We visited 9JaJam African Restaurant (Ig: @9jajam) last Saturday. It is an African Restaurant nestled in the corner of Bhavela Business Park in Ironshore, Montego Bay.
Simple-chic, modern décor and we were greeted by African owners adorned in eye-catching, African printed garments. Of course I enjoyed the background music. Afro beats!
They have a digital menu that is easy to choose from. Ensure they understand that you would like your food plated, even if dining :/ and prepare for a little wait. We didn’t mind since we weren’t starving and we love freshly prepared food.
I enjoyed the African Fried Ricewith theirGrilled Suya Chicken and I also tried the Jollof Spagetti with Grilled Suya Chicken, before I bagged it to-go.
I believe, the tasty flavour of their herbs and a touch of spice that complemented my dishes is their signature.
Hubby, Randy’s dish on the other hand was very spicy yet delicious, Eforiro Soup, with a side of Fufu to cool it down. He was given water to wash his hands before having it too. Nice touch.
Spicy, Tasty, Filling Food! Check out 9JaJam African Restaurant !

Breakfast at Trotter’s Cafe (Ig: @trotterscafeja) is still good.
We had the Trotter Passport with fluffy Waffles, Eggs my way and Bacon + a tasty Smoked Salmon Omelette with Iced Coffee (added Almond milk only) for me and Black Coffee for Hubby.
Service time could be a bit quicker, but staff were attentive and the ambience is pretty chill while you wait.
Go check them out or revisit if you haven’t been in a while like us. Parking is adequate.

With a quick road trip out of town to Montego Bay last Saturday for business, Mustic Thai (Ig: @mystic_thai_jamaica) was a must stop for me and hubby, Randy.
We didn’t order from their regular menu as their Restaurant week menu was tempting enough and we wanted to participate.
Staff were courteous and Service was smooth as usual.
Randy started off with the marinated shallow fried Shrimp tossed in Basil Chilli Garlic sauce. The Shrimps were plump, tasty, with a tempered heat balanced out with herbs.
I enjoyed the juicy, tender, spicy honey glazed Pork belly Skewers.
Our Mains were the usual authentic Asian and satisfying high quality dishes enhanced by their Curry and Sauce.
I had the steamed Fish Fillet with quinoa and a yellow curry instead of the lemon chilli cilantro sauce and Randy had the Five Spice Chicken with spicy plum sauce, greens and spicy, Thai herbed fried rice.
Dessert was pleasantly interesting. Cinnamon flavoured Grilled Pineapple with homemade Coconut & Jaggery Ice Cream. Delish! #SugaSnaps
Opening a Restaurant in Kingston is always a challenge, but no matter the delay, whenever it happens, we are ready. Cheers to a consistently high standard of service, ethnic cuisine and comfort. #SugaEndorsed
