Buffalo meat not so tasty as compare to cow/beef.....

buffalo meat is more hard to chew ..... in malay is "lebih liat" .... simply different texture of meat....

Normally tasty food will be more expensive compare to less tasty food.....

Similar to "fish world" u can also see the relativity.... comparing Tillapia and Marble Goby......

Buffalo usually imported, so usually much cheaper. It's usually more blocky and less fat too.

When I was in Langkawi long time ago, kenduri usually use buffalo meat as buffalo more easier to get that beef.

Tried water buffalo steak before in Cambodia. Tough like rubber. Best for fried rice.

a lot of meat from India are buffalo meat.

Comparing Kancil to BMW

So the price different. Simple ya?

Indian Beef = buffalo ... so many of the cheap 'daging' you eat out there which taste horrible are buffalo lo

there is beef and there is beef

Kobe Beef is also beef.

Those Jap Beef are Lembugini level ....

supply vs demand.

we have more supply of buffalo beef than cow beef.

we imported buffalo beef from india.
for cow beef, mostly we use suppliers in malaysia & australia.

taste almost the same if u cook it with other ingredients but if u try to cook/grill buffalo beef itself, u can feel the chewiness and the difference when u use a cow beef.

my opinion buffalo meat are tough when chewed .. and most restaurants and hawker places uses this meat in their dishes. better profit and need not charge too high ..

Buffalo meat is cheaper than cow meat.

But Buffalo milk is higher priced than cow meat. It's used make Mozzarella

not really la.. u go kk menggatal got 1 sang nyuk pau beef noodle. they use kerbau aka buffalo meat. taste much richer and the meat also not liat. liat or not is see how u cook and how u cut.

They eat beef?

170 millions of Indian do eat Buffalo meat. Not cow meat. Big difference. Eating cow meat can get you killed.

Malay wedding usually got beef menu...
however, some who bought beef in box (frozen daging kotak) actually buffalo meat.

Many did not notice this, just eat and they said taste no different.

why wagyu beef cost more than grass fed? why tenderloin is more expensive than shank?

why bmw cost more than proton? why v6 is more expensive than 3 pots?

buffalo meats are actually good for dishes that are cook for very long time.

rendang, kari, sup,

those long hours will make it tender and not shredding them.

very good for kenduri

Buffalo meat slightly liat/chewy but it is good for dishes that need to cook for long time such as rendang.

Once cooked, hardly make any difference between buffalo and beef.

Lots of import for buffalo meat hence cheaper compared to beef.

Honestly buffalo meat low class food.

you're talking like china apple vs fuji apple la.

Then what's the different between mutton and lamb meat? taste wise same as mutton

really?


i only tried satay kambing. dunno lamb or mutton.

too expensive for me to buy.

There's different in taste with lamb and goat meat

more chewy

taste wise its the same, maybe the smell abit different

Agree.

Here is what I found on the internet: Buffalo is a type of bovid, but their meat is different from beef in many respects. Buffalo meat has a lower fat content, and its fat is milky white, compared to the yellow-white fat of beef. Buffalo meat is darker in color, and buffaloes, because of their larger size, have harder bones than cows. But from my personal experience, I can tell that buffalo is lighter meat and tastier. You can cook it the same as a chicken because the amount of fat is very similar. I cook chicken on apple woods for the best taste. There are a few best woods for smoking chicken, but Apple is my favorite.

same like yellow skin jiken vs normal jiken why price so much different.
