It’s like our very own Chipotle, it’s Chop’d (Ig:@chopdja)!
We finally got another Healthy, Fast-Food option that we need! Centrally located in Loshusan, Barbican, you can do a quick pick up or sit down to have a bite and take a break from your busy day.
I’ve been during and after the busy lunch hour. I’m happy to say that their team is working faster and you get your options in good time. There are soooo many options!
Ideally you should get a quick breakdown according to your fave, but until then, you can do your own. What are you feeling for? What do you prefer? Salad, Bowl, Sandwich or Wrap? Then take it from there! First timers can take a glance at the Menu board for full descriptions, then grab a card to tick off your order. Remember you are NOT at Dim Sum, it adds up!
Suga has been loving Bowls recently. The Baja Bowl (J$1900) is my fave so far with a Grain blend base, cilantro lime cream, black beans, corn, pickled pineapple, sweet peppers, fresh tomato salsa, cilantro & avocado when in available/in season OR you are free to choose chopped apples etc. Loveeee that you can add hard boiled Egg (J$200/$380) & the other Protein Add-Ons are pretty good too such as Chop’d Herb Chicken (J$450/$855), Flaked Salmon (J$650/$1235) or Beef Filet ($750/$1425)…2-oz is still fulfilling.
Sandwich person? Chicken Salad Sammy with Cran-Apple Pecan (J$1700).
Wraps your thing? The Honey Mustard Salmon BLT (J$2100) is flavourful & fantastic.
Of course there are Salad Lovers here…so many options, you can build your own (J$1450 w/ 4 essentials + your Add ons). Conservatively, it can take you J$2500 without meat & J$3000 with meat.
Top things off with refreshing Iced Tea laced with the berry & flavour of choice for the day.
Great Food Quality. Love the Transparency of the Prep Process and to see that everything is kept as fresh as possible.
Having guests over and need to grab some tasty Bites, dips, sauces, Charcuterie options, Chocolate + a side of bubbly, you name it, they got it. They have the cutest market products. Most importantly, supporting Brand Jamaica too.
Even if it’s not your Economical Everyday Stop, treat yourself at Chop’d!
Have a Healthy Day!

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! XoXo, Suga

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.

It’s been a busy year, but Suga still makes her foodie rounds, especially to a few new spots!
Ahmeraki Cafe (Ig: @ahmerakicafe) opened earlier this summer. We visited mid July and need to go back!
Comfy, cosy cafe with artwork in arched walls, serving local JABLUM Coffee!
Courteous and attentive staff with tasty food for a quick, simple breakfast or lunch. I enjoyed my Salmon bagel and appreciated that though simple, they took pride in its presentation.
Overdue to revisit this one, by Constant Spring Golf Club.
Have a great start to your week Suga Fam!

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 Likkle AnnieB did Fraid a being suh Close to di Road …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.
[They had Indoor Dining, but it was too beautiful Outside]
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.
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

Randy and Gabrielle Burgess of Suga Lifestyle at Chillin’ Restaurant’s new location on Musgrave Avenue, Kingston, Ja last Friday, April 12, 2023.
Parking is a bit tight at Chillin’s new location at 3 Musgrave Road, but comfy and spacious with superior service once you enter, choose your desired seating area and dine.
Suga Lifestyle visited last Friday. The menu is predominantly Jamaican Cuisine, so Oxtail with rice and peas and a healthy serving of Jerked Chicken with Quinoa were our choice dishes. Both could have been authentic Jamaican with more spice, but was tasty and affordable nonetheless, especially the sauce that came on the side with the Jerked Chicken.
If taking Mom to Chillin’ Restaurant, make sure you know how to park.
