TGIF! CONGRATULATIONS to not only the JLP, but JAMAICA!

With great weather, COVID or no COVID, it has been made clear that Jamaicans have exercised their right to vote. With a low voter turnout, if persons did not choose to vote, based on the results, that speaks volumes as well.


History has certainly been made.
I am sure there will be recounts of a few marginal seats with victories of less than 25 votes, such as Lisa Hanna’s seat, Hugh Graham & Luther Buchanan, who lost to Daniel Lawrence.

With 10 mystery boxes left to be counted in Juliet Holness’ and Joan Gordon Webley’s constituency, it seems safe to say, for now, the JLP has won with a landslide victory of 49-14.

We hope to see Dr. Peter Phillips come out and thank his supporters and formally concede.

Have a safe and blessed weekend.

Suga Taster, Randy had Rainforest Seafoods’ NEW Poke Bowl for Lunch!

20200712_213643

Last Tuesday, Suga Taster, Randy Burgess ordered Rainforest Seafoods’ NEW Tuna Poke Bowl for Lunch. He thought it was definitely filling, as it had a healthy serving of Veggies: carrot, cucumber, radish, snow peas and Edamame. Additionally, it had a good serving size of Tuna and sticky Sushi Rice. The Tuna was spicy since it was drizzled with Sriracha sauce, but the Veggies cooled down the palate and everything was fresh!

20200712_213714

Was it Value for Money?

Randy thought the cost was way too much with delivery, but tasted good. By ordering through the Pekkish App, the Tuna Poke Bowl costed $1960JMD, but $2754.00JMD when delivery and service charges were added.

Any Suggestions for Rainforest Seafoods?

Suga Taster, Randy would love to see a Salad option with no rice and an option to pick up at the Crossroads branch.

Rainforest Seafoods also offers Smoked and Cooked Salmon Poke Bowls, Raw and Cooked Rolls, Sushi Platters and Bento Boxes (Japanese Lunch Boxes)  exclusively through Pekkish Jamaica in Kingston for delivery and in Montego Bay at the Seafood Market, which offers Free Delivery.
