Suga closed out 2020 at Offshore Seafood Lounge, then went to Negril’s shores and took a look back at 2020!
Offshore Seafood Lounge served up delicious meals with great music and polite, attentive staff as usual.

But why look back to 2020? Because some of us made it through! Please watch highlights of Suga Lifestyle’s 2020 Journey. I am grateful for all who have been a part of it.
I know everyone may not be able to say the same, but I am so thankful for creating and being given opportunities to navigate through 2020. It wasn’t easy and even more effort will be required for 2021. Let’s all look forward to a NEW and hopefully Happier Year! Blessings & 💖 from Suga!

On Christmas Eve we visited the new Trio Grill Wine Bar on 64 Hope Road. You would never believe Kingston’s newest Restaurant, Lounge and Bar was the original home of Chilitos. They surely did a lot with the place, including a visible private lounge that hosted a Birthday party.
Great ambience and I loved the friendly, attentive, festive mood of the staff.
We thought based on our wait, Chef Haleem Card went to hunt and kill the Lamb, but our dishes were superb upon arrival and thankfully worth the wait.
We had tasty Calamari and Crab Cakes for starters, followed by a delish Surf and Turf with my Hubby, Randy’s Steak cooked to order, medium rare and sizeable juicy, tender Lamb Chops.#SugaSnaps Chef Card.
Surf and Turf served with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.Lamb Chops served with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
I’m looking forward to returning to try those signature jumbo Prawns.

Suga with KD from Calabash Itals Rastarant in Ocho Rios on Friday, December 4, 2020
Cutting it close to curfew a few weeks ago in Ocho Rios, on Friday, December 4, 2020, Calabash Itals Rastarant came to the rescue with not only fast, but healthy Vegetarian food.
They gave us eco-friendly takeaway boxes filled to capacity that we could not even finish.
We had their Curried Chunks and Bean Stew. Flavourful and Delicious. Truly ital food that hit the spot.

After 3 years, I finally made it. Imagine it took a German friend visiting Jamaica to tell me about RafJam Bread and Breakfast. Then I was reminded about it by Jamaica’s 1st Blue Mountain Coffee Festival a bit over 2 years ago when they drafted their Culinary trail and posted signs all along the way. Look out for them!
RafJam Bread and Breakfast is nestled in Red Light District, Irish Town, also known as Backpacker District. It’s the Right turn after Craighton Estate, i.e. the 2nd Right turn after Cafe Blue. When you make that right turn leading downhill to RafJam, follow the signs and beware that the road is a bit ‘Raf’. But difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations right?! Indeed it did.
My husband, Randy and I, parked walking distance away so we wouldn’t block in anyone and arrived at the quaintest house tucked away in the Blue Mountains. We were greeted by owner, Susan, telling us immediately what was for Breakfast as if she was welcoming us home from a long trip on the road. It is indeed her home. Susan inherited her parent’s house and decided to transform the lush, tropical paradise into a magnificent Blue Mountain getaway.
I was initially disappointed that we missed out on the Ackee & Callaloo, leaving limited choices of Salt Mackerel or Saltfish and Baked Beans, but I was prepared for simple, Jamaican cuisine. We both ordered the Salt Mackerel.
We sat outdoors with an instant reminder of how beautiful Jamaica is. We overlooked, lush, green vegetation by a river and small waterfall. Tropical Paradise. Sweet Jamaica. Jamaica Land We Love.
Randy Burgess and Gabrielle Burgess, Owners of Suga Lifestyle.
Our Breakfast arrived and it was far from simple. It was freshly cooked, homemade, farm to table goodness! Salt Mackerel with boiled food to equip you to make a small climb up to see their 15-ft waterfall, and a side of fresh watermelon.
It was cold, but we enjoyed the freshwater river pools, didn’t take the clean, fresh air for granted and had a few drinks from their Tiki Bar before we headed back downhill to make curfew.

Upon leaving we heard them telling a few European visitors what was for Lunch, a more expanded menu, with more Jamaican goodness. We were very tempted to stay, so will return to RafJam, hopefully one day soon. #SugaEndorsed

Seating is in open air by wooden tables with the most adorable Cacti centre pieces.
The Staff is extremely courteous and attentive.
I loved that their menu is posted on their Instagram page, so I knew what I was going to order before I got there and I didn’t have to handle the menu.
They serve Coffee Beverages, Smoothies, Traditional Eggs, Pancakes, Waffles, Omelettes, Bagel Sandwiches, Croissants, Paninis, Crepes, Wraps, Pastries and more.
They have options for Lunch too such as Soup, Salad, their Signature Burger and Pizza.

I had the Trotter Passport with a serving of Eggs, Bacon and Pancakes with homemade Blueberry topping ($1050JMD +tx & 10% gratuity).
My husband, Randy had the Smoked Salmon Omelette ($950JMD +tx & 10% gratuity).
Presentation was excellent with a more than satisfactory serving size and most importantly, Breakfast tasted great! Eggs my way, over easy and fluffy pancakes. The service could have been a little quicker with us alone there, but I saw and appreciated that everything was hot and freshly made.
Randy had 100% Blue Mountain Coffee ($400JMD) and I enjoyed my French Vanilla Frappe ($600JMD).
Their Dessert counter is also quite eye-catching. I was full, Randy had their Bailey’s Cheesecake that sas decent.
We were offered a complimentary glass of wine. It was 10am but Why not?! They have other alcoholic options too.

Suga Taster, Jody Dixon at Casta’s Rum Bar in Washinton, DC a few weeks ago.
Open for just over a year now, Casta’s Rum Bar has racked up street credit for not only being Washington DC’s Best Cuban Rum Bar, but one of the hottest Bars in DC!
Suga cannot wait to travel again and hit this spot. Soooo jealous of Suga Taster, Jody Dixon! She visited a few weeks ago with friends and said her smiles were courtesy of Passionfruit and Tequila!
Check out the juicy, salivating Dishes and refreshing Cocktails that she and her friends enjoyed here!
The Menu is online! If you’re in DC, this looks like a spot to hit for sure!
