Watermelon (西瓜)

Watermelon is one of the main agricultural crops around Hualian (花蓮). The watermelons from this region are characterised by the large oblong shapes. The flesh is tantalisingly sweet and juicy although the locals have the habit of dusting sour plum powders onto the fruit before eating them, which I find weird since the sour plum powder robs the natural taste of the watermelon.

 

There is a shop in the city specialising in fruits, especially in watermelons. What do you expect the name of the shop to be but '西瓜大王' (Watermelon King)?
