Suga’s Comments: Chive Restaurant continues to be #SugaEndorsed. I went with my hubby, Randy two Saturdays ago and it is certainly a pleasure each visit or even when we do takeout.
The flavours of Chive’s dishes set them apart. Their Crab Cake appetizer was divine! They used a curry for it that was not overpowering, so you could enjoy both the Crab meat, accentuated by the curry. Bravo.
The Lobster Tacos were excellent. Great serving too.
Their PESTO is RICH! We enjoyed a delish Pesto Pasta with Grilled Chicken.
Now their Mac & Cheese dishes, where you can choose a topping from Short Ribs to Shrimp is SINFULLY fantastic.
Not to mention their house made Cheesecake! Yummy with the perfect texture 👌🾠They owe me that Tiramisu that I missed out on! 😉
Safety measures were in place and practiced as we Cope with Covid-19 together. Pay Chive Restaurant a visit or do Takeout! Definitely Value for Money.

After 20 years of loyal patronage by locals and overseas visitors, Harmony Hall was sold and Toscanini closed.
Toscanini’s Chef, Pierluigi Ricci, nicknamed PG, opened PG’s Restaurant & Wine Bar along Tower Isle in October of last year.
He was happy to find the space, which he continues to make his own. Suga missed out on her trip to Rome this year, but you don’t have to go to Rome to experience the vintage ambience PG has created.
PG’s menu is based on what’s available at sea or is farm to table, accompanied by an extensive Wine List.
The dishes served continue to be high quality, authentic Italian dishes. Their fresh homemade Pasta is one of the best on the island and along with Simos Bread and Catering, so is their Tiramisu.
For Independence Day Weekend two Fridays ago, Suga dined with family, a party of 4. See some of what we enjoyed here!
Escargot BourguignonMozzarella Caprese SaladPappardelle Promodoro with grilled Shrimp (Shaved parmesan cheese & Tomato sauce)Fresh catch of the day, Mahi-Mahi.Tiramisu
We had Escargot Bourguignon, fresh Mozzarella Caprese Salad, Pappardelle Boscaiola (Bacon & fresh mushroom in a cream & tomato sauce), Pappardelle Promodoro with grilled Shrimp (Shaved parmesan cheese & rucola pesto) although they were out of Pesto so I received tomato sauce instead, Smoked Pork Chop in an apple cider sauce that was juicy to the bone and the fresh catch of the day, Mahi-Mahi.
Definitely value for money and worth the drive for Lunch one weekend if coming from Kingston. Pizza nights and rooftop dining may be on the horizon too.

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of indulging in mouth-watering, delicious Bread Pudding from The Bread Pudding Factory!
The Bread Pudding Factory opened in June of this year, a pivoting act around Covid-19 by Nikeisha Reynolds out of her home in Linstead, with the intention of acquiring a location. So the delicious Bread Puddings are currently available by delivery only.
You have the options of Rum & Raisin, Coconut Pineapple Upside Down, Chocolate Chip with Salted Caramel and the Plain Surprise.
Suga tried all flavours except for the Coconut Pineapple Upside Down. Although I love a Caramel crumble on top, they were all good! They had the right ratio of moisture to firmness and the flavours were really distinct. It was hard to determine, but the Chocolate Chip with salted caramel was my favourite.
Nikeisha, foodie turned baker, believes bread is a Jamaican staple that comforts the soul. She thinks it is quite versatile to use in the kitchen and so of course, she has other recipes for more flavours up her sleeve!
The cost for a mixed box of 4 is $2200JMD with an additional cost of $350JMD for delivery. Payment is COD or via Online Transfer. Order yours! The Bread Pudding Factory is #SugaEndorsed.

