TGIF From Where the WiFi is Weak, but the Rum is Strong at Worthy Park Estate Rum Tour!

by Brand JamaicaSuga TastersWhat's Hot

Three weeks ago, we visited Jamaica’s Newest Rum Tour attraction, BUT our Oldest Rum Producer at The Worthy Park Estate Rum Tour.

It is just 1 hour outside of Kingston and Ocho Rios, located in St. Catherine, Jamaica.

Watch Highlights “From Where the WiFi is Weak, but the Rum is Strong at Worthy Park Estate Rum Tour!” on YouTube here:

https://youtu.be/pOmCMu_S2ZI

THINGS TO KNOW! 
– 1st producer of Rum in Jamaica in 1670
– Halted Bulk Rum production in 1962, allowing others to go into market
Largest producer of Brown Sugar on the island
– Only Local Rum Producer with a Copper Pot Still (such a beaut!) 
– Produces over 7 varieties of Rum

WHY RUM-BAR RUM IS SO AFFORDABLE! 
– Worthy Park is a True Single Estate Producer, using its own raw materials, including Molasses! 
– Their Molasses is in a tank on a scale. No need to truck and weigh it like other Rum Producers 
– No wastage. Their Bagasse left over after juicing Sugar Cane is used for Electricity! 

An informative, eye-opening, exciting tour by Shunna-Gaye, witnessing the transition of Sugar Cane to pure, premium Jamaican Rum! 
The Tour closed with a Rum Flight, tasting 5 Award-winning Rum-Bar and Worthy Park Single Estate premium rums. 

FUN FACTS
– Suga has a Biotechnology degree and visited Worthy Park just before they started producing RUM-BAR Rum! 
– Whatever you Drink, they have a Rum Worthy for You. My fave as a Scotch drinker, was the Single Estate Reserve. 
How come? Go Visit and See for Yourselves! 
WORTHY Park Estate Rum Tour is #SugaEndorsed

Until this New Attraction grows and is expected to provide more with more guests, it is highly suggested you eat first and carry a snack. 

*Tour Reservations are by Appointment Only
Must be 18 and over to Tour
*Closed on Public Holidays
Cost of Tour – J$2700 with local ID; US $25

What’s for Breakfast?! Time to Revisit Trotter’s Cafe!

by Restaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

Breakfast at Trotter’s Cafe (Ig: @trotterscafeja) is still good.

We had the Trotter Passport with fluffy Waffles, Eggs my way and Bacon + a tasty Smoked Salmon Omelette with Iced Coffee (added Almond milk only) for me and Black Coffee for Hubby.

Service time could be a bit quicker, but staff were attentive and the ambience is pretty chill while you wait.

Go check them out or revisit if you haven’t been in a while like us. Parking is adequate.

The Cutest Little Spot For High QualiTEAS Right Now Is Mimimo Bakery!

by Restaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

Tasty, High QualiTEAS from Mimimo Bakery (Ig:@ mimimo_ja) located in Progressive Shopping Center, Barbican serving you Boba, Milk, Thai Teas and more.

Of course, my fave is the Matcha Milk Tea with Boba.

You can add your own toppings + add one of their yummy Desserts that move fast!
I really wanted to try the Matcha Swiss Roll, but didn’t mind settling for the Mocha Cream Cheese Cake that was delish too.

What is Bubble Tea or BOBA anyway?!
Tapioca starch a.k.a cassava starch or tapioca pearls. Small spheres are often simmered in a brown sugar syrup to give them a sweet taste and dark black color.

Still waiting on Mimimo to get Almond or Oat Milk and it would be awesome for them to get the VisuEats App to see what all these Teas look like!
Go check them out.

by Brand JamaicaCulinary ExperiencesRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot
Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle at the Visueats Launch at AC Hotel on Friday, March 3, 2023.

Which Restaurant would you like to see with a proper Digital Picture menu?

I would like to see a few of my faves, Koi Sushi (Ig: @koisushija), Orchid Thai Restaurant (Ig: @orchidthaijamaica) and Nirvanna Global (Ig: @nirvannaglobalja) with one.

Waiting it out a little, but does the new Buzo Jamaica(Ig: @buzo.jamaica) have one?

Visueats is revolutionising the dining experience led by two phenomenal women in tech, Sophronia McKenzie and Tanesha Westcarr.

With Instagram, TikTok and more, we’ve been eating with our eyes. By seeing the dishes before they come out of the kitchen, Visueats allows us to choose what we want to eat without spying on plates passing by. Appetise with your eyes from the Menu first!

You could also get a headstart from home with the Visueats app. I encourage Restaurants to get with it and sign up!

Follow Visueats and check out their Link Tree here:

https://linktr.ee/visuEats?fbclid=PAAaa60NO6eKfzYwwbJE1GTEaLtlogf6Os00VuPd-lmi8V6DmmNAPeP0JB0x4

Oh and if Sweet Wines are your vibe, check our Old Tavern Wines (Ig: @oldtavernjamaica)! Loveeee the Bottling.

Happy Friday! Endless Cocktails and a New Menu from Regency Bar and Lounge!

by Culinary ExperiencesRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot
Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga of Suga Lifestyle with the New Elderflower Martini and Melon Surprise from Regency Bar and Lounge, Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel at their New Menu Launch last Tuesday.

A Renewed Regency Bar and Lounge (Ig: @regencybarandlounge)? YES Please! I’d love to see all the ladies return to Regency in 3s and 4s in their LBDs and the Gentlemen dressing their best.

Endless Cocktails have returned Every Friday 5pm – 10pm and the NEW NEW Menu is FIRE.

Check out highlights from Regency Bar and Lounge’s New Menu Launch here:

https://youtube.com/shorts/qz2tZEYpSAw?feature=share

Crowd fave Cocktails at the New Menu Launch last Tuesday were the Elderflower Martini and Melon Surprise pictured with me on this cover.

If Rum Cream is your thing, feel free to get Drunk In Love, but it’s Bittersweet for Campari lovers. White Rum? Is it a Martini? No, it’s an uncoventional Rum Fire based Classic Daiquiri. That will do it. I liked it! The white rum was not overpowering at all. There are more to come today too!

Oh and fret not, with Endless Cocktails you are encouraged to Drink Responsibly. The New Menu items with tasty Apps and Dinner dishes made with love will soak it all up.

Lobster Bruschettas

Best Broccoli I’ve ever had due to a tasty vinaigrette and a crispy cashew crunch.
The Surf & Turf and Chicken Sliders and both the Lobster and Chicken Bruschettas were highlights for me, bringing the right amount of spice. Those slider buns were soft and fresh and the meat was tender and well seasoned. #SugaSnaps

The Shrimp Penne can’t lose with the Pasta lovers and of course, their Signature Lobster Mac-n-Cheese is back to call your name with a little more love. So creamy!

Lobster Mac-n-Cheese

Curry Goat Rice Balls ?! Different, but Delish.and the Chocolate Mousse Cake was definitely worth the calories.

Chocolate Mousse Cake

Go check out Regency Bar and Lounge & have a Great Weekend! Cheers!
