In the picture, homemade watermelon soft serve swirled inside a slice of juicy sweet watermelon. What's more unique is the addition of chocolate "seeds" on the watermelon. This redish-colored ice cream is also served with a small bottle of sea salt to sprinkle on top. The watermelon is not overly sweet and there is a little hint of flavour that might be of lemongrass.

It's incomplete if it goes to Dominique Ansel Bakery without trying their other signature creations. Every month they always make different flavors for Cronut. Honeydew Coconut Cronut (600Â¥) is available during September. This Cronut filled with honeydew melon jam and coconut ganache, finished with lime zest sugar. The taste of cronut is very tasty, sweet, and there is little sour from the melon. Cronut texture is a bit tough if you cut it with the plastic knife, but after biting it, it's actually quite crispy. Yummy!

The last thing to try is Frozen S'more. The staff will burn Frozen S'more in front of us. Revealing a center of homemade vanilla ice cream, crispy chocolate feuilletine, all covered with soft honey marshmallow torched to order. The taste of Frozen S'more is delicious, the vanilla ice cream mixed with a pretty sweet chocolate feuilletine. The marshmallow is rather chewy but fragrant because it is caramelized. The torched scent of these cubed frozen marshmallows adds to the delicacy of Frozen S'more.
