Suga’s Breakdown:

The Rocks Restaurant & Bar is located on the seaside directly across from Harmony Hall and has breathtaking views, attentive staff and food done to order.

We enjoyed Escargot (could have been a bit spicier), Roast Chicken and quite a commendable Curry Goat. #SugaSnaps

Escargot (USD$15)
Roasted Chicken (USD$12)
Curried Goat (USD$15)

The Crème Brûlée was deliciously rummy! A pleasant surprise.

Crème Brûlée (USD$8)

The Rocks Restaurant & Bar is #SugaEndorsed. Thanks for the hospitality. I will have Cocktails from the Bar next time around!

by Brand JamaicaChefs, Bakers and CaterersHealth & FitnessRestaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

Start your week off the right way and remember you can eat healthy the fun way on weekends too!

Watch “Eating Healthy the Fun way with The Commissary’s Simo’s Bread and Catering!” on YouTube here:

I enjoyed going to the The Commissary by Devon House and using Simo’s Bread and Catering’s Cherry Tomato Salsa to top off my loaded baked Potato Wedges and Chicken franks (meat optional) also topped off with black beans and corn. Great for a light Lunch.

Then I had a little extra left and used it top off my Sunday Dinner! Hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed Simo’s Bread and Catering’s Vegan Pesto with my Grilled Chicken & whole grain Linguine Pasta, also topped off with a dash of low-fat, low calorie (20 cal.!) grated Parmesan Cheese.

Customized low-fat Hazelnut Frappé from Blue Mahoe Estate Café

I called ahead and Blue Mahoe Estate Café had my customized low-fat Hazelnut Frappé ready in no time for pick up on Haining Road.

Did you know the majority of delicious Frappes have Whole milk and/ condensed milk, which have high saturated fat? Go Healthy and just ask your Café to replace with Almond Milk and remember, no chocolate/caramel syrup & no whipped cream! It will still taste good I promise 😃

Have a healthy and productive week Suga Bears 💖

Check out this healthy, colourful dish from Wright Life Live Food Eatery in Devon House!

Ackee Taco, Cauliflower rice and a fresh, flavourful Chickpea medley. I mean, Chickpeas don’t always have to be curried!

In the mean time, be inspired and even try to cook it in the kitchen yourselves. The world has gone digital. Use your tools and apps wisely 😉
