SYIP (Farrer Park)

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 – 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 😋 I don’t 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 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝘽𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙋𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙖 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙚 (𝙪.𝙥. $22) 🍝 The linguine was served in an amber-brown pool of yuzu miso sauce✨🍋 with 3 thin slices of crispy pork belly beautifully plated atop, garnished with mustard mayo, mustard caviar and crispy sage 🥓🌿. We’re never ones to order pasta at cafes because oftentimes they’re surfeiting and hard to finish but this pasta just had us going at it 𝙣𝙤𝙣-𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥! 🤤 You can’t describe the sauce as sour per say, it’s savory and flavorful with just a slight 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 ☀️ from the yuzu that makes it so palatable🤌🏻We really loved this one and would definitely re-order it. 🫶🏻

Syip is probably one of our 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩-𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 cafes ever. Their Owen branch recently launched a 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧-𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙡𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝 𝙨𝙚𝙩 and we had to go down and check it out!
.
They have 2 options:
🌻 1 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 + 1 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙠 ($22++)
🌻 1 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 + 1 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙠 + 1 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙩 ($27++) (which is so worth? since u can order their famous tiramisu!)
For drinks we got their iced matcha 🍵 and iced dirty matcha ☕️ which tasted okie, but a little diluted 🫠
.
We’ve never had a bad dish at SYIP so far that’s for sure and would definitely recommend it!

We had to try their famous kahlua tiramisu this time round, especially since we didn’t 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 syip’s 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, SYIP’s 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 doesn’t 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.
