Hello, Hivers and Foodies!!
Since yesterday, I've been trying to write this post, and every time I sat down in front of the laptop, the power went out. I think yesterday the power went out at home about 6 times and it was quite frustrating. I hope to have more luck today power-wise, but that's not what I'm here to tell you about, but a foodie experience I had last month during my trip to Bogota.
A couple of days ago, I told you about a visit to the Museo y Parque del Chico, and I told you that I came out of the visit hungry, so now I'm going to tell you about what I ate after the visit.
Looking for places to eat in the city, I came across the info of a sushi place that caught my attention because their specialty was Nori Tacos. To be honest, I had never even heard of them, but when I saw a picture I knew I had to try them.
The Nori Tacos are tacos that instead of the traditional corn tortilla are made with crispy Nori seaweed and the filling is whatever you want but it is usually very similar to a sushi roll.
The place called Akasaki was on my way from the park to the place I was staying. It was well past lunchtime when I arrived. It is on 81st Street between Carrera 8 and 9.
It was empty because as I mentioned it was past lunchtime and it was still early for dinner.
When I arrived, I was served by the owner of the restaurant and he gave me the menu. When I told him that I knew I wanted the Nori Tacos, he smiled and told me that was exactly what he was going to recommend.
So I ordered and waited for my order to be delivered.
The dish was a trio of tacos. One with shrimp ceviche, one with tuna tartar, and the other with salmon ceviche with a touch of passion fruit.
All three were delicious, but the one I liked the most was the shrimp ceviche.
The Nori was crunchy. And the shrimp ceviche had less sauce than the others and that helped the seaweed stay crispy while I ate it.
The tuna tartar was tasty, but I don't know if it's just that now that I'm watching my diet, I'm a little picky, and I thought it had too much sauce that was kind of a house mayo.
I also liked the salmon one, and the touch of passion fruit gives it a very nice flavor.
I loved these sushi tacos and I can't wait to try making them at home.
So as soon as I can I will buy a package of Nori seaweed to try to make them crispy. Maybe I can make them in the Air fryer, what do you think?
Have you tried Nori Tacos?
Thank you for reading.
