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

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!

💖Suga

Good Morning from the New Cafe Dolce !

Café hop with me 😁🧋

Cafe Dolce (Ig: @cafedolce) now has another location in Progressive Plaza, Liguanea!

I will give them a chance to get up to speed with their usual service time, but I got my expected standard of high quality for my choices on the menu. They have lots of healthy choices too!

This time I chose the grilled Chicken Pesto Panini with a Matcha Green Tea Latte (+almond milk).

It’s a cool workspace too. Go visit the new Cafe Dolce soon and have a great day!

XoXo,

#tbt to Skipping Breakfast & Having Brunch Danya’s Coffee Barrel!

Just too much niceness on Danya’s Coffee Barrel’s (Ig: @danyascoffeebarrel) menu though! It was hard to choose. So I skipped breakfast and made room for brunch 3 Saturdays ago.

Saturday?! Yes. If you don’t work or go downtown during the week, Danya’s is usually open on the last Saturday of every month.

They are located across from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade by the Grace Kennedy building and you can use their parking.

I had the Smoked Marlin Bagel and Ackee Sandwich that had Plantain! Absolutely delicious + great Coffee. Yes, I love Cafes.
Maybe I will feature more this week, but in the mean time, check out Danya’s Coffee Barrel! You can dine, pick up or get it delivered. Danya’s continues to be #SugaEndorsed.

Suga Finds the Key to the Pie at Blue Skies Beach Resort!

Fairly new from welcoming first guests last year and published earlier this year by The Jamaica Observer, we learnt that US civil rights attorney, Dana Kurtz opened Blue Skies Beach Resort (Ig: @blueskiesbeachresort) and realised her dream. This led to her also driving the dreams of aspiring Jamaican Chefs.

I can appreciate the old authenticity of shacks and huts on Negril beach, but appreciate modernizing it even more. Negril is one of the top tourist destinations in the world and we should move with the times and strive to keep it as such.

If strolling on Negril’s 7 mile beach, you cannot miss the Blue Skies Beach Resort. Bright blue and new furnishings on its wooden sea deck with not one, but 2 bars and blazing music. They also advertised having the best Coffee on the beach, but we were on a Rum run.

Fast forward to night time, we approached from Norman Manley Boulevard where they have a bit of construction happening for greater things to come. There was a Baby Shower happening on the top deck, but we were still able to get suitable parking.

With the event happening, more staff should have been on deck (literally) that night, but Chef Sanika Clarke picked up double duty and greeted us like guests to her own home. She took our order and still attended to us even when our server, Veronica introduced herself to us mid-service. Veronica was quite hospitable as well.

Blue Skies Beach Resort focuses on Jamaican cuisine, but had International and Italian options as well.
We enjoyed the enhanced flavours of each dish by local herbs, spices and fresh farm veggies, topped off by freshly made, scrumptious dessert made by Chef Sanika herself.

🍴Spicy Crayfish soup (spicy and tasty!)
🍴Chicken soup (tasty!)

🍴Fried Farm Fresh Okra (delish!)


🍴Roasted Conch (yum, nom nom!)
🍴Oxtail (a bit too heavy on the spices & herbs, but still tasty)
🍴Bread Pudding (the Rum Caramel sauce was 🔥)
🍴Key Lime Pie (Perfection👌🏾👏🏾)

Blue Skies Beach Resort is definitely #SugaEndorsed.

Call Suga. I Found Some Good Oxtail on Negril Beach!

Suga dining seaside by Indies 957 at White Sands Negril last Saturday, June 11, 2022.

It just took a walk on Negril beach to find some fairly new spots with good, Jamaican food.

Indies957 at White Sands Negril (Ig:@whitesandsnegril) is the spot for Oxtail!

Control yourself with portions and save space for dinner😀

Oxtail with rice and peas and raw veggies.

The right balance in seasoning, but also a good cut of Oxtail! Tender to the bone. Cut and slide 👌🏾

Indies 957 is a neat spot for Lunch with a view of the Caribbean sea from up top and courteous, down to earth staff.

You can check out Indies 957 at White Sands Negril for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. #SugaEndorsed

Suga’s Comments: 

Cafe Etal, one of the additions to the fairly new Knutsord Express Terminal Building in Drax Hall, Ocho Rios is not only a convenient stop, but a comfy stop.

You can choose to sit indoors or outdoors with a view of the greenery and road above the Café, while you stop for Breakfast or Lunch and Coffee your way.

We were welcomed pleasantly and received great service.

We had Eggs over easy with French Toast, Bacon and Chicken sausage with Coffee. I had a customized, skinny Frappé. They had almond milk and splenda to substitute their milk and sweeteners. No whipped cream.

Persons who take the Knutsford can order before the bus makes a quick stop or drop off there. The Café and facilities are clean, the menu has a variety of affordable options and the food is tasty. Check out Cafe Etal today. #SugaEndorsed
