Cute African Restaurant Spot in Mobay If You Want Different! 9JaJam!

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 Rice with their Grilled 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 !

What’s for Breakfast?! Time to Revisit Trotter’s Cafe!

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.

Fling Back Friday to Restaurant Week Ja At One Of Our Faves Mystic Thai!

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

Did You See the New Review?! Visit Kingston’s Own Negril on the Hill!

Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga of Suga Lifestyle with Suga Taster, Tennyson Arnold and Kamila’s Kitchen, Kamila McDonald on October 13, 2022 at Kamila’s Kitchen by Skyline Levels, Jack’s Hill.

Skyline Levels, Jacks Hill is now the home of Kamila’s Kitchen (Ig: @kamilaskitchen_ja)!

Check out highlights from Suga’s ‘Visit Kingston’s own Negril on the Hill! Thank Jah It’s Friday!’ Visit and Promo here:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=FwkIiybzyAc&feature=share

Kamila’s Kitchen has been in the works for some time now, but officially opened in April of this year, with Kamila McDonald picking up where her parents left off, taking full advantage of the fact that Vegetarian and Vegan Food is now trending.

There IS a McDonald Farm, but not an old one. 🙂 It’s growing with the Kitchen and meals are Farm to Fork.

This was great news for me because whenever I wanted to detox, no meat & no sweet for a week, but also avoid tasteless Vegetarian, I could order meals from Kamila’s Kitchen to be delivered to my doorstep. Delicious, flavourful, V-Ital, filling food. My fave? The Trinity Glow bowl with Sesame-Cauliflower, BBQ Veggie Bounce, Roasted chickpeas on a bed of mixed greens with Quinoa. Yum!

Kamila’s fave is the new loaded Nachos. Eye-catching and spicy! Jalapeños with Walnut Meat and more?! I can’t believe it’s not Beef!

Loaded Nachos

The crowd faves? Everything, but the Black and Boasie Burger with airfried breadfruit chips is always a hit, the Jerkshroom Wrap and of course the new loaded Nachos.

Jerkshroom Wrap

A bit over a month ago, Suga Taster, Tennyson and I headed up to Skyline Levels and had a full, conscience free spread including Skyline Sushi (I can’t believe it’s not Eel!) topped off with ‘Cheesecake’. They make their own cheese too. #SugaSnaps

Skyline Sushi

Have Kamila’s Kitchen excite you with food, flavours, textures and sauces that are homemade, farm to fork and in line with what your body needs!

Water is life, but Natural juices are also available and our good ol’ Jamaican Beers.

Kamila’s Kitchen is sure to be on the map soon for every backpacker and our own locals to escape to a different side of the Hills, greeted with tables adorned with fabrics from Tanzania. Chase the sunset and embrace captivating views.

Check out Thank Jah It’s Friday from 4PM – 10:30PM for a cool, chilly night under the stars and live Music on some of their Saturday nights.

V-Ital Food, Good Music and Good Vibes. Jamaica is not a real place. It’s an Experience. Head to Kamila’s Kitchen at Skyline Levels where you can eat healthy and guilt free, living a rough life easy. Balance and Levels! Kamila’s Kitchen is #SugaEndorsed.
