QUOTE(muhd syabu. @ Jul 11 2018, 03:28 PM) dont need to look at butter la. just look at how much a liter of milk are priced. rm7 a liter. milk is essential food but in malaysia its very expensive. thats why malaysians are mostly retarded. Ya wei, nowadays UHT milk rm5.50 is offer price. Wtf la, there was a time during offer it's as low as rm3.50 like, just last year, with GST summore. Sohai la nowadays milk so expensive, buying them less n less nowadays. |

Ts sudah enlightened. Good. A lot of brands mislead people on non-butter, which is more unhealthy.
Always check the ingredients before buying. French butter is best, but most expensive. Rm20 a block. But soooo good. |

The word "Butter" is not found on allegedly misleading product - margarine spread.

QUOTE(junbecks @ Jul 11 2018, 07:08 PM) should do a blind taste test. In general, i think malaysian would prefer the one with margarine. Simply because margarine produces the most pseudo butter-ish taste but margarine has the most detrimental effect on health among all the above. And also, it depends on the dish or cake that you cook with, it affects the texture. Margarine leaves a greasy layer when friend or added later on, while butter saturates and render much better than its counterpart adding a "creamier" rather than "greasier" texture.make three cakes, one using butter, one using buttercup (blend of vege oil and milk fat), one using margerine. see which one people will like https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/03...ould-be-deadly/ |

QUOTE(jfleong @ Jul 11 2018, 02:49 PM) Real butter, not margarine or luxury spread or fat spread or buttery Only bodo think sapuan lemak is butterLook 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 Why so expensive ? Butter is expensive cuz it's expensive to make Next u going to complain why airplane so expensive? Dah miskin buat cara miskin Makan roti calit peluh daki je |

QUOTE(hirano @ Jul 11 2018, 09:50 AM) Because milk > lemak sayuran Yup, and tengoklah demand and supply.Deswai real butter mostly RM9 and above for a single block. Is Malaysia a dairy-producing country? A lot of our milks is also imported. In West Europe, butter is relative cheap and almost same price as margarine. In Germany, you can get organic millk 1 llitre for about 1.30 euro. In Malaysia, fresh milk 1 little (i.e. not reconstituted kind) already cost at least RM8+. In Malaysia palm oil melambak and subsidised, so most business use margarine cos it's cheaper. This post has been edited by jonoave: Jul 11 2018, 08:17 PM |

QUOTE(JoLee @ Jul 11 2018, 06:16 PM) In New Zealand the cheapest butter I see on offer is Nz$5 for 500gm. So that is Rm15 for 500gm which is not cheap. In UK, most popular brands, i.e. Lurpak, President, SCS, Anchor, Kerrygold, generally around £1.90/500gm. I normally wait for offers, the price can go down to £1.50/500gm. House brands like Tesco, Sainsbury only about £1.00. |
