by with No Comment Brand JamaicaCulinary ExperiencesWhat's Hot
Gabrielle Burgess, CEO of Suga Lifestyle with Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Aubyn Hill yesterday at the Jamaica Coffee Festival Launch held at Devon House.

Jamaica Coffee Festival will be on MARCH 1 at HOPE GARDENS!

Jamaica Coffee Festival was launched yesterday at Devon House!

Highlights:
There are places in the world that sell Coffee claiming it is Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee and it is not! Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining, Floyd Green announced that we will be putting a QR Code on all our Coffee Packages produced in Jamaica and we can track where and when it was farmed and produced in Jamaica! The entire Process! We shall claim all the revenue we deserve. Fantastic!

Most Impressive teaser Booth: Camgar Farm (Ig: @official_camgarcoffee) !
Who needs Coffee when your Pancake Syrup is Coffee Infused! Looking forward to when it hits the market! Overall impressive display and delish pairings. #SugaSnaps

Likkle More Chocolate had a Eye-Candy Display including g their NEW Sorrel flavour that will be available all year round and their NEW Pink Peppercorn flavour that is available for a limited time. It’s subtle combo of flavours was delicious!

The Green Bean will be Popping Up at Events with your desired Café experience! Check them out for your functions or events.

And of course, I enjoyed my Cold Coffee Chiller from Partner, Jablum Coffee with CEO Senator Norman Grant.

Have a Great Weekend!

TGIF! Lose Touch of Reality and See Where the Food Needed No Filter

by with No Comment Brand JamaicaRestaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

In case you didn’t know, one of our favourite Restaurant and Bar spots in Kingston 8 is back! The New Cellar 8 Wine. Bar.Bistro (Ig: @cellar8kgn) in Upper Manor Park Plaza has reopened for a bit over a month now. Happy to revisit one of my old faves last Sunday, not much has changed and that’s a good thing. Though we will share a love letter re the table setting, the Décor was spruced up a bit, still modern with a balance of black and white and pops of colour. I always loved the flooring and there’s still a touch of wooden furnishing to give an ounce of Vintage Cellar.

Yashema was our courteous server. She took care of us well and was excited to share that our Dessert’s cream wasn’t as calorific because, fun fact: It was Yam Cream! Who would have thought?!

As I sipped my Manhattan, we enjoyed,

– Jerk Beef Kofta – Well seasoned, Flavourful
– Caesar Caprese – Delish! Especially for a Salad
– Petite Fillet (Temp – MR) – Perfection
– Pan Seared Lamb Farci (Temp-MR)- Perfection
– Bread Pudding with Yellow Yam Cream!
I still love my Bread Pudding fluffier with a crumble on top, but this was uniquely tasteful

Would love to people-watch more Diners though, so head to The New Cellar 8 and check it out! Their Menu is online. Looking forward to returning and having the Sweet Potato Crusted Salmon and I would love them to consider putting their NYE Special of Ribeye Steak on the menu for the Steak Lovers.

Have a Great Weekend!

XoXo, Suga

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

by Brand JamaicaCulinary ExperiencesRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot
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:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAJCSLauLhS/?igsh=MXZjeHBjbTkzNGxqNw==

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!

by Brand JamaicaChefs, Bakers and CaterersCulinary ExperiencesFit Happens with GabbyHealth & FitnessRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersTHE BESTWhat's Hot

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?

by Brand JamaicaRestaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

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.

XoXo, Suga
