How it's used
Refers specifically to the type of melon with a netted skin, often known as cantaloupe or rockmelon. While it is a common fruit in Hong Kong, it is frequently served as a dessert or in fruit platters rather than as a staple ingredient in savory soups, unlike other varieties like winter melon or papaya.
