Yashema was our courteous server. She took care of us well and was excited to share that our Dessert’s cream wasn’t as calorific because, fun fact: It was Yam Cream! Who would have thought?!
As I sipped my Manhattan, we enjoyed,
– Jerk Beef Kofta – Well seasoned, Flavourful – Caesar Caprese – Delish! Especially for a Salad – Petite Fillet (Temp – MR) – Perfection – Pan Seared Lamb Farci (Temp-MR)- Perfection – Bread Pudding with Yellow Yam Cream! I still love my Bread Pudding fluffier with a crumble on top, but this was uniquely tasteful
Would love to people-watch more Diners though, so head to The New Cellar 8 and check it out! Their Menu is online. Looking forward to returning and having the Sweet Potato Crusted Salmon and I would love them to consider putting their NYE Special of Ribeye Steak on the menu for the Steak Lovers.
Have a Great Weekend!
XoXo, Suga

Mr. Suga was treated for his Birthday on December 3 and we did well. A menu with a wide variety of options, but our Waitress was a great guide. The Indian spices shone throughout the Chicken and Mutton dishes as they should and the Fried rice and Naan did their duty to provide the perfect balance. Then of course a unique, authentic Indian Dessert to top it all off for Birthdays! Go and then you’ll know 😉
It was just the two of us, but the recommended Tava Veg Combo Platter was a winner. It had Veg Spring rolls, Onion Bhaji, Cheese chutney bombs and tandoori stuffed mushrooms.
Looking to close out 2024 in fine dining style or looking forward to a new spot in the New Year? Check out Tava Indian. #SugaEndorsed

The Building we knew as The Wexford Hotel on Gloucester Avenue in Montego Bay, has been fully refurbished and rebranded to Hotel 39!
The boutique Hotel 39 (Ig: @hotel39jamaica) has adequate parking, 82 rooms with its rooftop pool and nearby access to the beach, being located on Montego Bay’s famous Hip Strip.
Their Restaurant is already #SugaEndorsed after our visit two weeks ago, well taken care of by our Waitress, Caleisha. Seeing a professional, young lady so polite, attentive and genuinely happy doing her job in the hospitality and service industry was absolutely refreshing. After a long day, we truly appreciated her stellar service and kudos to the Chef for making my Pasta healthy, yet delicious, tossed in a light sauce just the way I like it.
Cocktail options seemed limited at the Bar, but the Bartender did no wrong with my Whiskey Sour.
We’re happy to have Hotel 39 back and we look forward to revisiting soon!
XoXo, Suga [Date of Visit: Saturday, October 26, 2024]
Up Next for Suga Lifestyle!
As Suga Lifestyle looks forward to ending the year even stronger than how we started, please open your Calendars and SAVE THE DATES!
Stay tuned for more details.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Now remember I may be many things including a Fitness expert, but I am a Radiographer first, that still performs Mammograms and I will share a quick story.
I have a cousin who called me years ago very concerned about a lump in her left breast that she felt when she was drying off, coming out of the shower. Her Mom died from Breast Cancer, so there’s a family history. I told her doing a Mammogram as soon as possible was the first step. She did it, read me the report and before doing the suggested biopsy I told her to prepare herself, because based on how the lump was described with irregular, asymmetric, undefined edges etc., it was likely to be cancer. I also told her she had to adjust her lifestyle IMMEDIATELY. No Alcohol, No Meats, No sugars and she complied, going Vegetarian as Breast Cancer was confirmed with the biopsy and her journey to beating Breast Cancer began, which she did well. She was almost 50 at the time and after her Mastectomy, removing the left breast, she came out in high spirits, telling jokes, hardly in any pain… Even later down the road serving her friends breakfast SHE cooked after Chemo. Her roommate though, when she did the Mastectomy, was much younger for the same surgery, probably in her thirties. Her family brought her fast food before the surgery and she said that was her regular diet. Made her happy. After the surgery she was in excruciating pain and crying for hours. We said to ourselves, wow, diet must have had a significant impact.
Here are Foods to Have and Foods to Avoid:
Foods to Have: Citrus fruits, berries, grapes Leafy green vegetables such as kale, arugula, spinach; other vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, and broccoli Fatty fish like Salmon Fermented foods like Yogurt, Kimchi Beans Herbs and spices e.g. oregano Whole grains and walnuts
Foods to Avoid: Fast food Alcohol Fried foods Processed meats Added sugars Refined carbs
I will leave you to keep in mind that many factors are associated with Breast Cancer development. So while improving your diet can improve your overall health and reduce your cancer risk and pain during recovery, it is only one piece of the puzzle.
You still need to do annual Breast Cancer screenings like Mammograms and your manual checks, standing AND laying down. Early Detection Saves Lives.
