Tasting Menu "hạ hoạch"

I recall mornings when the sunlight was still tender, filtering through the leaves like whispers of hope. My small feet led me to my grandfather’s garden—a place alive with the scent of moist earth and lingering dew. There, the air trembled softly under the sweet hint of fruit ripening in the early summer warmth. I would pick a plum, feel its slight “pop” under my fingers, and in that moment, I felt as though I was touching a fragment of my grandfather’s unspoken devotion.

Sometimes, he’d gently suggest sprinkling a little roasted salt on the fruit. The union of salt and sweetness would, in an instant, remind me that true magic can be found in the simplest pleasures.

By midday, I’d set off for the ocean, drawn by the heady aroma of sea breeze and the promise of infinite horizons. There, I discovered a taste of wonder in the hiss of fish grilling over glowing embers, the crackle and snap of its skin kissed by flames. If there was a symphony for summer, the smoke curling upward was its secret refrain.

And then came the squid—fresh from the water, needing only the barest seasoning before it turned succulent on the grill. Each bite awakened something in me, an echo of salt and sun that felt like the pure essence of the sea. Someone once teased, “Are you savoring the squid or swallowing the sunshine?”—and I realized perhaps I was doing both.

Some summers led me upward, toward mountains draped in dawn mist. The winding paths felt like paintings come to life, edged with silvery dew that sparkled on the grass. At sunset, in a simple wooden stilt house, the aroma of forest meat cooking over an open flame wound its way through my senses, stirring an inexplicable longing in my soul.

The meat itself was unassuming, but in that rustic space—walls resonating with the quiet hush of trees—it tasted more precious than any delicacy. A few leaves of boiled wild greens dipped in roasted chili salt contributed a gentle sting at the tip of the tongue, a reminder of nature’s welcome, unadorned and yet profoundly moving.

At day’s end, as the sun sank behind the hills, I felt as though I were tucking all these flavors into a small valise inside my heart. I nestled the sweetness of orchard fruit, the smoky tang of seaside grills, the charred edges of mountain fare, and the briny kiss of roasted salt—each taste a souvenir of love and belonging.

Even now, whenever I recall these moments, a subtle tremor runs through me, as though I am hearing the gentle notes of that childhood melody all over again. And maybe that is what summer has always tried to tell me—that there is no greater luxury than the simple truths of home, and no deeper grace than the quiet affection that endures, season after season, in the most ordinary of miracles.
