Where'd you get that brand of passion fruit syrup by the way? That was the first "real" PFS I ever got my hands on, during a trip to China Town.

I got it at the 99 Ranch Market, which is thankfully only a couple of blocks from my house. I've checked at least a dozen other Asian grocers in my area and none of them carry it so I feel your pain. It costs a bit below $5 and is in the aisle with the honey, jam, and canned fruit. The company's name is Sarang Tawon. I believe they're based in Indonesia. I know they make several other syrup flavours like raspberry but have never seen them at the store. I'd love to try them as the passion fruit one is made with real sugar and is delicious, if a little strong - unlike homemade or Small Hand Foods, I usually have to back off Sarang Tawon a bit or it can overpower. I had the same experience with it. So thick and concentrated in flavor that you have to shave maybe 25-30% off the recipe's measure, but I say that just makes it last longer. I know that they also make a coco-pandan syrup that I'd like to try in a daiquiri variant.
