TAP NYC was made and inspired on traditional Brazilian “tapiocarias” – the house of the tapioca! Tapioca is a typical Brazilian delicacy made purely of cassava. It's a great gluten-free meal and contains no sodium, no sugar, no fat with no preservatives. FINALLY. A TASTY and FILLING BREAD ALTERNATIVE! It's a natural source of energy – well suited for athletes and high performance workers – both fat-free and cholesterol free, with no added preservatives!
The Brazilian influenced and themed restaurant provides a full menu of options for breakfast/lunch or mid-day snacks, using tapioca crepes since it's star ingredient to make the “crepes”.
TAPIOCA IN BRAZIL
In Brazilian cuisine, Tapioca (Yucca or Cassava) is moistened, strained via a sieve to become coarse flour, then sprinkled onto a warm griddle or pan, in which the heat helps make the starchy grains fuse into a flatbread which resembles a grainy pancake. It might be filled or topped with either salty pastry recipes or sweet pastry recipes, which define the kind of meal the tapioca is used for: breakfast, dinner, lunch or dessert.
Choices for fillings range from: butter, cheese, ham, bacon, several types of meat, chocolate, fruits, condensed milk, chocolate with sliced pieces of banana or strawberry, among others.
