Love for peanut butter
Second Helpings
EZRA Nicholas so loved his peanut butter, the sports science graduate would have it any time he could. His wife Tannie Tang, however, always found quality peanut butter scarce and even when she did find them, they'd be too dry and flavourless for her liking.
So the Singaporean couple came to a compromise two years ago: they decided to make their own preservative-free peanut butter. A few sell-out stints at pop-up markets later, they rented a weekend-only retail stall at Pasarbella in February to "overwhelming response" and haven't looked back since, says Ms Tang, 28, who left her job as a civil servant in December to grow the business full-time. Mr Nicholas, 29, has a day job running the operations of a cosmetic retail business.
