Cherry blossoms still in bloom in Aowanda, Nantou (2014/03/07)

Cherry blossoms continue to be on view in Nantou’s Aowanda National Forest Recreation Area. Restaurants are taking advantage of the season to lure tourists with special dishes made from local ingredients.

For those who tire of the normal restaurant fare, eating establishments in Aowanda National Forest Recreation Area offer special foods only found at an elevation of 1,000 meters and above. This special fruit is available for a limited time.

This is only seasonally available from March or April to mid-June when the plant bears fruit.

When stir-fried with tomatoes and pork, the completed dish takes on a refreshing flavor.

There is also this steamed trout which uses fresh scallion and ginger plus makao and mountain pepper. It’s steamed for 12 minutes.

“Mountain pepper is not the same as mustard root, which is very bitter. This has a pungent smell.”

Because of the higher elevation, Aowanda’s Taiwan and Wusheh cherry blossoms will remain in bloom for another week or so. Tourists still have time to visit this mountain location to view cherry blossoms and endemic azaleas.

奧萬大賞櫻

櫻花的盛開期已經接近尾聲，南投奧萬大的寒櫻、霧社櫻花期，也即將在3月中旬結束，餐廳業者就趁著最後一波賞櫻期，推出當地特有食材的料理，讓民眾不僅可以聞到花香，還可以嘗到美食。

嚐膩了一般料理的味道嗎?來點新鮮的吧，奧萬大的業者推出了植物料理，在這海拔1千公尺以上才吃的到的果，限定季節，只有在這裡嚐得到。

“它這個(果)有季節性的，大概三、四月到六月中，它本來也可以當水果”

配上番茄、肉絲清炒後，就完成了一道，清炒金線肉絲，吃起來的味道，非常爽口。

還有這一道馬告花清蒸鱒魚，用新鮮的鱒魚加上少許的蔥薑後，最後加上馬告花，也就是山胡椒，蒸上12分鐘後，就可以上桌了。

[[遊客]]
“(山胡椒)不會像一般的芥末，太辛了，可是吃起來不會衝鼻”

因為海拔較高,奧萬大的寒櫻、霧社櫻現在還在開放，不過花期將在3月中旬結束，民眾可趁著最後一波賞櫻期，上山賞櫻。另外，現在正值杜鵑花開的季節，奧萬大,屬於台灣特有種的埔里杜鵑也陸續盛開，上山賞花、品嚐美食正是時候。
