TeaAmo | Malaysia 1st Taufa Brown Sugar Bubble Tea

by Jia Shin Lee - June 23, 2019

The bubble tea craze in Malaysia isn't stopping and it is growing rapidly. Recently I found a new spot that serves a really unique topping and that's a real game changer for me, TeaAmo is the 1st in Malaysia that came up with Taufa Brown Sugar Bubble Tea!

TeaAmo is located in the Bubble Tea Street in SS15, Subang Jaya, what makes this tea shop special from the others is their signature drinks such as the Taufa Brown Sugar Series, Mango Boba Series, and Snow Cream Series and you get to customize the sugar level, amount of ice or toppings to your liking.

This tea shop is not just a takeaway kiosk but it's a cafe with a comfortable sit-down area where you can slowly enjoy your drinks and have a conversation with your friend. To be honest, a cup of bubble tea can cost as much as a cup of Starbucks and most outlets are so busy and packed there's no place to chill so I really appreciate it that TeaAmo has an area for their customers to chill and enjoy.

What's a bubble tea shop without Boba right?

TeaAmo handcrafted Boba are freshly-prepared each day using the best quality halal ingredients like tapioca and palm sugar, the boba's are slightly sweet and really satisfying to bite because of the chewy texture that's just right it's not too hard or soft.

Here are some of the interesting drinks I manage to try with my friends during my visit

Classic Taufa Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea RM7.90(M) RM8.90(L) & Rose Milk Taufa Brown Sugar Pearl RM10.90 is a great choice for those who love milky drinks, the taufa toppings makes the drink really interesting, I've actually fallen in love with it, you slurp down the taufa and at the same time you'll manage to have some chewy bubbles to chew on.

For those who prefer fruit based drink, give Mango Passion Milk with Mango Boba RM10.90 & Strawberry Milk Mango Boba RM10.90 a try, the Mango Passion is sweet and sour which makes it really refreshing and the Strawberry Milk is sweet and fruity.

For those who love tea more than anything try out the Earl Grey Snowcream Tea it is the perfect combination of icy smooth milk tea with a heavenly Soft Serve Ice Cream, don't forget to mix it up before drinking it for the perfect drink.

To keep the customers coming back for more, TeaAmo also has delicious creamy Chocolate Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream & Earl Grey Soft Serve Ice Cream and it's topped with chewy pearls on top of it!!! I highly recommend these for those ice cream lovers like me.

So what's your favorite? Mine is the sweet and sour Mango Passion Milk with Mango Boba which is really unique and refreshing at the same time. So which one would you try? Let me know in the comments below :)

Enjoy your teatime with T-Sticks of London

by Jia Shin Lee - January 25, 2019

There’s always time for tea, right?

I've always preferred tea over coffee because I live with anxiety and it is important for me to limit coffee intake as it stimulates us while tea does not increase or aggravate anxiety or stress. Anyway, my addiction for tea started not too long ago but having a cup has a soothing effect on me especially before bed, it really makes me feel better.

Anyway, I have good news for tea drinkers! A new, innovative and convenient tea sticks are now available in Malaysia, it a product from London and directly imported from UK. T-Sticks allows you to drink your cup of tea comfortably at anywhere any time of the day with “NO Mess, NO Drips, NO Spoon” they are really easy to use, simply stick them in your cup of hot water, and wait for your tea to brew. It also conveniently double up as stirrers so you won’t have to use a spoon.

The tea leaves are said to be gathered from tea plantations around the world, T-Sticks has 10 flavors to choose from - Breakfast Brew, The Earl’s Favourite, Zen Green & Lemon, Moroccan Minty Green, Zesty Lemon, Fruity Forest, Striking Strawberry, Perfectly Peach, Tangy Orange, and Rockin' Rooibos.

It’s hard to choose what is the best but my favorite will be Zesty Lemon & Tangy Orange because it's so refreshing especially in the morning and Rocking Rooibos is the perfect flavor to chose from before bed because it helps to calm me down and have a restful sleep at night. The flavor of the tea was full-bodied and delicious, you could taste the lingering depth and fragrance the moment you take that first sip.

Each box of T-Sticks includes 15 sachets at RM35 and now they are having a launching promotion at RM29 only. T-Sticks is super convenient to carry with you, it's literally weighs nothing at all and it won't take up any space plus it'll bring a touch of elegance and poshness to even the laziest afternoon tea sessions at home, just curl on a sofa with a cup of tea to commence relaxation time.

Fiber it up with Calpis Fiber

by Jia Shin Lee - January 27, 2018

YAY!! What an exciting day!! I'm just so happy to be invited to this event because I can't wait to see it in-person. For the first time ever, iconic Malaysian celebrities and Calpis ambassadors such as Harith Iskander (Laugh Factory Funniest Person in The World 2016), Zizan Razak (actor and comedian) and Siti Nordiana (singer) will be lifted in mid-air with helium balloons at eCurve Mutiara Damansara, making it the first ever cultured milk brand to host such an extraordinary campaign.

Calpis, Japan’s first cultured milk drink continued to excite its fans and consumers. Today, the brand pulled another unprecedented fun-filled campaign that aimed to advocate a healthier lifestyle through maintaining a good and healthy digestive system.

As part of the extraordinary feat and in an effort to spread more goodness to Malaysians, Calpis invited members of the public to be part of the uplifting experience via a social media contest. All Malaysians needed to do was to guess the number of helium balloons that it took to lift the ambassadors by watching the actual event via livestream on Facebook Live. A total of RM15,000 cash prizes were rewarded to 150 individuals by the end of the Facebook livestream!

Many Malaysians tuned in to watch the actual lifting that showcased how ‘light’ one feels upon consuming Calpis Fibre range – a key point as Calpis Fibre promotes gut-health combined with a dose of deliciousness.

Furthermore, the brand recently launched an additional one-month social media contest. Dubbed the Calpis Fibre-up Challenge, the contest spanned across both Calpis Facebook and Instagram platforms. Fans were challenged to share the goodness of Calpis Fibre with less sugar and show how ‘light’ they feel when they consume Calpis Fibre through stimulating or creative physical stunts captured in a photo. Not only did it present them with the chance to express their creativity, but they also multiplied ‘the goodness within’ Calpis by sharing the joy with their peers. The contest received a tremendous amount of creative and imaginative entries on both social media platforms. All-in-all 20 winners were selected as they presented the most fantastic gravity-defying imagery that best represented the Calpis Fibre key attributes.

Cultured milk drink is made from milk fermented with lactobacilli and are generally bifidogenic. It is high in nutrients and probiotics (live bacteria and yeasts) that can help to restore the balance of good and friendly bacteria in the gut – which is incredibly beneficial for digestion and gut health. Essentially, it improves pH level within the intestinal area and helps grow good bacteria which then aids you in the digestion of food and assimilation of nutrients.

Furthermore, Calpis Fibre contains polydextrose, which is a form of dietary fibre that helps increase intestinal bifidobacteria and helps maintain a good intestinal microflora. Polydextrose is well tolerated amongst patients with irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”) too, and has been known to alleviate IBS and constipation symptoms as well. Now we know the one way to manage our intestinal and digestive health that’s actually simple to do!
