TGIF was an understatement. Thank you Rainforest Caribbean and the Award-Winning Chef Volae Williams and his team at ROK Hotel Kingston by the ROKStone Grill for a spectacular Seafood Buffet Experience spanning about 7 stations.

Jerked Octopus with scotch bonnet citrus herbed butter


– My targeted, ‘meaty’ Jerked Octopus with adequate heat from scotch bonnet citrus herbed butter
– Hubby’s fave, Ceviche by the Raw Bar was on point
– Enjoyable selection of traditional and Jamaican rolls by the Sushi and Nigiri station
– The Mixed Seafood Pasta! I’m gonna tell you about it!
– The Strawberry Macaroons and rich Chocolate Log Cake were perfection. Definitely worth the calories.

Chef Volae told Suga they made a special effort to bring out the taste of the flavour of Rainforest Caribbean’s Seafood and of course you can’t do that by piling on a sauce. So hubby and I definitely appreciated their mixed seafood tossed in fettuccine with sundried tomatoes in a very light Mondavi Wine, butter and garlic sauce. Surely the Fit Happens with Gabby way. Nailed it!

All you can eat for J$10,000 with a live band and wait staff that we gave an A for effort. This experience was definitely value for money, especially as we continuously strive to revive Downtown, Kingston.

Same time, same place each month Chef Volae, ROK Hotel Kingston and Rainforest Caribbean? We’ll see!

XoXo,
Suga

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

by Restaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

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.

On January 12, 2019, the Rotaract Club of New Kingston started the new year the right way. They coordinated a Treat for the Homeless at the Marie Atkins Night Shelter on Hanover Street, Downtown, Kingston.

Suga Lifestyle was more than happy to be a sponsor for the event, along with Jamaica Producers, Kirk Distributors Ltd., Cari-Med Ltd., Best Dressed Jamaica Ltd. and Refresh Beauty Soap.

I saw the event through and it was a success once again this year. Persons that lived at the home along with other members of the surrounding community, came out in their numbers to receive various services and items offered such as Medical checks, Dental and Cleaning checks, HIV Screening, Personal Grooming, Eye screening by the Lions Club, Canned Food and Clothing Donations.

Suga was delegated the task of adding a personal touch to speak to attendees about proper Nutrition. Their options may have been limited, but points made by conversations with several of them were of great help. For instance, to choose boiled ground provisions instead of rice and peas or plain rice and to drink water instead of sugary, fruit punch or fruit juices.

TGIF to this Creamy Seafood Cheese Tortellini!

Suga’s Seafood Cheese Tortellini (Cheese filled Pasta with Lobster, Shrimp, Calamari, Mussels, Conch and Octopus tossed in a creamy seafood sauce from Ribbiz Ocean Lounge last Saturday, January 5, 2018.

TGIF to this Seafood Cheese Tortellini! Last Saturday I indulged in a creamy, cheesy Seafood Pasta from Ribbiz Ocean Lounge. The Lobster that topped it all off was a bit cold, but other than that, it was quite scrumptious and enjoyable. I wish I could say the same about the limited parking options and intolerable service. My experience was unreviewable. I will not be returning to that location, but the Seafood Cheese Tortellini is on the menu at Ribbiz Ultra Lounge in Loshusan Centre, Barbican! Go get it there!

Have a great weekend!
