candied kumquat
I have always felt that the taste of kumquat is like the taste of missing. It is exquisite, round and lovely. I can't help but not touch it. Once touched, the sour and sweet taste is a fragrance that even lips and teeth will cherish. Just like missing, it will always inadvertently open the door to that thought, so the sweet and sour taste will surge in together, and you can't stop it. But that sweet miss always haunts me with endless aftertaste, just like you have never left. So, I decided to spend an afternoon thinking of you on this warm afternoon...
