My partner wanted to get his daily coffee fix and since we were in the area, we decided to pop by SYIP! Ordered their Iced White ($6) and Iced Matcha Strawberry Latte ($7.50) to go โ paid a total of $14.72 after factoring in GST (9%).
For the size of the drinks, I do think there are better options out there that gives you more bang for the buck. You do however get drinks that are very aesthetically-pleasing. The matcha was unsweetened and it blended well with the milk to give a smooth consistency. It took quite a bit of effort though, to get the matcha thoroughly mixed with the strawberry bits at the bottom. (Imagine vigourous swirling of the cup)
This ranks second for my favourite matcha strawberry lattes ๐ I donโt have any reviews for the Iced White but this is the second time my partner has ordered this from SYIP so I suppose it must be good!
This time we took the chance to try their ๐ฝ๐ง๐ค๐ฌ๐ฃ ๐ฝ๐ช๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ช๐๐ฃ๐ (๐ช.๐ฅ. $22) ๐ The linguine was served in an amber-brown pool of yuzu miso sauceโจ๐ with 3 thin slices of crispy pork belly beautifully plated atop, garnished with mustard mayo, mustard caviar and crispy sage ๐ฅ๐ฟ. Weโre never ones to order pasta at cafes because oftentimes theyโre surfeiting and hard to finish but this pasta just had us going at it ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฃ-๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ฅ! ๐คค You canโt describe the sauce as sour per say, itโs savory and flavorful with just a slight ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ โ๏ธ from the yuzu that makes it so palatable๐ค๐ปWe really loved this one and would definitely re-order it. ๐ซถ๐ป
Syip is probably one of our ๐ข๐ค๐จ๐ฉ-๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ cafes ever. Their Owen branch recently launched a ๐จ๐ช๐ฅ๐๐ง-๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐ ๐ก๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฉ and we had to go down and check it out!
.
They have 2 options:
๐ป 1 ๐ข๐๐๐ฃ + 1 ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ ($22++)
๐ป 1 ๐ข๐๐๐ฃ + 1 ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ + 1 ๐๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ง๐ฉ ($27++) (which is so worth? since u can order their famous tiramisu!)
For drinks we got their iced matcha ๐ต and iced dirty matcha โ๏ธ which tasted okie, but a little diluted ๐ซ
.
Weโve never had a bad dish at SYIP so far thatโs for sure and would definitely recommend it!
We had to try their famous kahlua tiramisu this time round, especially since we didnโt order it previously. They are definitely not playing when it comes to the booze because the rum and coffee flavours hit you super strongly when you take your first bite. The mascarpone was light and we liked that the chocolate taste was cohesive and not overshadowed by the kahlua. While syipโs tiramisu definitely lived up to its reputation, it is quite pricey for a single layer of 3 lady fingers :(
One of their most highly recommended drinks, SYIPโs white coffee combines a double shot of espresso, fresh milk, whipped cream and rich chocolate shavings to create a delicious caffeine boost. The chocolate and cream add a creamy sweetness that doesnโt overpower the coffee!
The matcha latte came in a small cup topped with pretty latte art. The matcha taste was very strong in this and not overly milky, matcha fans would appreciate this better.
