Mummmm, I tried this at my neighbors bbq. It was excellent. I begged for the recipe until she gave it up. It's so simple, I'm sharing it with all of you. Hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. Since it is almost impossible to find Thai Melons here, we substituted with sweet Honeydew Melons. Please note cooking time is chilling time.
