Review: Amasoy (Durian) Tauhuay

I guess a new player has joined the block.


Cute logo. :b

I’ve actually heard of Amasoy from Twitter, as some of my friends were introducing the Bukit Panjang branch. But the one I went was at Clementi, I think it’s their new branch? Or I really haven’t been out of the house much…

Anyway, I got a few flavours to try, but first, I want to talk about their special containers.

Their top is attached type. I like this because it is convenient. Open already no need to think of where to place the cover.

Although this is a little… Pointless. This makes the tauhuay look nice, yes, but it makes it harder to scoop “clean”. Then bits of tauhuay will be leftover. I would prefer a smooth side.

This is their durian tauhuay. Apparently it’s the “Flavour of the Month” at Clementi’s outlet. No idea if other branches are serving the same one though.

The smell of Durian is there, but the taste is not very distinct. It is also not very sweet. Depending on the individual, it might be good/bad in your view. But to me, it is quite bland. So taste-wise I think it barely made it. ):

But! The tauhuay is smooth, which is think is a plus point. I’ve still got other flavours to review, so look out for it! :D

They also have toppings which you can add to the tauhuay, but I’m not that adventurous to try it yet. Will try it soon though, to see if the toppings will add flavour or a different texture to the tauhuay we’ve always had. :D

Visit their facebook page [here] to be updated with their offers and promotions! :D

Green is Good!

I received 2 items from The Sample Store this time!
They are:
Ginvera Green Tea Marvel Gel
Ginvera Green Tea Jade Eye Roll Away

These 2 products contain 2 very good ingredients for the skin.

It’s main ingredient, is the Green Tea Extract. It is a natural anti-oxidant (all girls should know how good this is for the skin!), anti-ageing, and anti-bacterial.

They are also enhanced with Soya bean extract. It enhances whitening efficacies, and also helps in moisturizing!

Ginvera Green Tea Marvel Gel

I actually wanted to get this product very long ago, but I am so lazy! What attract me to get this product was actually the fact that it can remove millia seeds.

Due to my eye area being very dry, I bought tons of eye creams/gels that might help. My eye area stopped being as dry as it used to, but millia seeds grew. I can’t squeeze them cos it hurts, so when I saw this product that could help I’m tempted!

So, the correct/usual way people use this product is:
1.Squeeze a small amount and apply onto your dry face and neck.
2.Focus on the T-zone area in particular.
3.Gently massage in circular motions until you can see small flakes appearing
(these are dead skin cells and dirt from your face).
4.Wet your fingers and gently massage again, and wash off with water afterwards.

This method is when I use the product about 3 times a week.

But, for trying to remove the millia seeds around my eyes (I have tons, don’t ask), I will squeeze a small amount on my finger, rub it around the area with the millia seed (target 1 by 1). I usually rub around the area 30+ times. Then I wash it off.

As this product will remove the dead skins on your face, it will make the skin covering the millia seed thinner, thus making it easier to remove them. If you go to a salon to remove, they will use a needle thingy to poke the skin and let the oil out. Trust me, it hurts.

However, this works for me might not work for you. But I’m very happy with the results of this product! It makes my skin feel soft. ^^

Ginvera Green Tea Jade Eye Roll Away

The roll-on of this product is made of Jade, which has cooling properties. It can help to dissolve toxins, nourish skin,
improve circulation, eyesight and energize the brain. Due to the emission of energy, Jade is believed to have unique purification and calming properties as well.

This product is said to be able to do 3 things:
1.Remove dark circles.
2.Reduce puffiness and fine lines.
3.Brighten and firms eye contours.

This product saved my life when I was working in the office! Staring at the computer for a long time will cause your eyes to feel tired easily, and whenever I feel that way, I will use the eye roll.

The effects I felt were that my eyes feel fresher, and not as tired. The reducing of the dark circles are not very evident on me as I sleep irregular hours, but I can tell it isn’t as bad as it was before I used this product.

I can see then my fine lines did get a little lighter, but I don’t think it’ll stay that way too long (though I hope it does). And my dark circles are slightly lighter. :b

All in all, I find the 2 products are very good! Priced at below $20 for each product, I think it’s worth the buy. :D

If you want to try them out, head over to The Sample Store and grab these samples! [Click here]
