We made reservations last Sunday for 11:15AM (Although Suga got there closer to Noon :)).
I joined my ladies when they were finishing their Appetizers…Calamari, no surprise there.

I had given them my order already, so it would arrive with theirs. I was thankful for the healthy options that Broken Plate continue to provide. Fulljoyed My stacked plate of Octopus Avocado Toast made with Coconut Avocado Bread as the base. It was so moist and wholesome! The Short Rib and Steak and Egg Sandwiches didn’t look filling, but the Southern Chicken & Waffle was another winner.

Did you see that Matcha Cake?! Yum!

It was an unusual day for The Bartender to be on his own, but our drinks arrived in adequate time and thankfully we left just as Brunch became Buzzier closer to 2pm. I only ask that light music be played in the background.

The staff was attentive throughout, kept us updated on our orders and we had a great afternoon catching up with each other, leaving satisfied.

A New Brunch menu is offered each week. Love that. RSVP ONLY.

Sensational Memories of Summerhouse in Kingston with A Yuletide Grill!

by Culinary ExperiencesRestaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

Flingback Friday #fbf to Memories of Summerhouse in Kingston with A Yuletide Grill! #sensational

Check out Suga Lifestyle’s video highlights here:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1JtlSuOI3M/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Where are you dining this weekend? It’s our first Post Covid Christmas and everyone is busy, out and about!

My Christmas dining experience was made when one of our Faves, Summerhouse located in Harmony Hall, Ocho Rios came to Kingston last weekend with a Yuletide Grill Prix Fixe Menu at 10 West Kings House Road.

With visiting Chef Bill Clark (Ig: @frombilClark) joining them in the kitchen, Appetizers and mains rolled out in a timely manner and service was excellent, as Beverages flowed as well.

Ordering their Saltfish Fritters was a must! They are like dumplings! Their Smoked Marlin Dip with homemade chips, a treat as well.

Their Charred Drunken Beef was perfection and indeed left me with a drunken feeling of satisfaction all evening.

Hubby, Randy enjoyed the Grilled Lobster with scotch bonnet sambal, coconut, saffron and turmeric. I meaaan, when he hardly wants to give me a 2nd bite, you know it’s fantastic.

The sides of Kale and Roast Pumpkin salads were absolutely delightful. Not sure how the misfit of Fries emerged, but looks like we missed out on the Holiday Fattoush Crispy Bread. We had no space for it anyhow.

A mouthwatering Brownie with a taste of Coffee Ice cream was the Finale to our feast and a fabulous Sunday leading up to Christmas.

TGIF! Where are you Brunching this Weekend? Sending Love from PRESS Red Hills!

by FoodpornRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot
Randy and Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle at PRESS Cafe, RHR Business Centre on Sunday, September 3, 2023.

If you don’t know by now, PRESS Cafe (Ig: @pressshopco) is one of Suga’s favourite spots.

Great service and consistency with good food quality and I love a place that’s always CLEAN.

They cater to Vegans and if you haven’t tried Brunch yet at their 76 RHR Business Centre location by Red Hills Road, give it a go!

I suggest calling ahead. The food is prepared fresh, so done to order and you can dine in a comfy environment.

Lots of parking available too.

Looking forward to the new Cocktail menu though, because Suga Loves her Cocktails.

Have a Great Weekend!

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

by Brand JamaicaRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

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!

by Brand JamaicaRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot
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.

Guava BBQ Rum Ribs

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
