TGIF and Cheers from Tacbar!

I know I took a while to visit this one Suga fam, but from Suga Taster reports, I wasn’t quite pulled in yet.

I visited on a GNO mid August. We had the Tacbar Platter (any 8 tacos for J$3950). We chose the Ahi Tuna, Oxtail, Shrimp and Lobster Tacos.

The Ahi Tuna Taco needed a tasty, spicy balsamic vinaigrette.

I’m not sure why crushed chips were in the Oxtail Taco, but it was an unwelcomed crunch for me, not a hit. Like most folks, I prefer my Oxtail tender and boneless without that texture.

The Shrimp Taco was bland without the lime they provided with it. So definitely added that splash of lime.

The Lobster Taco was the best selection for us, but why put crumbled feta in it to overpower the Lobster? The taste of Lobster can be easily overpowered and feta is known for it’s sharp, pungent taste.

Anyhow, I love Chef Haleem Card’s food, but I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps they may have been a bit overwhelmed in the kitchen by the fact that it was Heineken’s Bar hopping series night. But kudos to them for still keeping a high quality of service by the restaurant. Those ladies were awesome and the music and vibes were fantastic.

It’s still Chilitos for me for authentic Mexican, but I will revisit.

Have a great weekend!

Suga Finally Revisited 22 Jerk since their Opening Week…

Suga Finally Revisited 22 Jerk (Ig:@22jerk) on Barbican road since their Opening Week.

I wasn’t blown away by the quality of the food, but I was indeed satisfied. They are generous with the side of plantains too, an entire plate.

I hear there are good and well, ‘not so good’ days there. Probably depends on who’s behind the fire.

Decent, comfortable open air spot with sufficient parking to grab a quick Lunch or Dinner and a drink though.

Big up Hillary for her great service. She will take care of you. I shall return.

Did You See Suga Tasters Stumbling into Anthony & his ER Crew at Nirvanna Global!

A bit over a month ago, Suga and fellow Suga Taster and friend, Tennyson Arnold visited Nirvanna Global (Ig: @nirvannaglobalja) for lunch, a familiar spot for us both.

We were pleasantly greeted by owner, Mahek Chatani when we arrived and we could also see that Anthony Miller and his Entertainment Report (ER) crew were in the house.

Nirvanna Global is currently one of my favourite go-to restaurants, so we had no issues participating in their feature and giving our feedback. Afterall, I literally had takeout from them the day before.

Enjoy a bit of Suga ‘uncut’, speaking about the Nirvanna trilogy that began with the authentic Nirvanna Indian, then Masala Wok, now the new Nirvanna Global.

Then check out Nirvanna Global’s full feature on ER broadcasted on Television Jamaica on August 27th!

Watch Nirvanna Global featured on TVJ’s ER – 26/8/22 here:

Visit Nirvanna Gobal in Progressive Plaza, Barbican. We had Onion Rings, Avocado Toast, Grilled Lobster and Salmon.

The menu is posted on their Instagram page highlights and they continue to be #SugaEndorsed.

Happy Sunday!

#tbt to Oceano Jamaica!

Believe it or not, Suga has not gone to Oceano Jamaica (Ig: @oceanojamaica) since it opened in Marketplace based on its reviews. Then the reviews became more balanced, so I started to consider visiting.

A few Saturdays ago, us girls needed a convenient spot to catch up and I felt for Japanese, so why not?

We selected Rolls that seemed exciting from the menu like the Surf n’ Turf and Peppa Shrimp Rolls.

We also had the Pimento Teriyaki Ribs and the other two items slipped me.

Presentation was fabulous, but the Rolls lacked the anticipated pop of flavours or spice.

No cherries for my Whisky Sour either. ? That’s a must for me.

Anyhow, it was all great to satisfy our appetites. That is all. There isn’t much to say about their standard of service received either.

It’s still Majestic and East Japanese for me. I am yet to try Koi Sushi, which I’ve heard good things about.

Yes, You Can Go Eat & Drink at Courtyard Marriott Jamaica!

Grilled Chicken Breast with roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables from Centro Restaurant at Courtyard, Marriott, Kingston.

I am not sure why, but many of us don’t realise you can visit the Courtyard Marriott by NHT, New Kingston (Ig: @courtyardkingstonjamaica) at their Restaurant, Centro and have Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner.

They finally seem to be getting a lunch crowd though. The wait was a bit long this time, so perhaps call ahead?

You can go healthy too. Besides my Whisky sour, I had Grilled Chicken Breast with roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables.

The food is consistently up to standard despite any change in Chefs and so are the Cocktails!

I would go for Breakfast or Dinner next time though.
They have meeting rooms to explore too.
Check them out!
