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

by Culinary ExperiencesRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

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 !

TGIF From Where the WiFi is Weak, but the Rum is Strong at Worthy Park Estate Rum Tour!

by Brand JamaicaSuga TastersWhat's Hot

Three weeks ago, we visited Jamaica’s Newest Rum Tour attraction, BUT our Oldest Rum Producer at The Worthy Park Estate Rum Tour.

It is just 1 hour outside of Kingston and Ocho Rios, located in St. Catherine, Jamaica.

Watch Highlights “From Where the WiFi is Weak, but the Rum is Strong at Worthy Park Estate Rum Tour!” on YouTube here:

https://youtu.be/pOmCMu_S2ZI

THINGS TO KNOW! 
– 1st producer of Rum in Jamaica in 1670
– Halted Bulk Rum production in 1962, allowing others to go into market
Largest producer of Brown Sugar on the island
– Only Local Rum Producer with a Copper Pot Still (such a beaut!) 
– Produces over 7 varieties of Rum

WHY RUM-BAR RUM IS SO AFFORDABLE! 
– Worthy Park is a True Single Estate Producer, using its own raw materials, including Molasses! 
– Their Molasses is in a tank on a scale. No need to truck and weigh it like other Rum Producers 
– No wastage. Their Bagasse left over after juicing Sugar Cane is used for Electricity! 

An informative, eye-opening, exciting tour by Shunna-Gaye, witnessing the transition of Sugar Cane to pure, premium Jamaican Rum! 
The Tour closed with a Rum Flight, tasting 5 Award-winning Rum-Bar and Worthy Park Single Estate premium rums. 

FUN FACTS
– Suga has a Biotechnology degree and visited Worthy Park just before they started producing RUM-BAR Rum! 
– Whatever you Drink, they have a Rum Worthy for You. My fave as a Scotch drinker, was the Single Estate Reserve. 
How come? Go Visit and See for Yourselves! 
WORTHY Park Estate Rum Tour is #SugaEndorsed

Until this New Attraction grows and is expected to provide more with more guests, it is highly suggested you eat first and carry a snack. 

*Tour Reservations are by Appointment Only
Must be 18 and over to Tour
*Closed on Public Holidays
Cost of Tour – J$2700 with local ID; US $25
Call 876-279-7421

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

by Restaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

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.

The Cutest Little Spot For High QualiTEAS Right Now Is Mimimo Bakery!

by Restaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

Tasty, High QualiTEAS from Mimimo Bakery (Ig:@ mimimo_ja) located in Progressive Shopping Center, Barbican serving you Boba, Milk, Thai Teas and more.

Of course, my fave is the Matcha Milk Tea with Boba.

You can add your own toppings + add one of their yummy Desserts that move fast!
I really wanted to try the Matcha Swiss Roll, but didn’t mind settling for the Mocha Cream Cheese Cake that was delish too.

What is Bubble Tea or BOBA anyway?!
Tapioca starch a.k.a cassava starch or tapioca pearls. Small spheres are often simmered in a brown sugar syrup to give them a sweet taste and dark black color.

Still waiting on Mimimo to get Almond or Oat Milk and it would be awesome for them to get the VisuEats App to see what all these Teas look like!
Go check them out.
