Suga visited Pho Today in New Jersey during the holiday season and it was a refreshing change for the palate.
My cousin and I enjoyed the Goi Chon Tom (Shrimp Summer roll), where there were healthier Vegetable & Avocado options as well.
Then we had the Pho Filet Mignon, with added vegetable options. It was rich with flavours and authentic. I love me some lemongrass!

Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga with friend, Diane Baboolal at Byblos Restaurant on December 17, 2021.
Byblos Miami is finally checked off Suga’s list and worth it!
I experienced a marriage of Eastern Mediterranean cuisine with strong influences from both traditional and local ingredients Byblos !
Watch “Byblos for Mediterranean in Miami!” on YouTube here:

You just got to love servers that know the menu inside out with the best suggestions too!
The Duck Kibbeh’s flavours are out of this world, the roasted pine nuts add a tasty, fun crunch to the Hummus Royale, the Black Truffle is the way you should do rice all the time with flavours complementing each other and so outside of the box. Lastly, the roasted Lamb Shoulder melts in your mouth and although I prefer the original version, they certainly do Baklava with a twist.

Charred Octopus with Romesco sauce and roasted Marcona Almonds. (US$22)
Throwback to probably the best Octopus I’ve ever had, 3 Thursdays ago!
Suga had a GNO at Council Oak Steaks & Seafood, a staple of the renewed Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida.
The menu offers prime cuts of beef, signature raw bar & delectable seafood selections, and more. I heard of their state-of-the-art wood fire grills and Josper coal ovens and was eager to try their Lamb Chops, but they were unavailable that night.
So I had the most delish Charred Octopus as a starter with Romesco sauce and roasted Marcona Almonds. Perfectly grilled. Tender, succulent, with a crispy outside and slightly smoky flavour from the wood fire grill.
I then enjoyed the Parmesan crusted Salmon, complemented by a tasty Beurre Blanc sauce with a glass of vino.

Excellent service and food, accompanied by live entertainment. Their menu has high quality options that are value for your money.
**Reservations recommended** Council Oak Steaks & Seafood is #SugaEndorsed.

When I returned to the rock last week, I was so excited to receive my awaiting Christmas gifts!
My ChelleMac Bag (Ig: @chellemacbags) that hubby knew I had my eyes on is sooo fab. The attached mini $ purse is so convenient too, since I no longer carry a purse around with Covid. Great accessory while in my Jamaica Nice (Ig: @yesjamaicanice) Tank, also adorned in my Jamaican made bamboo wooden JIANBE (Ig: @jianbe_shop) Watch, topped off by the euphoric feeling of getting a fresh Mani Pedi from my favourite Spa in Kingston, the White Orchid Spa at The Jamaica Pegasus (Ig: @jamaicapegasus) after returning from the cold.
Yes. Jamaica Nice!

I will admit, that’s not Apple juice. It’s Scotch on the rocks. I think it is ok to bring a little vacay or holiday spirit back to work. Let’s be real, some of us think it’s 2020 all over again and need a strong one. Let’s try not to think that way though.
Of course numbers will sky rocket for January. Try to ignore it. We just concluded the biggest holiday of each year with lots of travelers. Continue to wear your mask and sanitize. Arrange to get your booster if you haven’t yet and remember that we can’t put our lives on hold until 2025 or however long this will last. You will be left behind. Notice I haven’t mentioned what ‘this’ is. We are moving forward.
For those of you like me with a never ending ‘To Do’ List. Let’s not obsess over it. As you check things off, more things will naturally replace them. Get to it when you can. Be confident you are doing your best.
Oh and I really hope they keep the kids in school. Cheers to Monday and have a great, productive week! 🥂
