We made reservations last Sunday for 11:15AM (Although Suga got there closer to Noon :)). I joined my ladies when they were finishing their Appetizers…Calamari, no surprise there.
I had given them my order already, so it would arrive with theirs. I was thankful for the healthy options that Broken Plate continue to provide. Fulljoyed My stacked plate of Octopus Avocado Toast made with Coconut Avocado Bread as the base. It was so moist and wholesome! The Short Rib and Steak and Egg Sandwiches didn’t look filling, but the Southern Chicken & Waffle was another winner.
Did you see that Matcha Cake?! Yum!
It was an unusual day for The Bartender to be on his own, but our drinks arrived in adequate time and thankfully we left just as Brunch became Buzzier closer to 2pm. I only ask that light music be played in the background.
The staff was attentive throughout, kept us updated on our orders and we had a great afternoon catching up with each other, leaving satisfied.
A New Brunch menu is offered each week. Love that. RSVP ONLY.
When last have you gone on a date, gone for brunch, lunch or dinner at Broken Plate? Make your Reservations and get to it!

Suga’s revisit to Cellar 8 (Ig: @cellar8kgn) in Upper Manor Park last Saturday evening didn’t miss a beat, but more persons should be there to enjoy it!
Kudos to the pleasant, professional, attentive staff, the Chef who cooked BBQ Oxtail Wonton garnished with cranberry olives parmesan tapenade and the Chicken Tomato Linguine to perfection, all in a cozy, ambience.

Time is moving way too fast and when you need a quick, but economical way that’s easy and just as good or can pass as your home cooked or favourite Cookshop meal, stock up on Eezy Meals! *Rice & veggies not included, but that’s easy to cook and stock up on and reheat too. Microwaving is super fast, but I preferred to leave it Boiling for ~40mins while I worked from home.
Trus me, yuh nuh Wah share di Stew Peas, but the Curried Chicken can actually serve for 2 (half a sharing plated & pictured) and the Jamosas.
Curried Goat, Stew Beef, Stew Pork, Oxtail & more from J$1000 – 1500 are available! Di Oxtail is J$3000 of course.
Jamosas that are filled with Callaloo, Curried Chickpeas, Potato, Jerk Pork & more, can be found in the frozen aisle section of any supermarket near you.
For Eezy Meals, you can head over to http://www.eezymeals.com and Order Now! It’s definitely more value for money and worth the convenience to order a few at a time OR If you can pick up on Marcus Garvey Drive, great!
You’re Welcome. XoXo, Suga

Summer marks the 1 year Anniversary that Hurricane Beryl destroyed this beautiful villa. I was excited and happy to visit upon its reopening the end of May earlier this year for the Calabash Festival.
Who makes last minute plans to attend Calabash and stay over for the weekend? Suga does! Because I can find gems like Treasure Beach Inn (Ig: @treasurebeachinn). Owner, Ernie Muirhead quickly accommodated me, sending menus and ensured I was comfortable throughout my stay.
Saphia cooked up a storm from morning to night for the weekend, with traditional Jamaican spicy Callaloo, Cook up Saltfish, Stew Peas to tie me so I return, good ol’ fried Chicken and Curried Lobster.
The rebuild was still in progress, but complete for the most part. I enjoyed the breezy Bar you can dine or drink, chill and chat for hours by, clean Room and Kitchen with modern, yet rustic beachside furnishings.
Demanding a Pool would be a lot after such a big rebuild, but the Beach is close by!
If you need a staycay before September begins or need to plan ahead for Treasure Beach’s Food, Rum and Reggae Festival (Ig: @foodrumreggaefestival),
Call 876.563.0658 or 754.216.8866 and visit their Instagram Page @treasurebeachinn!

Last Thursday’s Corporate Mingle One Park Restaurant and Lounge by 1 Park Close close to NHT, was definitely about Connections, Community and Collaborations. Mingle Moments always Matter!
I met so many intriguing, optimistic individuals with Bright energies. This particular conversation held me for probably half an hour. I am also happy I was able to keep these Queens engaged, since two of them were apprehensive about coming out and being brave enough to network. This is what it’s all about! Cheers to them and everyone else who came out before the holiday weekend. Thank you!
