#tbt to Easter 2018 at Jakes, Treasure Beach to Breathing in Vitamin Sea and being Carefree.
It’s so hard to keep yourself in check with so much going on in the World right now. You need to constantly Re-evaluate, Reassess, Navigate, Pivot, Cartwheel, whatever. Do what you need to do to get through. But ensure you get through on top. While you do, Wear a Mask, Be Wise and Sanitise.

#fbf to rocking my Fabhijabeez Headband for Girls Night Out, because tonight I will be #InsideInside. (L-R: Gillian Jackson, Tiffany Simmonds, Gabrielle Burgess a.k.a Suga)
I FINALLY got handmade Headbands delivered from Fabhijabeez operating from Spanish Town. It’s been on my wish list for so long. I am happy I joined the Summer buzz and copped their New fave, Olivia Knot. It accentuated my high bun and I was able to wear a simple top because it uplifted my entire look. At least I felt like it did and that’s what is important ☺ï¸
Fabhijabeez also has Turbans that create wonders on a bad hair day, Scarves and Durags, Scrunchies & more, ALL at reasonable prices!
If you want a variety of their items in one, they now have Glam and Treat Packages. Check out @fabhijabeez today! I can’t wait to wear the others ðŸ˜ðŸ’–
Cheers to the Weekend, Stay Safe and Stay Inside Suga Bears!
Suga enjoyed her Piña Colada at the Monte Carlo Gaming Lounge Casino Bar, Terra Nova All Suite Hotel 2 weeks ago.

It’s been a long time coming, but I finally got to revisit Seaside Dutchie over Independence weekend. The Service was even better and faster this time. The Appetizers were just as tasty and the Main was just as delicious. Value for money once again. I keep missing out on their Bread Pudding though!
Johnny Be Good ($700JMD) – Deep fried Johnny Cakes stuffed with Spicy Shrimp and Callaloo with Escovitched MayonnaiseSaltfish Fritters ($700JMD) – Priory crispy Conch FrittersRoasted Fish (Price based on the size of the Fish and served with your choice of sides)
Check out Seaside Dutchie’s current opening hours by giving them a call on the number below. They should be a must-stop whenever you are in St. Ann for some authentic Jamaican cuisine with their special twist or just some good seafood without a lengthy wait. Kudos to the Chef. Suga hopes to be back sooner and not later because Seaside Dutchie is still #SugaEndorsed. Cheers!

TGIF to Jamaica Liquor Warehouse ‘s Frozen Mint Lemonade & their team continuing to play it safe in the kitchen. Jamaica Liquor Warehouse ‘s Signature Frozen Mint Lemonade is quite a refreshing treat for just $500+tx and you can spike it!
Their team is playing it safe in the kitchen too. Kudos to them. I haven’t spied much Chefs wearing masks in the hot kitchen, so please keep it up!
As Covid is even a bigger threat to us now, I encourage you all to try and be as safe as you can this weekend. Wear your masks! Be wise and Sanitise!
Jamaica Liquor Warehouse offers pick up and you can check them to see if they are still delivering. They are #SugaEndorsed.

After 20 years of loyal patronage by locals and overseas visitors, Harmony Hall was sold and Toscanini closed.
Toscanini’s Chef, Pierluigi Ricci, nicknamed PG, opened PG’s Restaurant & Wine Bar along Tower Isle in October of last year.
He was happy to find the space, which he continues to make his own. Suga missed out on her trip to Rome this year, but you don’t have to go to Rome to experience the vintage ambience PG has created.
PG’s menu is based on what’s available at sea or is farm to table, accompanied by an extensive Wine List.
The dishes served continue to be high quality, authentic Italian dishes. Their fresh homemade Pasta is one of the best on the island and along with Simos Bread and Catering, so is their Tiramisu.
For Independence Day Weekend two Fridays ago, Suga dined with family, a party of 4. See some of what we enjoyed here!
Escargot BourguignonMozzarella Caprese SaladPappardelle Promodoro with grilled Shrimp (Shaved parmesan cheese & Tomato sauce)Fresh catch of the day, Mahi-Mahi.Tiramisu
We had Escargot Bourguignon, fresh Mozzarella Caprese Salad, Pappardelle Boscaiola (Bacon & fresh mushroom in a cream & tomato sauce), Pappardelle Promodoro with grilled Shrimp (Shaved parmesan cheese & rucola pesto) although they were out of Pesto so I received tomato sauce instead, Smoked Pork Chop in an apple cider sauce that was juicy to the bone and the fresh catch of the day, Mahi-Mahi.
Definitely value for money and worth the drive for Lunch one weekend if coming from Kingston. Pizza nights and rooftop dining may be on the horizon too.

Last Wednesday, I thoroughly enjoyed my warm, freshly baked Jumbo Chocolate Walnut Cookies from The Sweet Dozen!
Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, with a rich, Chocolate flavour!
I had the Funfetti as well that has white chocolate in it! It was yummy too, even though Danielle Boothe, owner of The Sweet Dozen is still perfecting it as one of her new flavours.
The Sweet Dozen offers Cheesecake, Brownies and more. Delivery available. Order your sweet treat today! Treat Yo’ Self!

It was so refreshing to leave town last Independence weekend and Restaurant hop!
Of course, with so many culinary gems on the north coast, I didn’t get to go everywhere I wanted to go, but definitely made a few stops worth mentioning.
First stop for Lunch last Friday, Evita’s Italian Restaurant!
Attentive staff with face shields, great, timely service, tasty dishes and a picturesque view.
We enjoyed Grilled Octopus, Smoked Marlin, Curried Shrimp and Chicken Breast and Chicken Breast Tortellini.
Grilled Marinated Octopus served with a fresh tomato and olive salsa (USD$8.50)Smoked Marlin ‘Carpaccio’ sliced thin, topped with capers and marinated onion rings (USD$7.50)Ja Curry ‘Supreme’ – Shrimp and Chicken Breast in Curry Mango-Chutney, white wine sauce (USD$16.50)
I concluded lunch with their Tiramisu. I was wondering why they didn’t dust the top of my Tiramisu with cocoa powder though.
Tiramisu
Stay tuned to see Suga’s next stop in St. Ann with Excellent Tiramisu!

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of indulging in mouth-watering, delicious Bread Pudding from The Bread Pudding Factory!
The Bread Pudding Factory opened in June of this year, a pivoting act around Covid-19 by Nikeisha Reynolds out of her home in Linstead, with the intention of acquiring a location. So the delicious Bread Puddings are currently available by delivery only.
You have the options of Rum & Raisin, Coconut Pineapple Upside Down, Chocolate Chip with Salted Caramel and the Plain Surprise.
Suga tried all flavours except for the Coconut Pineapple Upside Down. Although I love a Caramel crumble on top, they were all good! They had the right ratio of moisture to firmness and the flavours were really distinct. It was hard to determine, but the Chocolate Chip with salted caramel was my favourite.
Nikeisha, foodie turned baker, believes bread is a Jamaican staple that comforts the soul. She thinks it is quite versatile to use in the kitchen and so of course, she has other recipes for more flavours up her sleeve!
The cost for a mixed box of 4 is $2200JMD with an additional cost of $350JMD for delivery. Payment is COD or via Online Transfer. Order yours! The Bread Pudding Factory is #SugaEndorsed.
