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***

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!
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.

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

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.

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.
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

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.
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!

Jakes at Treasure Beach, St. Elizabeth, JamaicaMissed me on Mello?
Want to Enjoy Easter, but stay on your Fitness Mission?
Easter Brunch or Dinner can feel just as special at home as they would at a restaurant with a little planning and prep.
Try these Dishes in the Kitchen:
1. DEVILED EGGS An Easter classic. Great brunch side or appetizer.
Use hot or mild pepper sauce, try dill or a sweet pickle relish, use fat-dree mayo and add a sprinkle of fresh Chives for more flavor.
2. Not a Deviled eggs fan? Try SPINACH AND MUSHROOM QUICHE or one of my faves, a CALLALOO FRITTATA.
Ensure you use unsweetened Almond milk and a low fat cheese such as a part skim mozzarella.

3. VEGGIE SIDES
Take advantage of seasonal flavors and root vegetables to add colour nutritional value to your Easter table. Root vegetables include carrots, parsnips, beets, red onion and sweet potato.
4. CORIANDER AND LEMON CRUSTED SALMON with Asparagus Salad and Poached Egg
5. CARROT CAKE OR YOUR OWN VEGETARIAN EASTER BUN!
Use whole-wheat or spelt flour (hulled, purer wheat), Unsweetened Almond milk, Cinnamon and Agave to sweeten instead of sugar.
If you aren’t Vegetarian, please also cook or bake with Olive oil or Vegetable oil, not Coconut oil. We will leave that debate for after Easter. 🙂
Have a Happy, Holy and Restful Easter. Remember Balance is key.

Where are you dining this weekend? It’s our first Post Covid Christmas and everyone is busy, out and about!
My Christmas dining experience was made when one of our Faves, Summerhouse located in Harmony Hall, Ocho Rios came to Kingston last weekend with a Yuletide Grill Prix Fixe Menu at 10 West Kings House Road.
With visiting Chef Bill Clark (Ig:@frombilClark) joining them in the kitchen, Appetizers and mains rolled out in a timely manner and service was excellent, as Beverages flowed as well.
Ordering their Saltfish Fritters was a must! They are like dumplings! Their Smoked Marlin Dip with homemade chips, a treat as well.
Their Charred Drunken Beef was perfection and indeed left me with a drunken feeling of satisfaction all evening.
Hubby, Randy enjoyed the Grilled Lobster with scotch bonnet sambal, coconut, saffron and turmeric. I meaaan, when he hardly wants to give me a 2nd bite, you know it’s fantastic.
The sides of Kale and Roast Pumpkin salads were absolutely delightful. Not sure how the misfit of Fries emerged, but looks like we missed out on the Holiday Fattoush Crispy Bread. We had no space for it anyhow.
A mouthwatering Brownie with a taste of Coffee Ice cream was the Finale to our feast and a fabulous Sunday leading up to Christmas.
