by with No Comment Brand JamaicaCulinary ExperiencesSuga TastersWhat's Hot

#fbf to Last Sunday to Brunch & Beats at EITS Cafe in Irish Town, Kingston (Ig: @17milepost)!

This staging of Brunch & Beats featured authentic Venezuelan Cuisine by Chef Ines and upbeat Venezuelan music by Sherkhan.

Watch Suga’s Highlights here!

The Menu kept signature dishes of EITS as options such as the Barrel Roasted Chicken, Curry Goat and their Ackee & Callaloo with fried Sweet Plantain made a Specialty Arepa! They did notttt disappoint, although I prefer my Curry Goat to be spicier.

The shredded Beef Specialty Arepa was wholesome and amazing!

We enjoyed all courses from start to finish, even if there were waits between, actually necessary to make room for more! I felt like I could have been happily rolled off the hill afterwards.

The Quesilla (Venezuelan Flan) was similar in taste to a Panna Cotta and the hints of Jamaican Rum in the sauce was delish.

A refreshing day in spring and a perfect reset for the week ahead.

*Reservations Recommended* They are closed this weekend for Light Renovations.

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!

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!

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

…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.

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.

#tbt to Lucca Italian Restaurant in Montego Bay! Authentic Italian #SugaEndorsed

by Culinary ExperiencesRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

After a great day of Labour Day Shopping in Montego Bay last Saturday with Suga Lifestyle, it was all about Lucca Italian Restaurant (Ig: @luccaitalianrestaurant) for the win!

So happy we finally got to visit.

Lucca Italian Restaurant is in The Annex Plaza Fairview, MoBay which is fairly modern, but inside the Restaurant gives you Old Tavern.

Our Server, Lawry was a breath of fresh air after a long day. She knew the menu and her wine cellar inside out, mixed great Cocktails and managed to be professional, but gave us a few laughs at the same time.

Their Focaccia starter with sautéed Mushroom (US$10.50) was one of the best Focaccia I’ve ever had. Focaccia doesn’t need to be drowned in Rosemary folks.

Hubby had the Rosse Pasta (US$12.60), which was an interesting, but tasty mix of a tomato sauce and a cream sauce with Shrimp and I thoroughly enjoyed the Chef’s Special Risotto with shrimp (US$20.60).

Authentic Italian with excellent service and affordable prices. We would definitely revisit Lucca Italian Restaurant. #SugaEndorsed

Rainforest Caribbean Brought the Sea to ROK Hotel Kingston last Friday!

by Chefs, Bakers and CaterersCulinary ExperiencesRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot
Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga with Award-Winning Chef Volae Williams at ROK Hotel Kingston’s Seafood Buffet with Rainforest Caribbean last Friday.
[Dress: EtAl]

TGIF was an understatement. Thank you Rainforest Caribbean and the Award-Winning Chef Volae Williams and his team at ROK Hotel Kingston by the ROKStone Grill for a spectacular Seafood Buffet Experience spanning about 7 stations.

Suga Highlights? Check them out here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5TVWcTO-HO/?igsh=YmxjMTN6cmloMHls

Jerked Octopus with scotch bonnet citrus herbed butter


– My targeted, ‘meaty’ Jerked Octopus with adequate heat from scotch bonnet citrus herbed butter
– Hubby’s fave, Ceviche by the Raw Bar was on point
– Enjoyable selection of traditional and Jamaican rolls by the Sushi and Nigiri station
– The Mixed Seafood Pasta! I’m gonna tell you about it!
– The Strawberry Macaroons and rich Chocolate Log Cake were perfection. Definitely worth the calories.

Chef Volae told Suga they made a special effort to bring out the taste of the flavour of Rainforest Caribbean’s Seafood and of course you can’t do that by piling on a sauce. So hubby and I definitely appreciated their mixed seafood tossed in fettuccine with sundried tomatoes in a very light Mondavi Wine, butter and garlic sauce. Surely the Fit Happens with Gabby way. Nailed it!

All you can eat for J$10,000 with a live band and wait staff that we gave an A for effort. This experience was definitely value for money, especially as we continuously strive to revive Downtown, Kingston.

Same time, same place each month Chef Volae, ROK Hotel Kingston and Rainforest Caribbean? We’ll see!

XoXo,
Suga