Suga has been craving lobster since it has been back in season. A restaurant was out of lobster last week, so why not go to an actual seafood restaurant, better yet, a new one!
Offshore Seafood Lounge facilitates social distancing with their ample rooftop dining space, whether covered or uncovered. So no need to worry about bad weather. I went when the evening just about cooled down and I could enjoy the airy seating with a city view, taking in all of Constant Spring’s new developments. Wink wink foodies!
Princess was our server and she did a great job. Attentive and pleasant throughout our stay, because we were there for hours. I blame the Bar and an excellent bartender. You know it’s hard to find a tasty, blended Piña Colada nowadays?! Even some of the hotels water it down, but you can get an authentic, rich, thick Piña Colada at Offshore Seafood Lounge.
We were offered complimentary Lobster Head Soup as a starter, which we enjoyed and everything we ate after that too. Well seasoned, fresh seafood, rich flavours, tasty sides, satisfying portions and great presentation, all for a reasonable price. Definitely value for money.
‘Flittaz’ – Fritters with flakes of salted codfish (JMD$600) and Fried Sprat served with a house pickle (JMD$650).
Fish Tacos (JMD$1000)
XL Shrimp served with mashed potatoes and seasoned vegetables (JMD$2300).
Garlic Lobster served with one side and seasonal vegetables (JMD$2900).
For the ladies who love their pics, there is an Offshore themed painted wall with great lighting upon entry. The DJ is also quite good. They surely seem to live by their tag line, Great Atmosphere, Great Food, Great Vibe. Give them a visit if they are open for the Holiday tomorrow, or this weekend! They are #SugaEndorsed.

TGIF! Yes, that’s right! Home-cooked from Suga’s kitchen. My husband, Randy threw it down a few Sundays ago with his homemade Shrimp Scampi, using shrimps from Rainforest Seafoods. It was fantastic, not to mention the plating!

You can do it too! Make use of the end-of-month deals from Rainforest Seafoods and show your family you can produce restaurant quality dishes for nights you may not feel comfortable going out to eat.

FINALLY, the anticipation is over and I was FULLY satisfied. Suga had a migraine all weekend, but I couldn’t help it, I had to dig into my box of Doughnuts from The Tipsy Doughnut! Was it worth it? Hell yea. Even if you wait a day, but BEST FRESH!
Scrumptious, moist goodness, full of flavour and so wholesome!
The Peanut Butter Bourbon took me straight back to NOLA and the Drunken Tiramisu was absolute heaven. My only complaint? More liquor please!
Stay tuned for the specially filled September doughnut, those are what I love even more. In the mean time, see ALL the flavours they have here!
Follow @thetipsydoughnut on Instagram to keep up with NEW Flavours and ORDER quickly because they get Sold out Fast! You’re welcome!

Gabrielle Burgess a.k.a Suga with Husband, Randy Burgess.
Mystic Thai, the restaurant with the Best Ethnic cuisine in Jamaica located in Montego Bay, came to Kingston again last Friday with Suga’s Birthday Gift!
Owner, Mrs. Kareena Mahbubani who usually has such a warm and regal presence in the Restaurant makes me feel at home whenever I visit and mentioned she feels happy when I am happy. Kareena believes in and delivers consistently high quality customer service, sees value in her customers and I truly felt honoured and appreciated. Thanks Kareena! #SugaSnaps
Hubby, Randy and I thoroughly enjoyed two dishes that we wouldn’t readily select fron the menu. It just shows that everything is good! With a mixture of Asian and Thai cuisine, Mystic Thai has quite a diverse menu.
Panang Fish Curry Thai.
We had Panang Fish Curry Thai, where the Panang curry is thick and peanut based, giving the Fish a unique, rich, authentic flavour.
Dal Tadka (Lentil)
We also had Dal Tadka (Lentil) from their Indian menu. It was fantastic! Full of flavour. We enjoyed both dishes with Jasmine rice and my favourite side, Garlic naan.
Give Mystic Thai a visit soon! They have been coming to Kingston about every 2 weeks. So, if you are in Kingston and can’t wait, trust me, the experience is worth the drive. #SugaEndorsed
