Lotus tea 蓮花茶My mom and I visited a wonderful restaurant/tea house 食養山房 up on the Yang-Ming Mountain (陽明山). Taiwan is truly blessed with natural resources. The surrounding ocean offers fresh seafood, and the mountainous terrain and temperate climate provide excellent conditions for fruits, vegetables, and teas. This restaurant is situated on the mountain, in a pine tree garden (松園). When we visited the restaurant, the mountain was permeated by a misty rain and fog. It added another layer of tranquility to the atmosphere. The food is a cleaned up version of mainly Chinese and somewhat pan-Asian type of cooking - healthy but flavorful food with pleasant presentation. At US$30 per person, this is truly a great deal.
