This is what Miss 7 has been asking everyday for the past few days, morning at breakfast and after school at afternoon tea time, vegemite on toast!
If you’ve ever lived in OZ or ever been to OZ, you would definitely know about this Aussie icon, the vegemite . Along with pumpkin scones, lamington, pavlova, anzac biscuits, minties and tuna mornay (macam dalam buku cerita Possum Magic by Mem Fox tu lah ).
Kiranya macam Melaka terkenal dgn cencalok, Kelantan dengan budu, Penang dengan buah pala (ni masa zaman I kecik2 dululah, kalau sape2 pergi Penang, mesti bawak balik buah tangan buah pala, kalau pergi tempat lain, memang tak boleh jumpa lah buah pala ni! hahahaha).
So, Aussie terkenal dengan vegemite which has been a food staple in every house since 1922. Sikit nya lama vegemite ni bertahan kan!
And since last year, vegemite keluarkan a new product called vegemite cheesybite which is basically vegemite+cheese in it.
But, let me confess here. Walaupun dah bertahun2 I duduk menetap kat bumi Australia ni, tekak I masih tak boleh menerima vegemite nor cheesybite ni. Kat rumah ni, cuma The Other Half and Miss 7 aje yang suka makan vegemite. Miss 11 and I memang tak lalu nak makan. We assumed sebab we all ni bukan Australians, tu yang tak lalu nak makan, hehehe.
(Alah, I yang true blue M’sian ni pun tak boleh telan budu or cencalok or tempoyak, hahaha).
I think you have to be introduced to vegemite at an early age baru boleh tekak tu terima. Walaupun Miss 11 tu membesar kat OZ, tapi I tak pernah bagi dia makan vegemite toast or vegemite scroll masa dia kecik2 dulu, tu yang her tekak memang tak lalu nak terima benda ni, hehehe.
Adik dia pulak ikut tekak The Other Half + tekak I so semua benda tekak dia boleh telan, hikhikhik.
Macam mana rasa vegemite ni, you might ask….
Well, it is salty, not sweet, with a unique undescribable taste. If you put it on your toast, you only put a thin layer of it, not a big dollop macam you letak peanut butter or nutella tu. Kalau you letak a thick layer, even The Other Half pun tak lalu nak telan sebab too salty, hehehe.
And sila tengok gambar kat bawah ni pulak….
The reason why I kena increase my food intake or kurangkan kerajinan I mengemas rumah, hikhikhik….
(Bukan niat nak menunjuk ye. Selalu I tayang The Other Half’s weight, now tunjuk my weight pulak.)
Don’t say anything, I know it is a bit too low for my liking as well. My weight sekarang oscillates between 44.4 to 44.9kg. I am trying to build up my muscles but it is going quite slowly, I only do weights 3 times a wekk aje pun. I tak nak makan over sebab nanti yang increase is the fat. I kena increase my protein intake ni…
Hari tu I tolong The Other Half angkat this heavy almari. He was so amazed to see my well defined triceps and biceps, hehehehehe….

I tak tau about vegemite and tak penah rasa. Tp from the way you describe it, i think maybe it is lebih kurang sama dgn marmite yg ada kat malaysia ni. Just maybe ye.

Unaizah,

LG,
Dulu I mmg excited nak merasa vegemite nih. I ingat kot ada rasa manis2 macam madu ke.
Bila try, adusssssss...memang tak hingin dah. Bayangkan makan roti yg disapu petis....
I kalau takda belacan, tak bermakna hidup, kahkah!
betul la bila orang mai Penang mesti nak cari buah pala :D

LG,
Alahai... tak buleh terima tempoyak ka? Sedih saya sebagai president kelab tempoyak. Haha!

