Thanks to everyone who came out and supported my GW Art Christmas Pop-Up Shop at Chai Studios last Saturday.

Thanks to those who still contacted me to request their pieces even though they couldn’t make it.

The support from family and friends was heartwarming and I truly appreciate the compliments received about my GW Art Collection.

Thanks also to Chai Studios for providing a great, comfortable venue indoors and kudos to the other artisans that had creative, fun booths too.

Some GW Art Items are still available, so feel free to contact Gabby using the Contact information below. There is still time to treat yourself or purchase gifts for loved ones from GW Art before Christmas.

Hope to hear from you soon!

They were filling, flavourful flatbreads. I couldn’t identify my favourite. My friends and I enjoyed all of them with Beer, Wine and Cocktails.

How was Sunday Dinner for Suga at The Terra Nova for Restaurant Week (Epicurean)?!

Last Sunday at 6:30pm, I had Dinner at The Terrace, Terra Nova All Suite Hotel. The Terrace is in the Epicurean category ($4300JMD) for Restaurant Week and my husband, Randy and I were looking forward to having sumptuous dishes.

We had a great start with the Appetizers. I preferred the Seafood Medley.

Confit of Pimento Chicken – On a medallion of hard dough bread and a drizzle of pineapple pepper jelly

We both had the Lobster Bisque to follow, which was rich Lobster Soup, finished with cream and Brandy. I appreciated that the Soup was not salty. It was rich indeed and tasty.

Apart from a long wait before the Entrees, service was smooth. When we were waiting a little bit more than half an hour with no update on the arrival of the Entrees, a waiter caught my eye looking around and said that our Entrees were coming out shortly and they did. Besides that hiccup, the staff were cordial and quite attentive. The food was sumptuous as expected too.

Terra Nova Petit Fillet – Petit prime Filet Mignon grilled, topped with Shrimp and Blue Mussel scampi with Scallop Potato and roasted Vegetable.

With the above salivating description of a Surf n’ Turf, I think they could have served more than a single Shrimp and Mussel. Props to the Chef though, because that cut of meat was perfection  and cooked to order, medium rare, exactly how we like it. Same goes for the Lamb Chops! No disappointment there, because Terra Nova is known to have the best on the island. I thoroughly enjoyed those portions.

Terra Nova Half Rack of Lamb – Marinated New Zealand Lamb crusted with garlic and rosemary, roasted and served with mint and Pomegranate Au Jus

Dessert was decadent and quite a delightful ending to our Sunday Dinner.

Dessert served at The Terrace, Terra Nova All Suite Hotel last Sunday, November 12, 2017.

The three courses with the addition of a beverage, service charge and G.C.T came to about $6000JMD per person. The Terrace at the Terra Nova All Suite Hotel was definitely value for money and is Suga Endorsed for Restaurant Week.

There are still three nights left for Restaurant Week and it may not be too late to make those Reservations!

Enjoy!

KFC Gives Away $400,000 Tuition to a UWI, Mona Student!

KFC Jamaica’s BBQ Zinger
As of October 17th this year, KFC Jamaica crowned The University of the West Indies, Mona (UWI, Mona) as the ‘Zinger Capital of Jamaica’ due to them having the most Zinger Sandwiches sold in the local restaurant network over the past few years. 

Why is the Zinger Sandwich so popular amongst UWI students?

KFC Jamaica believes that Zinger Sandwiches are a convenient choice for young adults and that they get overall satisfaction for its amazing taste and flavour with choices of Hot n’ Spicy, BBQ or the Western Zinger.

UWI Students have expressed appreciation for the Sandwich’s real ingredients, that is, the fact that it is made of 100% real Chicken with fresh Vegetables topped off with melted Cheese that gives it more flavour.

How did KFC UWI show their Appreciation for the Support of the UWI Community?

For a limited time only during KFC Jamaica’s Zinger Promotional period, they upsized Fries and Drinks at certain times and gave away free Zingers on a Friday along with the purchase of a Zinger combo!

KFC decided to show their appreciation even further by awarding a Student with Free Zingers for an entire year after purchasing a Zinger and entering a raffle.

Congratulations to Satina Edwards  who won Free Zingers for a Year!

How did KFC give away $400,000 Tuition to a UWI Student?!

Suga has endorsed the fact that KFC has recognized that many students on Campus face financial challenges, so they decided to offer assistance towards their education.

They ran a Social Media Competition via Instagram for their UWI Mona Zinger lovers to rap about the KFC Zinger, shortlisted entries to 10 Finalists and then the Winner with the most likes by November 1, 2017, Kemar DaCosta  received a $400,000 Tuition Grant courtesy of KFC Jamaica!

Congratulations to Kemar DaCosta, Winner of the #ForMyZingerChallenge and a $400,000 Tuition Grant!

Kemar DaCosta, student of UWI, Mona rose to the top of the #ForMyZingerChallenge and topped up his UWI, Mona Tuition account with $400,000JMD!

Check out the Talented, Entertaining Videos here for the UWI Mona Finalists on Instagram, @kfcjamaica by clicking on the hashtag,   #ForMyZingerChallenge .

Kudus to KFC Jamaica for helping to Build a Brighter Future for our Children through Education, thus Building a Better Jamaica and Congratulations to UWI Mona, the Zinger Capital of Jamaica!
