TGIF! Head up to EITS Cafe, 17 Mile Post on Saturdays & Sundays!

Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle with her AnnieB at EITS Cafe in Irish Town, Kingston, Jamaica [Date of Visit: Saturday, September 7, 2024]

It’s always great breathing in the fresh air in the Blue. Adding farm to table, freshly made food is Brawta!

Watch Highlights from Suga and AnnieB’s visit here:

Known for their Barrel Roasted Chicken, I switched things up, starting with their tasty Tomato Bruschetta (on bammy!) and tried the new lightly Curried pineapple Chicken which was seasoned so well…a fantastic balance, as it wasn’t too spicy. The sweet potato croquettes that accompanied it, were perfection. Loved it! Awesome dish.

Their Saltfish Fritters and Shrimp Pasta with herb Pesto are usually hits too.

***N.B. Not always Paw-friendly… Check in with the Owner first, to make sure the big ones aren’t there 🙂 Reservations recommended; Call +1 (876) 367-8191***

Remember, Balance is Key… Enjoy Jamaica!

Have a Great Weekend!

#tbt to Celebrating Being Blessed to have Kamila’s Kitchen for Vegetarian!

Suga visited the Award-Winning Kamila’s Kitchen (Ig: @kamilaskitchen_ja) at their New Location in the Marketplace in her celebratory month of June and it did not disappoint!

Check out Highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_iKDQ2O_Rf/?igsh=c29jd2FtdWtsanVs

The Restaurant was full and the Service was quick.

Being a creature of habit sometimes, I went for my favourite, the Glow Bowl, which had a special spin on it that day, where Fricasse Mushroom was the highlight! A burst of colours and flavours. I can’t believe it’s Vegetarian!

To make things complete, I had Fruits my way with their delish, satisfying Very Berry Smoothie.

As the kids head back to school, take advantage of feeding their brains with WellFit Foods and Wellness (Ig: @wellgoodja) products available at Kamila’s Kitchen, MarketPlace… Spicy Vegan Cheese, Coconut Yogurt and Walnut Lentil Meat!

Create your own version of Kamila’s Kitchen’s Best New Gastronomy Experience in your homes and feel Guilt-Free.

Also, for a Back to School Relief Weekend, head up to their Skyline Levels location next Saturday, September 14 for Restaurant Round Robin! Make your Reservations. Call +1 876-671-2336.

The Craveable, Plant-based, Dairy- Free, JAMAICAN Kamila’s Kitchen continues to be #SugaEndorsed

What are you doing for the last weekend of Summer?

At the end of June just before Hurricane Beryl hit, we enjoyed an R&R weekend at Rafjam West (Ig: @rafjamwest) in Whitehouse, Westmoreland, quite close to Ivy’s Cove.

Watch highlights from our weekend here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_TT0dku5hA/?igsh=MW54Ymdndmk2eDBxMg==

Though the house has about 3 or 4 rooms, we had the place to ourselves that weekend with a pool, bar and a private beach. The place was brand new, with tasteful, modern furnishings and all the amenities needed. Thankfully, it was not affected by the hurricane. Unfortunately, just a few trees came down.

Our meals were cooked to order. We enjoyed our Jamaican breakfast, Curried Chicken and Steamed Fish for lunch. Less options available, but the same high standard as that of Raf Jam in Irish Town, Kingston. Delicious.

We didn’t get a chance to visit the bar across the water that looked like a decent lyme, but next time. 

We visited Luna Sea Inn (also ok after the Hurricane) for dinner by the sea one night, which had great service. Our Steaks were delectable and the bartender was awesome.

We stopped by Cloggy’s on the Beach (Current operations unknown), on our way back and had tasty Curried Shrimp and Conch. A bit of a wait, but we weren’t in a rush. We chatted and enjoyed the the seaside view from our table, not venturing off near the water where there may be gators!

We enjoyed a quiet, scenic getaway weekend and happily recommend Rafjam West to your family and friends.

Happy Monday! Where are you having your Coffee Today?


It’s been a busy year, but Suga still makes her foodie rounds, especially to a few new spots!

Ahmeraki Cafe (Ig: @ahmerakicafe) opened earlier this summer. We visited mid July and need to go back!

Comfy, cosy cafe with artwork in arched walls, serving local JABLUM Coffee!

Courteous and attentive staff with tasty food for a quick, simple breakfast or lunch. I enjoyed my Salmon bagel and appreciated that though simple, they took pride in its presentation.

Overdue to revisit this one, by Constant Spring Golf Club.

Have a great start to your week Suga Fam!

Just 2 Weekends ago, We Enjoyed One of the Best Places for Curried Goat in Jamaica

Mussu’s Restaurant, Holland Bamboo, St. Elizabeth 21.6.24

Our Eye Wata an Our Nose Run
Yellow was the Colour part of our Shirts Tun
Likkle AnnieB did Fraid a being suh Close to di Road
…and the friendly, big Dogs welcoming her to their Abode
I missed capturing the Goats Crossing
They disappeared so quickly, Curry in di Pot was Calling.

Check out the Memories from 2 Weekends ago here!

[They had Indoor Dining, but it was too beautiful Outside]

Mussu’s Restaurant, Holland Bamboo and Dear St. Elizabeth,
We wish we could offer more than our well wishes and prayers at this time, but we will check and listen out to see if there is ANY way we can help them to rebuild.

Persons have already messaged us, that just simply helping to replant the Bamboo would be appreciated. Pictured, it takes about 5 years for Bamboo to reach that height and maturity.

The people of St. Elizabeth will be out of electricity for weeks, maybe months. Some of their medication needs to be refrigerated. Generators are needed and much more.

American Friends of Jamaica is collecting Donations for the Southern Coast of Jamaica affected by Hurricane Beryl:
