Rainforest Caribbean Brought the Sea to ROK Hotel Kingston last Friday!

Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga with Award-Winning Chef Volae Williams at ROK Hotel Kingston’s Seafood Buffet with Rainforest Caribbean last Friday.
[Dress: EtAl]

TGIF was an understatement. Thank you Rainforest Caribbean and the Award-Winning Chef Volae Williams and his team at ROK Hotel Kingston by the ROKStone Grill for a spectacular Seafood Buffet Experience spanning about 7 stations.

Suga Highlights? Check them out here!

Jerked Octopus with scotch bonnet citrus herbed butter


– My targeted, ‘meaty’ Jerked Octopus with adequate heat from scotch bonnet citrus herbed butter
– Hubby’s fave, Ceviche by the Raw Bar was on point
– Enjoyable selection of traditional and Jamaican rolls by the Sushi and Nigiri station
– The Mixed Seafood Pasta! I’m gonna tell you about it!
– The Strawberry Macaroons and rich Chocolate Log Cake were perfection. Definitely worth the calories.

Chef Volae told Suga they made a special effort to bring out the taste of the flavour of Rainforest Caribbean’s Seafood and of course you can’t do that by piling on a sauce. So hubby and I definitely appreciated their mixed seafood tossed in fettuccine with sundried tomatoes in a very light Mondavi Wine, butter and garlic sauce. Surely the Fit Happens with Gabby way. Nailed it!

All you can eat for J$10,000 with a live band and wait staff that we gave an A for effort. This experience was definitely value for money, especially as we continuously strive to revive Downtown, Kingston.

Same time, same place each month Chef Volae, ROK Hotel Kingston and Rainforest Caribbean? We’ll see!

XoXo,
Suga

Fun Memories and Experience at Jamaica Coffee Festival Rain or Shine! Perfect outing for my friend Jody who was doing a quick visit to her JA from DC.

What’s in Your Cup this Morning?

We sipped both Hot and Cold Mountain Pride in edible, Vegan Cupffee Jamaica Cups,
Sampled lactose-free Smith’s Rum Creams,
had a big boost with Cold Coffee our way from Cafe Blue by the winning Barista that day, Romell!
Then we warmed up the richest, best and most authentic way, having our JBMCoffee Black by PerkUp Coffee and JABLUM Coffee!

Big up to all the other Coffee Makers on the Day too! #sipthegreatness

TGIF to Feeling on Top of the World! Are you going to Jamaica Coffee Fest Tomorrow?

Craighton Estate, Irish Town, Jamaica

Word has it that the JDF forces should be assisting to make it a smooth experience getting up and down the Hills tomorrow with more buses and larger buses than last year… plus an experience at the pick up point, UTECH too.

So whether you have been or not, Suga advises that if you go, go Early and Enjoy the Best Coffee, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
