Sumith, you are so right to choose this wonderful combination – watermelon does not taste the same if I was not able to get the cheese from LuLu – the inclusion of this cheese turns the melon into a little gourmet treat. And regarding your plating – I am running out of accolades! Wonderful as always. Thanks.
