Real butter, not margarine or luxury spread or fat spread or buttery
Look at how sneaky they are. I don't think many Malaysians realise this but the "butter" you buy is not actually butter. They don't even describe it as butter and use terms like "lemak sapuan campus sebatian" or something like that. When you look at the ingredients list, the first item is actually palm oil. Many don't show the percentages, one that did says that only 10% is "milk fat" i.e. real butter

The ones that actually describe it as butter and have the ingredient list butter (and maybe salt) but nothing else, is like 12.50 a block of 250g

I think you meant SCS right?

i usually buy my butter non-salted, coz salt can always be added if needed but cant be removed when blended.



But yes, i do notice in malaysia, most dairy products are rather expensive, this includes heavy cream, cheeses etc.

Albeit specialty cheese prices are starting to go down as of late, but butter seems to be heading towards upward trends.


Personally, as a heavy butter user, i usually go for large blocks from specialty supplier, it is easier on the cost on long run. I simply order extra for myself whenever i place order for my restaurants. Vegetable fat can never replace dairy based in both flavor and usage. Period.

To get them cheap, you need to butter up the seller.
