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!

TGIF! We are Proud Branson Centre Entrepreneurs!

Greetings Suga Fam! I know you haven’t received Suga Mail in a few days, but some unexpected work had to be done to the website and we have been busy too!

Not to worry, if you are not on instagram, we will fill you in on what you’ve missed. So check your mail this weekend!

So, FYI, Suga & hubby, Randy graduated yesterday after a hardcore 3-month Business Accelerator Journey ?

Randolph and Gabrielle Burgess, Owners of Suga Lifestyle

Yesterday was not only Graduation Day, but Pitch Day ?

Lesson relearnt yesterday:
It’s not about how you start, it’s how you finish. Get your ‘ish’ together and FINISH STRONG.

Thanks so much to my Clare (especially for my pep talk??), sweet Yvonne and the rest of the Branson Centre (Ig: @bransoncentrecaribbean) team for believing in us and guiding us through. It truly takes a Village.

Team Suga showed Resilience yesterday and we said screw it, let’s do it!

Thanks to Randy for telling me to just be myself and of course, we couldn’t have done it without our new family, the rest of our fantastic cohort and their words of encouragement, cheering us on. We are in this together.

XoXo, Suga

Quick, Pick Up Family Spot for some Tasty, Filling Food!

Too lazy to cook for the family or need a quick, affordable pick me up? Jungle Fiah Jamaica (Ig: @junglefiahja) is the spot!

They have 4 locations and deliver, but Suga stopped by the Brunswick, Spanish Town location a few Sundays ago on the way in from St. Mary.

They have a menu to order from with light food such as Sandwiches, Chicken, Fries etc., but their Buffet offering is fantastic!
Pick, choose and refuse and fill your own box, but know that it will be weighed afterwards.

Two full boxes came to J$2700 with a variety of meats and sides, including Curried, Baked & Sweet & Sour Chicken + more, rice and peas, some big big slices of plantain and don’t forget the vegetables.

They have friendly staff and comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Jungle Fiah Jamaica is #SugaEndorsed.

Have a great day now!

XoXo, Suga

TGIF to this Wagyu Steak from Steak House on the Verandah!

It was amazing! Dream about it until after the Devon House construction finishes though. Sorrrry, they are temporarily closed, renovating the dining and bar areas in the mean time. So until then!

Enjoy the weekend!

Foodies! Do You Know this Seaside Gem in St. Ann’s Bay?

Good Morning Suga Fam! I’m awake! The Coffee has opened my eyes😀

Making your way off or towards the AGR Byfield Highway and need to make a stop for some good ol’ Jamaican cuisine?

Stop by the The Roxborough Bar and Grill (Ig: @_theroxborough)! They are open EVERYDAY for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Parking is adequate and the staff are quite hospitable.

Di Ackee did sweet mi and di family did love di Run Down. Breakfast came out quickly too.

I hope it’s the same for Lunch and Dinner, especially if you get Seafood.
If you feel stranded and hungry, I got you.

TGIF to a Rooftop Lunch by the Waterfront with the Ladies!

Gabrielle Burgess of Suga Lifestyle with friends Kesha Gabbidon, Tiffany Simmonds and Gillian Jackson.

Last Sunday, us Ladies swapped Kitchen Aprons for chic tops & Sunday dresses to head to a late lunch at the new ROK Hotel Kingston (Ig: @rokhotelkingston) in downtown Kingston.

Very much like downtown Miami, it’s paid Parking.

Tasteful, modern decor with furniture and art from local artists adorned their lobby and walls as we headed up to the Rokstone Grill.

The breezy seating area with a spectacular view of the waterfront was spacious with comfortable options and we were greeted pleasantly and seated immediately.

Be conscious of dress/skirt as well as hairstyle choices ladies.

Our waitress was none other than the bright and charismatic, Sasheni! You better ask for her!

She took us through that menu like the grill had been opened for a decade. Her suggestions were on point too (Hint Hint).
Suga has received quite a bit of feedback before deciding to visit. The fine dining restaurant would not be open until 6pm, but would I put on my Sunday dress, let down my hair and head to this new rooftop grill with jazzy music and order a Burger? Let’s be a bit more adventurous when we go out and try new places Suga fam.

We kicked things off with Passion Coconut Seafood Ceviche, Crispy Calamari and Baby Greens with Granny Smith Apples.

Coconut Seafood Ceviche

The Ceviche needed to be complemented with something like a Pico de Gallo for added flavour and colour on the dish.

Crispy Calamari

The Calamari was a bit on the salty side and we had to ask for the passion fruit-thyme vinaigrette, which was supposed to be drizzled over the Baby Green salad. Then it was good to go. Quite a large serving too.

Baby Greens with Granny Smith Apples

Cocktails arrived and they were fantastic. Especially the ‘Rebirth of Kingston’, similar to a sangria, but with rum.

‘Rebirth of Kingston’ Cocktail

Our mains arrived in covered bowls to withstand the breezy elements of the rooftop. We enjoyed the Pimento Grilled Chicken and Guava BBQ Rum Ribs accompanied by provided Walkerswood pepper sauces. The Ribs didn’t slide off the bone, but they were still tender and juicy.

We were very tempted to have the Dragon Stout Brownie as the finale, but Sash sold us on the Mango Cheesecake that was not presented as your typical Cheesecake slice. Kudos to her, it was fantastic! I’m still going back for that Brownie though.

Mango Cheesecake

Lovely day out Suga Fam. I advise you to participate in the rebuild of downtown Kingston. But of course, you need to carry a little extra dues. Enjoy the weekend!

XoXo,
💖Suga
