Hylin is a suburban cafe situated on the corner of Rail Way Parade and Abbotsford Street in West Leederville. Hylin caught my attention with its unconventional take on the daily breakfast, all of it documented on TakeMeToFoodieHeaven's blog. In my week off, I visited Hylin and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their offerings.
Obligatory drinks to start was a pot of green tea for myself and for my sister, a skinny latte. Whilst the latte was good, the same cannot be said for the green tea. It tasted weird as. Neither was it grassy, or sweet, just painfully bitter for some odd reason!
But that did not dampen my spirits because once I saw my breakfast of chorizo, asparagus and creamed corn ($16.50) hit the table, I was sold.
Despite looking a little withered, the asparagus were cooked well with the fibrous layers removed and it was cooked to the middle just right. The salty and moderately spicy chorizo paired with the creamed corn sensationally. Putting a bit of everything in your mouth, you get that bitey chorizo giving you a salty-spiced hit that is complemented by the super smooth sweetcorn puree! It was yums!
My sister’s choice of breakfasts was the field mushrooms on thick cut bacon served with guacamole and crumbled ricotta on toast ($16.50). Another yummy meal that was high in protein and low on carbs. Its as thought we were doing some sort of paleo morning diet that morning haha.
The smoky bacon felt as though it were thinner slices of salted minute steak cooked on a grill. Add cuts of it to the juicy mushrooms and slightly tangy ricotta, damn it was a joy to eat. The bacon by itself though, is a little salty as one would expect.
Hylin is a good breakfast spot close not far from where I leave and it did not disappoint me in anyway(besides that terrible pot of tea of course!). The venue is airy so the ever present morning crowd was not a bother thanks to it large open windows. Add that Hylin's decent prices and you will find yourself very satisfied with a trip here. However, the bread serve of one which bucks the trend of the usual two slices might leave some walking away hungry. But as I was only keen for the good stuff rather than stacking up on the boring bread, it was just right!
