthly.

In March, Pablo Japan introduced mini versions of the cheese tarts measuring 6.5 centimetres with a shortcrust shell, sold in plain, chocolate, strawberry and matcha.

Pablo has already opened outlets in Taiwan and South Korea and is headed for Singapore, also.
