Summer is the season of melon/gourd/squash or “gwâa” (瓜),in Cantonese. I have taken a photo of most of the "gwâas" we can find in Hong Kong and you can view them on my Local Vegetables Page.
Those who are reading my post and live in Hong Kong should rejoice about the forthcoming opening of Island East Markets. I am sure they (we) will find lots of locally grown gwâas there!
Here is below a list of the most popular types of melon that you can find at Hong Kong markets right now. As you will notice each one of them has the Chinese character - 瓜 – gwâa - at the end of its name.
