passionfruit craving

I have been trying to satisfy a particular craving of mine i.e. for passionfruit. Not fakey artificial flavoured syrups but for the fresh deeply yellow and fragrant fruit. Been asking M, a good friend of mine and globetrotter by profession to hunt down a jar or two of passionfruit curd in markets and delis in Sydney, Perth, San Frans and London but to no avail. I found some at Tekka market but sadly they were white fleshed and weak in taste and smell. The fruit seller says those are from India and are not the yellow ones I was looking for.

The other day, I was walking by Gelatissimo and remembered I had a passionfruit sorbet by the Sydney harbour 2 years back. The sorbet, coupled with the view of the harbour on a cool winter's day, was an unforgettable gastronomic memory. I stopped at the Scotts Road branch, made sure it was the same as the Sydney one, scanned the selection and zoomed in on the passionfruit sorbet. The verdict? Yes, it's the same one! It's the same taste! Creamy, fragrant, sweet, tangy with crunchy little black seeds. I finally found a way to satisfy the passionfruit craving in me without having to fly to Oz to get it.

PS. Lousy photo taken with my mobilephone, while trying to walk in busy tunnel in Orchard Road, while trying to lick the sides of the cup.
