After Suga Lifestyle spent last Saturday successfully showcasing a few of our local businesses and entrepreneurs, what better way to celebrate than with an Authentic Jamaican Dinner!
It has been long overdue, but I returned to the Reggae Mill Restaurant last Sunday with hubby, Randy.
Their Jamaican Wings started us off and my only complaint is that we wanted more. Seasoned to perfection with a sauce that was finger lickin’ good.
We missed out on their tender Oxtail, so we both had the Ruddy Ram Goat with Steamed veggies, festival and the available rice and peas. Tasty, truly authentic Jamaican Curried Goat.
As if I didn’t have enough Bread Pudding for the weekend, I couldn’t pass theirs up either. They surely didn’t short us on the Rum in that Rum and Raisin Bread Pudding.
Comfortable setting and decent ambience with staff adhering to Covid-19 protocol. Reggae Mill Restaurant is #SugaEndorsed.
Even though she may not have been there that day, kudos to her guidance and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to Reggae Mill Restaurant’s Executive Chef and Managing Director Orlease King!

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.

Founded by Nadine Burie, originally from the Ivory Coast, West Africa, I present to you, Likkle More Chocolate!
Here is a Likkle More Information!
Nadine is a fine pastry Chef and Artisan Chocolatier who did courses at Canada’s most prestigious, Chocolate Academy and more.
It took 4 years to bring the brand, Likkle More Chocolate to life. They went all around Jamaica, contacting various farmers, building relationships and testing all regions.
They learnt to ferment and dry the cocoa beans themselves for a better control of quality. All of this, to give Jamaica a very high quality product as good as any other Chocolate in the world.
Flavours!
• 55% dark milk with Plantain Chips (1 day in NYC, Nadine tried Potato Chips & Chocolate, loved it. Plantain Chips are one of her favourite snacks, healthy too, so thought it would be amazing to try it and she LOVED IT. We loved it too!) • 55% dark milk with Sea Salt • 55% Coconut milk • 68% dark with Blue Mountain Coffee • 70% dark with Ginger (Ground into their own Ginger Powder) • 70% dark with Scotch Bonnet (Scotch Bonnets are dehydrated & ground into powder) • 72% dark Single Estate (A pure dark chocolate from one of Jamaica’s best regions, St. Thomas. Well known for its fruity notes.) • White chocolate Green Matcha (A high quality green matcha tea food grade is used that is then infused with White chocolate)
Where can you get them and what’s the cost?!
They cost 950$+ tax each and you can get them at Coffee Traders/Cafe Blue’s Main Office located at 69 Constant Spring Road. Unit 10.
FUN FACTS:
How do they get Colours on the Chocolates?
Each Chocolate mold is painted using a natural and organic coloured cocoa butter to get the colours on the chocolates.
Tell you Likkle More?
You get an exclusive experience with a mix of everyday, local flavours.
You will feel the Jamaican vibes with splashes of Tropical colours. For Likkle More, Jamaica is vibrant, it’s happiness, it’s music, it’s beauty, it’s rich.
Their Chocolates have a high % of Cocoa Nibs because they want it to be healthier.
For Sweetening, they use brown cane sugar for the milk and dark chocolates and white cane sugar for the the white chocolates.
Likkle More is Eco-friendly, using all-natural ingredients and plant- based, recycled and biodegradable packaging
Suga’s Experience with Suga Tasters, Randy Burgess, Kimberly Nesbeth and Damany Calder on Sunday, August 16, 2020
All the flavours were fantastic! My favourite was the 55% dark milk with Plantain Chips (where you actually crunch through the chip!) as well as the 72% dark Single Estate with the fruity flavours. It reminded me of my old favourite back in the day, Cadbury Fruit and Nut, but of course richer with the dark chocolate even though we all enjoyed everything.
The flavours were so rich and pronounced, especially with the Matcha, Ginger and Scotch Bonnet. Their flavours were not overwhelming with pepper, ginger etc. Each Chocolate depending on the flavour, took us on a journey through 2 or more flavour profiles, for instance, sweet to spicy to rich, where everything did not hit us at once and that was remarkable!
‘Likkle More Chocolate will get better and better because everyday we are learning new things and continuing constantly to test because we want each time to be better’ says Founder, Nadine Burie.
Find a Likkle More Chocolate near you! Enjoy the Weekend!

It’s been a long time coming, but I finally got to revisit Seaside Dutchie over Independence weekend. The Service was even better and faster this time. The Appetizers were just as tasty and the Main was just as delicious. Value for money once again. I keep missing out on their Bread Pudding though!
Johnny Be Good ($700JMD) – Deep fried Johnny Cakes stuffed with Spicy Shrimp and Callaloo with Escovitched MayonnaiseSaltfish Fritters ($700JMD) – Priory crispy Conch FrittersRoasted Fish (Price based on the size of the Fish and served with your choice of sides)
Check out Seaside Dutchie’s current opening hours by giving them a call on the number below. They should be a must-stop whenever you are in St. Ann for some authentic Jamaican cuisine with their special twist or just some good seafood without a lengthy wait. Kudos to the Chef. Suga hopes to be back sooner and not later because Seaside Dutchie is still #SugaEndorsed. Cheers!
