Suga’s Comments: 

Suga enjoyed the weekend before lockdown with hubby, Randy at Cru Bar & Kitchen’s Saturday Brunch.

Rooftop dining is quite sunny in the early afternoon, but we had a bit of breeze and some seating areas were partially covered or shaded. I welcome back the fans anytime though.

I appreciate the Scan Barcode menu anywhere I go. #SugaSnaps #CopingwithCovid

We enjoyed their consistently tasty and authentic Murray’s Curried Goat, as well as their Grilled Salmon along with refreshing Cocktails. We had two rounds of the Blue Lagoon Mojito and Whiskey Sour.

Murray’s Curried Goat served with handmade roti, bammy and steamed veggies (J$2100 +10% serv. charge +tx)
CRU Grilled Salmon with mashed potato, steamed veggies and sweet cilantro, lime glaze served on the side (J$2800 +10% serv. charge +tx)

Service was slow, but our waiter was attentive and we were just thankful for being outside, listening to the DJ play and seeing and waving to people from a distance. Seeing a few younger millennials in action was entertaining as well. The lighting on the rooftop seemed to be perfect for selfies.

Looking forward to returning to Brunch at CRU after the lockdown weekends.

…Until next time!

Suga’s Breakdown:

The Rocks Restaurant & Bar is located on the seaside directly across from Harmony Hall and has breathtaking views, attentive staff and food done to order.

We enjoyed Escargot (could have been a bit spicier), Roast Chicken and quite a commendable Curry Goat. #SugaSnaps

Escargot (USD$15)
Roasted Chicken (USD$12)
Curried Goat (USD$15)

The Crème Brûlée was deliciously rummy! A pleasant surprise.

The Rocks Restaurant & Bar is #SugaEndorsed. Thanks for the hospitality. I will have Cocktails from the Bar next time around!

Eating Healthy the Fun way with The Commissary’s Simo’s Bread and Catering!

by Brand JamaicaChefs, Bakers and CaterersHealth & FitnessRestaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

Start your week off the right way and remember you can eat healthy the fun way on weekends too!

Watch “Eating Healthy the Fun way with The Commissary’s Simo’s Bread and Catering!” on YouTube here:

I enjoyed going to the The Commissary by Devon House and using Simo’s Bread and Catering’s Cherry Tomato Salsa to top off my loaded baked Potato Wedges and Chicken franks (meat optional) also topped off with black beans and corn. Great for a light Lunch.

Then I had a little extra left and used it top off my Sunday Dinner! Hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed Simo’s Bread and Catering’s Vegan Pesto with my Grilled Chicken & whole grain Linguine Pasta, also topped off with a dash of low-fat, low calorie (20 cal.!) grated Parmesan Cheese.

Eating Healthy with PRESS Café who Delivers Now!

by Health & FitnessRestaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

Two weeks ago I had fun ordering Healthy from one of my faves, PRESS Café. Their online menu is user friendly, they are consistently reliable with processing your order on time and you can customize your order too.

I enjoyed the Chickpea & Turkey Breast Salad, loaded with Turkey breast, Chickpeas, lettuce, tomato, bell peppers, onions and sesame seeds. I didn’t request a dressing, but a vinaigrette is available.

Chickpea & Turkey Breast Salad from PRESS Café (J$1100)

I then satisfied my sweet tooth the healthy way by ordering PRESS’s Chia Pudding (Chia seeds, almond milk, agave, vanilla extract and my topping of choice, blueberries). You can definitely try making any of these at home, but it’s worth the convenience at PRESS.

PRESS’s Chia Pudding (J$590)

Even though PRESS is central on Ardenne Road (inside Ardenne Emirates), they deliver now too! Look out for their Vegan menu coming soon & have a Healthy day!
