The flavors in this dish are amazing. Aunty Lilikoi's Passion Fruit/Coconut Syrup was the inspiration for this recipe. I found the Syrup at a craft fair / farmers market on the Island of Kauai. I wish that you can all go and pick up a bottle for yourselves. But if not, I did a quick check and it is available online. Also the syrups, sold seperatly are easily found at local stores and Amazon also carries these. Close your eyes and feel the trade winds. Enjoy
