Marmite – it has such a pungent smell that brings tears to my eyes. Miss my kampung so much. I eat Marmite with kaya toast- best served piping hot. Also Marmite on porridge, soup and sauce. Good for me when I skip lunch or breakfast. A fast soup snack.
Bovril – now this black magic is good for soups – either to add aroma or to “thicken” it. Bovril is used in sauces, bread spreads, and goes well when I am tired or sick of oily food.
Vegemite – this black gold is used sparingly on toast, sauces and salad dressing. I used this sparingly because it has a pungent smell and quite strong. I cannot live without Vegemite because it is brightens up my dour morning..
For all of you who are dislike any of these mites or bovrils, kesian lah – my sympathy to you. You do not know what you are missing…

hmmm i remembered reading from somewhere adutls who does not like Marmite was that because they were not introduced to it when they were a kid, those who was given marmite in their early years will tend to like even when they grow up, well we cant say the same to adults who has never tasted it in their early days …

Well my whole family likes it alot, there will always be this big jar behind the cupboard somewhere, mix it with hot-water and voila – u get a great simple soup … thats when my mom is lazy or has no time, but you know la, when we were kids, you will always need some soup on the table rite … I just like to stir them into porridge – preferbably plain congee … or hot steaming rice, it great! Or put them onto toast, but try to spread them as thin as posible …

And by the way i though Bovrill was made of beef stock rite … Marmite – vege, Bovril – beef

Thats what my mom told me way way back then …

[...] I cooked the Marmite Sauce the other day. However, my toddler who is almost three years old sniffed and asked loudly, “Ewwwwss..mommy, cook what so (s)melly?” He smelt it from the living room! [...]
