The Awesome 3: November 2014

Newly opened on 11 Nov 2014, Salty Peanuts has established itself in the Eastern part of Singapore. Just 10 minutes walk from Tanah Merah mrt, it's located at East Village with Sarah's Pancake and Kookie Krumbs. Opened by Naddy and her group of friends, this new cafe mainly sells homemade gelato with coffee and waffles to go along. In the midst of branding itself as a muslim- friendly cafe, they are working towards getting halal- certified to cater more to the Muslim community out there.

Interestingly, the cafe is decorated with interesting decorations such as super heroes portraits and film cameras. Upon asking Naddy about it, she revealed that she and her group of friends are into photography and videography, that's why it's decorated in a cinematic format.

Clocks without the usual numbers

Ice cream flavours vary from fruit sorbets to their famous salty peanut (where they got their name from) and also other local flavours such as banana rama and bandung flavours.

Tried their waffle with a single scoop of their famous salty peanut which tasted like peanut butter and more creamy. The waffle was mediocre and not the type I favoured, so skip it if you are there.

I sort of prefer their local flavours so decided to give Bandung a try. Tasted good and rich and I would be back to try other flavours if I walked by.

Having the honour to be invited by The HungryGoWhere team to Four Seasons Singapore to try our their all new Mezze Dinner Buffet Spread at One ninety restaurant. At a price of SGD 58, one will get to enjoy a buffet spread of appetisers and desserts with one main dish.

My favourite appetiser at the buffet table definitely has to be the Lobster with Thai Chilli Sauce. It is well infused with our local version of chilli sauce which is the Thai version with a tangy and sweet taste to it and not overpowering to the extent of making one tears.

Other appetisers include poultry dishes such as chicken too!

The highlight of the buffet is definitely the grilled food which is inclusive of a main dish at the buffet price tag paid. Main dishes consist of a widespread of selection that varies from meat to seafood that are freshly air flown from abroad. So be assured of the quality of the food served here. The Rangers Valley Wagyu uses 400-day grain-fed Australian rump 200g and the chef will personally cooked it to your desired level.

Top up SGD 38 to the existing SGD58 buffet price tag that you are paying to get the Baby Lamb Chop that is imported from New Zealand. This lamb chop is tender and flavourful and you will definitely not go wrong with it.

For people who fancy seafood, you can choose the Wild 'Mooloolaba' Ocean King Prawns and char-grilled calamari that is drizzled with chilli oil. The seafood is succulent and tender and definitely not rubbery when over cooked. Yet, it retains the freshness of the seawater.

If you are up for something like fish, go ahead with the Red Label Organic Salmon 'Tranche' which is air flown from Scotland at SGD10 more. Be warned, the portion is really huge!

Oh did I miss out on the desserts portion? Not to worry, the desserts are also served on the buffet table and you will be greeted by an array of it when you are ready to make your choice. Do not miss out on their signature dessert: Yuzu chocolate tart sprinkled with gold ganaches that is not only visually appealing but also worth any amount of calories.

My 2nd favourite dessert has to be the Strawberry Yuzu Cake. anything Yuzu is just too delicious.The cream is light and you will not feel 'jelat' after eating it, especially when you can have unlimited number of it!
