As the Chinese New Year festival approaches, it's also time to stock up on goodies and snacks for visiting relatives and my family to munch on during the long Chinese New Year break. For those who are worried about the calories consumption. look no further as I am going to introduce in this post a newly launched low calorie snack that you can feast on over the break.
Introducing the new range of peanuts from The Nutkins - a new local snack company founded in 2018 by the same guy behind The Kettle Gourmet, 27 year old Zac Chua! Similar with The Kettle Gourmet, the Peanuts come in locally inspired flavours. The nuts are produced in a factory in Malaysia and even before the official launch of the product on Jan 1, The Nutkins has already earned a tremendous pre-sales, breaking even on day one with over 12,000 bags sold via corporate partnerships with giant companies Redmart, Honestbee, Salt Theaters @ Capital Theater, and the Singapore Petroleum Company, just to name a few.
Currently, Zac is thinking of expanding the business to overseas distributors in Hong Kong, Philippines, Vietnam and to start 5-10 more snack companies within the next five years.
This is the first packet that I've tried and in my mind I was anticipating the taste to be something like prawn paste or the dried shrimp rolls. Although I can't really taste much of the baked prawn but it was really crunchy and additive.
This is my favourite. The peanuts are well seasoned with the black pepper taste and it kept me wanting to pop more in my mouth. Perfect for anyone craving a snack that is out of the ordinary.

Here's the short but inspiring history of The Kettle Gourmet.
In 2017, Zac went to an event and his target then was to give out free popcorn. He made use of the tools that was provided and created an advertisement for this event. However, an online order for the popcorn by a random stranger came through and this was how Zac received his very first sales and it motivated him and made him realized the potential of this initiative. Zac began taking the business seriously, growing The Kettle Gourmet to what it is today with almost 500 bags sold a day. After the success of first product, Zac went ahead and created another product, The Nutkins.

This traditional snacks currently has only two flavours. The peanuts are all freshly baked with no trans fats as they only use 100% pure Canola Oil throughout the baking process. The nuts are also Non-GMO which is free of unnecessary additional processing. The packaging is a seal-able so the peanuts can retain their freshness if you are not able to finish at one go.
BAKED PRAWN FLAVOURED PEANUTS
This is the first packet that I've tried and in my mind I was anticipating the taste to be something like prawn paste or the dried shrimp rolls. Although I can't really taste much of the baked prawn but it was really crunchy and additive.
BLACK PEPPER CRAB FLAVOURED PEANUTS
This is my favourite. The peanuts are well seasoned with the black pepper taste and it kept me wanting to pop more in my mouth. Perfect for anyone craving a snack that is out of the ordinary.
These snacks are not only good for Chinese New Year but also during office tea break time when it's getting too stressed up at work. So try them to see how good they are!