k.min,
eh! u silap tunjuk gambar la.. tu kan gambar i timbang berat i. hahahha.. i was that "heavy" when I was in Ausmat. sekarang ni, i'm so much "LIGHTER".. :D
dunno why, tapi my tekak pun susah nak terima vegemite :D
i baca blog akak ni mmg jadi inspirasi nak diet.. i nak turunkan 5kg. agak2 kalau langsung tak makan nasik/mee/roti for 2-3weeks berkesan tak?
exercise takde la sangat, tapi jalan kaki cepat tu ada la more than 30minutes per day.
LG
Nak menyedapkan hati sendiri, I think weighing scale tu rosaklah, hehehe... *namun I percaya you mmg petite n ringan*
I know Marmite sedari kecik lagi cos my father used to 'minum' that. Tak berapa nak suka baunya.
sisss~~~apsal kurus sgttttt???
jelez nihhh
sila upgrade until 50's
;p
akak LG..wahh,sangat kulus laa u. jeles3 . . hehe
Kak Min,
Kalau berat saya dah sampai ke 44 kg maunya buat pesta makan 3 hari 3 malam..wahahaha...ish..dah below average ke kak Min punya weight tu?Makanlah carbs banyak sikit..supaya balance kan balik...
Si Zahra dah kemaruk makan vegemite ek?I used to eat it with porridge last time..takpun ratah gitu..tapi ya ampun,masin!
MamaQnR,
Belacan I terer makan, hehehe especially sambal belacan makan dgn nasi panas, sayur lemak and ikan kembung goreng.
I pun kalau nak balik M'sia, mesti turunkan berat badan dulu so bila balik dr m'sian holidays, tak nangis bila berat naik 3kg, hahaha
Nanak,
Tu lah kan, sape suruh I rajin sgt2 ni. Kena malas2 balik lah macam ni :-D
Qistina,
I pernah capai berat ni a few times lah lepas dah beranak pinak. Bila tak jaga makan n tak exercise, dia naik balik, hehehe
Fairylilly,
Bila I tengok my daughter n hubby makan vegemite, nampak mcm sedap sgt2. I boleh makan sikit, but cuma 1 suap aje yg boleh telan, hehehe
Dinas,
Hehehe...Kat rumah I ni stock belacan memang sentiasa ada :-D.
Buah pala kat Penang tu kan, I rasa mcm sedap sgt2 masa kecik2 dulu, hehehe
Katak_Ayu,
don't worry, I'm always aware of my BMI. InsyaAllah I takkan jadi anorexic nya :-). My BMI still within normal lagi.
Hani,
Maybe I should try vegemite with rice cakes, manalah tau, my tekak can accpet it after that kan, hehehe.
Aida,
I guess sbb Mak I masa I kecik2 dulu tak pernah masak tempoyak so tu yg I tak makan and tak pernah mencari. But probably kalau you buat masak lemak tempoyak kat I, I akan makan sambil menjilat jari kot :-).
Psst..you nak panggil I Auntie pun boleh, muahaha
Shidah,
Masa I student dulu, I pernah heavier than that. Berat I ni jenis yg turun naik turun naik aje but hopefully it will stay around 45-46kg ajelah sekarang :-).
Alexandriana,
memang akan berkesan kalau tak makan carbs langsung for the next 2-3 weeks, surenya berat you akan turun. But lepas that 2-3 weeks, berat you akan naik balik sbb you start makan carbs balik.
It is much better for you to continue makan carbs but kurangkan the amount. Memang berat akan turun lambat sikit but at least your body will like the new way of eating.
Cik Som,
My hubby pun kata that scale yg rosak sbb bila dia timbang berat dia, tak turun2, hahaha.
petite is a nicer way of saying pendek, hikhikhik...
Yellowie roses,
I nak tambah lah ni, but tak sanggup sampai 50s weh, hehehe.
Nazirah,
Memang sgt kurus, tu yg tgh dlm proses nak naikkan balik sikit :-)
Mira,
It is still within normal BMI range. I ni pendek, tu yg berat sikit mcm tu still ok lagi :-).
You like vegemite too? Susah nak jumpa non Aussies suka menatang ni, hehehe.
Marmite n bovril mmg makan we all kecik2. Mom selalu letak dlm bubur. Tp vegemite, I tak boleh telan. Bau mcm lipas. My girl suka mkn vegemite n my boy tak suka. My hb, mmg favourite dia lah tu.
kakak dah kurus BANYAK!! 44.4 kg tuuuuu... cayalahhh!!
i pun tak boleh blah ngan rasa vegemite ni. Lagi 20 tahun kalau dok sini lagi belum tentu i boleh telan jugak haha..
haaaaaaaa...44.4kg???
berat i sebelum kawin. Skang takde dah nak dapat camtu.
Nora,
I marmite and bovril pun tak boleh telan jugak kot rasanya. Nasib baiklah I can still make her vegemite toast hari2 walaupun I tak lalu. Ibu mithali betul kan kita ni :-).
Story of Carl n Icca,
Itu berat pagi2 baru bangun tidur belum makan apa2 lagi, hehehe.
TTM,
I yang dah duduk kat OZ dah 15 tahun ni pun still tak boleh belah dn vegemite tu. Anak2 you makan vegemite tak? hehehe
